7 In the fourth year of king Darius this message from the Eternal came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month [[that is, Chislev]]. 2 The town of Bethel had sent El-sarazer, Regem-melek, and their men to propitiate the Eternal, 3 to ask the priests of the temple of the Lord of hosts and the prophets, “Are we to mourn and fast during the fifth month, as we have been doing all these years?” 4 Then this message from the Lord of hosts came to me: 5 “Tell all the laity and the priests: ‘When you fasted and wailed during the fifth month and the seventh month all these seventy years, was it for me, for me, that you were fasting? 6 When you eat and drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? 7 When Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, with her towns round her and the Negeb and the lowlands inhabited, did not the Eternal send this loud message by the former prophets, 9 these orders from the Lord of hosts?--administer genuine justice, practise kindness and compassion towards each other, 10 oppress not the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, or the poor, and never plot evil in your hearts against each other. 11 But they would not listen, they turned their backs stubbornly and shut their ears, that they might not hear his word; 12 they made their hearts like adamant, lest they should hear the directions and the orders which the Lord of hosts had inspired the former prophets to deliver. So heavy wrath fell from the Lord of hosts. 13 As they would not listen when he called, so I would not listen when they called, says the Lord of hosts; 14 I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, nations strange to them, and the land they left lay desolate—not a foot stirred in it, for that delightful land was laid desolate.’ ”
