Chapter Seven And it came to pass in the
fourth year of King Darius, that the word

00:05.500 --> 00:08.900
of the Lord came unto Zechariah in the
fourth day of the ninth month,

00:09.300 --> 00:13.520
even in Kislu, when they had sent unto the
house of God Chirizur and Regamelich,

00:13.700 --> 00:17.780
and their men, to pray before the Lord,
and to speak unto the priests which are in

00:17.780 --> 00:21.640
the house of the Lord of hosts,
and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep

00:21.640 --> 00:25.700
in the fifth month, separating myself,
as I have done these so many years?

00:26.240 --> 00:30.680
Then came a word of the Lord of hosts unto
me, saying, Speak unto all the people of

00:30.680 --> 00:34.960
the land, and to the priests, saying,
When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth

00:34.960 --> 00:39.920
and seventh month, even though seventy
years, did ye at all fast unto me,

00:40.560 --> 00:41.320
even to me?

00:41.880 --> 00:47.160
And when ye did eat, and when ye did
drink, did not ye eat for yourselves,

00:47.580 --> 00:48.740
and drink for yourselves?

00:49.820 --> 00:53.480
Should ye not hear the words which the
Lord hath cried by the former prophets,

00:54.060 --> 00:58.240
when Jerusalem was inhabited and in
prosperity, and the cities thereof round

00:58.240 --> 01:01.380
about her, when men inhabited the south
and the plain?

01:01.860 --> 01:05.780
And the word of the Lord came unto
Zechariah, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord

01:05.780 --> 01:11.460
of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment,
and show mercy and compassions every man

01:11.460 --> 01:12.040
to his brother.

01:13.120 --> 01:17.260
And oppress not the widow, nor the
fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor.

01:17.900 --> 01:21.220
And let none of you imagine evil against
his brother in your heart.

01:22.280 --> 01:26.100
But they refused to hearken, and pulled
away the shoulder and stopped their ears,

01:26.180 --> 01:27.060
that they should not hear.

01:28.140 --> 01:33.200
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant
stone, lest they should hear the law.

01:33.920 --> 01:37.620
And the words which the Lord of hosts hath
sent in his spirit by the former prophets,

01:38.480 --> 01:40.920
therefore came a great wrath from the Lord
of hosts.

01:42.020 --> 01:45.740
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he
cried, and they would not hear,

01:46.220 --> 01:49.680
so they cried, and I would not hear,
saith the Lord of hosts.

01:50.800 --> 01:54.000
But I scattered them with a whirlwind
among all the nations whom they knew not.

01:54.920 --> 01:58.880
Thus the land was desolate after them,
that no man passed through nor returned.

01:59.740 --> 02:02.080
For they laid the pleasant land desolate.
