9 “Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Administrem a verdadeira justiça, mostrem misericórdia e compaixão uns para com os outros.

Zacarias 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 7:9

Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying
The same things as he had before; for the things following are ever in force, and always to be attended to, and to be regarded and preferred before anything merely ritual and ceremonial; and especially before the traditions and commandments of men, of which nature the above fasts were: Execute true judgment;
or, "judge judgment ^F5 of truth"; this is addressed to the judges of the people, that when any cause came before them between man and man, that they would judge righteously, according to the law of God; and, without respect to persons, pass sentence as the truth of the case required: and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother;
whether in want of food, raiment, or in whatsoever distress, whether of body or mind; which is much more acceptable to God than any legal sacrifices, or outward abstinences and humiliations, ( Hosea 6:6 ) ( 1 John 3:17 ) .

Zacarias 7:9 In-Context

7 Não são essas as palavras do SENHOR proclamadas pelos antigos profetas quando Jerusalém e as cidades ao seu redor estavam em paz e prosperavam, e o Neguebe e a Sefelá eram habitados?”

8 E a palavra do SENHOR veio novamente a Zacarias:

9 “Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Administrem a verdadeira justiça, mostrem misericórdia e compaixão uns para com os outros.

10 Não oprimam a viúva e o órfão, nem o estrangeiro e o necessitado. Nem tramem maldades uns contra os outros”.

11 Mas eles se recusaram a dar atenção; teimosamente viraram as costas e taparam os ouvidos.
