7:1 And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
fourth
yeere
of
King
Darius,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
Zechariah
in
the
fourth
day
of
the
ninth
moneth,
euen
in
Chisleu.
7:2 When
they
had
sent
vnto
the
house
of
God,
Sherezer
and
Regem-melech,
and
their
men
to
pray
before
the
Lord,
7:3 And
to
speake
vnto
the
priestes,
which
were
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
hosts,
and
to
the
prophets,
saying,
Should
I
weepe
in
the
fift
moneth,
separating
my
selfe,
as
I
haue
done
these
so
many
yeeres
7:4 Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
vnto
me,
saying,
7:5 Speake
vnto
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
to
the
priests,
saying,
When
ye
fasted
and
mourned
in
the
fift
and
seuenth
moneth,
euen
those
seuenty
yeeres;
did
ye
at
all
fast
vnto
me,
euen
to
me
7:6 And
when
ye
did
eat,
and
when
ye
did
drinke,
did
not
ye
eat
for
your
selues,
and
drinke
for
your
selues
7:7 Should
yee
not
heare
the
wordes,
which
the
Lord
hath
cried
by
the
former
Prophets,
when
Ierusalem
was
inhabited,
and
in
prosperitie,
and
the
cities
thereof
round
about
her,
when
men
inhabited
the
South
of
the
plaine
7:8 And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
Zechariah,
saying;
7:9 Thus
speaketh
the
Lord
of
hostes,
saying,
Execute
true
iudgement,
and
shew
mercie
and
compassions
euery
man
to
his
brother.
7:10 And
oppresse
not
the
widow,
nor
the
fatherlesse,
the
stranger,
nor
the
poore,
and
let
none
of
you
imagine
euill
against
his
brother
in
your
heart.
7:11 But
they
refused
to
hearken,
and
pulled
away
the
shoulder,
and
stopped
their
eares,
that
they
should
not
heare.
7:12 Yea,
they
made
their
hearts
as
an
adamant
stone,
lest
they
should
heare
the
Law,
and
the
wordes
which
the
Lord
of
hostes
hath
sent
in
his
spirit
by
the
former
Prophets:
therefore
came
a
great
wrath
from
the
Lord
of
hostes.
7:13 Therefore
it
is
come
to
passe,
that
as
he
cried,
and
they
would
not
heare,
so
they
cried,
and
I
would
not
heare,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes.
7:14 But
I
scattered
them
with
a
whirlewinde
among
all
the
nations,
whom
they
knew
not:
thus
the
land
was
desolate
after
them,
that
no
man
passed
through,
nor
returned:
for
they
layed
the
pleasant
land
desolate.
