9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother; 10 And do not oppress the widow nor the orphan, the poor nor the proselyte; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in his heart. 11 But they refused to hearken, they rebelled and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 12 Yea, they made their hearts like adamant, lest they should hear the law, and the ordinances which the LORD of hosts has sent in his Spirit by the former prophets; therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13 Since I have called them and they would not hear, so they shall call me and I will not listen, says the LORD of hosts. 14 And I scattered them among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, without any one to pass through it and without an inhabitant, because they made the pleasant land a desolation. Zechariah 7:9-14, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
