Zechariah 撒迦利亚书07
1In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.
2The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, together with their men, to entreat 1 the Lord
3by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty 2 and the prophets, "Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?"
4Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me:
5"Ask all the people of the land and the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted?
6And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves?
7Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills were settled?' "
8And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah:
9"This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion 3 to one another.
10Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.'
11"But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears.
12They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the Lord Almighty was very angry.
13" 'When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,' says the Lord Almighty.
14'I scattered 4 them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate 5 behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.' "
