Zechariah 7:1-14

7:1

And it came to pass in the fourth
<0702>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Darius
<01867>_,

[that] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Zechariah
<02148>

in the fourth
<0702>

[day] of the ninth
<08671>

month
<02320>_,

[even] in Chisleu
<03691>_;

7:2

When they had sent
<07971> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of God
<0410>

Sherezer
<08272>

and Regemmelech
<07278>_,

and their men
<0582>_,

to pray
<02470> (8763)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

{pray...: Heb. intreat the face of}

7:3

[And] to speak
<0559> (8800)

unto the priests
<03548>

which [were] in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and to the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Should I weep
<01058> (8799)

in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_,

separating
<05144> (8736)

myself, as I have done
<06213> (8804)

these so many years
<08141>_?

7:4

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:5

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and to the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When ye fasted
<06684> (8804)

and mourned
<05594> (8800)

in the fifth
<02549>

and seventh
<07637>

[month], even those seventy
<07657>

years
<08141>_,

did ye at all
<06684> (8800)

fast
<06684> (8804)

unto me, [even] to me?

7:6

And when ye did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and when ye did drink
<08354> (8799)_,

did not ye eat
<0398> (8802)

[for yourselves], and drink
<08354> (8802)

[for yourselves]? {did not ye: or, be not ye they that}

7:7

[Should ye] not [hear] the words
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath cried
<07121> (8804)

by
<03027>

the former
<07223>

prophets
<05030>_,

when Jerusalem
<03389>

was inhabited
<03427> (8802)

and in prosperity
<07961>_,

and the cities
<05892>

thereof round about her
<05439>_,

when [men] inhabited
<03427> (8802)

the south
<05045>

and the plain
<08219>_?

{Should...: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}

7:8

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Zechariah
<02148>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:9

Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Execute
<08199> (8798)

true
<0571>

judgment
<04941>_,

and shew
<06213> (8798)

mercy
<02617>

and compassions
<07356>

every man
<0376>

to his brother
<0251>_:

{Execute...: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}

7:10

And oppress
<06231> (8799)

not the widow
<0490>_,

nor the fatherless
<03490>_,

the stranger
<01616>_,

nor the poor
<06041>_;

and let none of you imagine
<02803> (8799)

evil
<07451>

against
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

in your heart
<03824>_.

7:11

But they refused
<03985> (8762)

to hearken
<07181> (8687)_,

and pulled away
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)

the shoulder
<03802>_,

and stopped
<03513> (8689)

their ears
<0241>_,

that they should not hear
<08085> (8800)_.

{pulled...: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}

7:12

Yea, they made
<07760> (8804)

their hearts
<03820>

[as] an adamant stone
<08068>_,

lest they should hear
<08085> (8800)

the law
<08451>_,

and the words
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

in his spirit
<07307>

by
<03027>

the former
<07223>

prophets
<05030>_:

therefore came a great
<01419>

wrath
<07110>

from the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

7:13

Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried
<07121> (8804)_,

and they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;

so they cried
<07121> (8799)_,

and I would not hear
<08085> (8799)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_:

7:14

But I scattered them with a whirlwind
<05590> (8762)

among all the nations
<01471>

whom they knew
<03045> (8804)

not. Thus the land
<0776>

was desolate
<08074> (8738)

after
<0310>

them, that no man passed through
<05674> (8802)

nor returned
<07725> (8802)_:

for they laid
<07760> (8799)

the pleasant
<02532>

land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. land of desire}
