Zechariah 7:8-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

8 The word of the Lord came to Zechariah:

9 "The Lord of Hosts says this: Render true justice. Show faithful love and compassion to one another.

10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor, and do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.

11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear.

12 They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the Lord of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the Lord of Hosts.

13 Just as He had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen," says the Lord of Hosts.

14 "I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation."

New International Version NIV

8 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah:

9 “This is what the LORD Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.

10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’

11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.

12 They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry.

13 “ ‘When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,’ says the LORD Almighty.

14 ‘I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.’ ”
