4 Don't be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed: 'This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: |It's time to turn from your evil lifestyles and from your evil actions,| 'but they would neither listen nor pay attention to me,'| declares the LORD.' 5 |Your ancestors—where are they? And the prophets—do they live forever? 6 But my words and my statutes that I gave as commands to my servants the prophets—did they not overwhelm your ancestors? And they returned to me: 'The LORD of the Heavenly Armies acted toward us just as he planned to do—in keeping with our lifestyles and in keeping with our actions.'| Zechariah 1:4-6, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
