Zechariah 7:4-7

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

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

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?

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}

[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>_?
