1 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu. 2 And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH, 3 speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?” 4 And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying, 5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 6 When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking? Zechariah 7:1-6, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
