Zacarías 1:4 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:4

Be ye not as your fathers
Who lived before the captivity, and misused the prophets and messengers of the Lord, and despised his word, and fell into gross idolatry; the evil examples of parents and ancestors are not to be followed: unto whom the former prophets have cried:
such as Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others: saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, Turn now from your evil ways,
and [from] your evil doings;
by their "evil ways" may be meant their idolatrous worship; and by their "evil doings" their immoralities; or, by both, their wicked lives and conversations, both before God and men; from whence they were exhorted by the former prophets to turn, and to reform; even "now", at that present time they prophesied to them, immediately, lest destruction come upon them: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord;
speaking by his prophets, who were sent by him, and came and spoke in his name; so that not hearing them was not hearing him who sent them, and whom they represented.

Zacarías 1:4 In-Context

2 El SEÑOR se enojó mucho contra vuestros padres.
3 Diles, pues: "Así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: "Volveos a mí'declara el SEÑOR de los ejércitos"y yo me volveré a vosotros'dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos.
4 'No seáis como vuestros padres, a quienes los antiguos profetas proclamaron, diciendo: "Así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: 'Volveos ahora de vuestros malos caminos y de vuestras malas obras.'" Pero no me escucharon ni me hicieron caso'declara el SEÑOR.
5 'Vuestros padres, ¿dónde están? Y los profetas, ¿viven para siempre?
6 'Pero mis palabras y mis estatutos que yo ordené a mis siervos los profetas ¿no alcanzaron a vuestros padres? Por eso se arrepintieron y dijeron: "Como el SEÑOR de los ejércitos se propuso hacer con nosotros conforme a nuestros caminos y conforme a nuestras obras, así ha hecho con nosotros.'""
