Zechariah 7:9-14 ▼

9 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, || Judge [with] true judgment, || And do kindness and mercy with one another.

10 And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, || Sojourner, and poor, || And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.

11 And they refuse to attend, || And they give a stubborn shoulder, || And their ears are made heavy against hearing.

12 And their heart they have made adamant, || Against hearing the Law, and the words, || That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, || By the hand of the former prophets, || And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.

13 And it comes to pass, as He called, || And they have not listened, || So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.

14 “And I toss them on all the nations, || That they have not known, || The land has been desolate behind them, || Of any passing by and turning back, || And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
