And it came to pass in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of kingH4428 DariusH1867, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto ZechariahH2148 in the fourthH702 day of the ninthH8671 monthH2320, even in ChisleuH3691;
When they had sentH7971 unto the houseH1004 of GodH410 SherezerH8272 and RegemmelechH7278, and their menH582, to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, {pray…: Heb. intreat the face of}
And to speakH559 unto the priestsH3548 which were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, Should I weepH1058 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, separatingH5144 myself, as I have doneH6213 these so many yearsH8141?
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto me, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 unto me, even to me?
And when ye did eatH398, and when ye did drinkH8354, did not ye eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves? {did not ye: or, be not ye they that}
Should ye not hear the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperityH7961, and the citiesH5892 thereof round about herH5439, when men inhabitedH3427 the southH5045 and the plainH8219? {Should…: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto ZechariahH2148, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shewH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251: {Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
And oppressH6231 not the widowH490, nor the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, nor the poorH6041; and let none of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he criedH7121, and they would not hearH8085; so they criedH7121, and I would not hearH8085, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
But I scattered them with a whirlwindH5590 among all the nationsH1471 whom they knewH3045 not. Thus the landH776 was desolateH8074 afterH310 them, that no man passed throughH5674 nor returnedH7725: for they laidH7760 the pleasantH2532 landH776 desolateH8047. {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
