Zechariah Chapter 7 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And it came to pass in the fourth <H0702> year <H8141> of king <H4428> Darius, <H1867> [that] the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto Zechariah <H2148> in the fourth <H0702> [day] of the ninth <H8671> month, <H2320> [even] in Chisleu; <H3691>
2: When they had sent <H7971> unto the house <H1004> of God <H0410> Sherezer <H8272> and Regemmelech, <H7278> and their men, <H0582> to pray <H2470> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068>
3: [And] to speak <H0559> unto the priests <H3548> which [were] in the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> and to the prophets, <H5030> saying, <H0559> Should I weep <H1058> in the fifth <H2549> month, <H2320> separating <H5144> myself, as I have done <H6213> these so many years? <H8141>
4: Then came the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> unto me, saying, <H0559>
5: Speak <H0559> unto all the people <H5971> of the land, <H0776> and to the priests, <H3548> saying, <H0559> When ye fasted <H6684> and mourned <H5594> in the fifth <H2549> and seventh <H7637> [month], even those seventy <H7657> years, <H8141> did ye at all <H6684> fast <H6684> unto me, [even] to me?
6: And when ye did eat, <H0398> and when ye did drink, <H8354> did not ye eat <H0398> [for yourselves], and drink <H8354> [for yourselves]?
7: [Should ye] not [hear] the words <H1697> which the LORD <H3068> hath cried <H7121> by <H3027> the former <H7223> prophets, <H5030> when Jerusalem <H3389> was inhabited <H3427> and in prosperity, <H7961> and the cities <H5892> thereof round about <H5439> her, when [men] inhabited <H3427> the south <H5045> and the plain? <H8219>
8: And the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto Zechariah, <H2148> saying, <H0559>
9: Thus speaketh <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> saying, <H0559> Execute <H8199> true <H0571> judgment, <H4941> and shew <H6213> mercy <H2617> and compassions <H7356> every man <H0376> to his brother: <H0251>
10: And oppress <H6231> not the widow, <H0490> nor the fatherless, <H3490> the stranger, <H1616> nor the poor; <H6041> and let none <H0376> of you imagine <H2803> evil <H7451> against his brother <H0251> in your heart. <H3824>
11: But they refused <H3985> to hearken, <H7181> and pulled <H5414> away <H5637> the shoulder, <H3802> and stopped <H3513> their ears, <H0241> that they should not hear. <H8085>
12: Yea, they made <H7760> their hearts <H3820> [as] an adamant stone, <H8068> lest they should hear <H8085> the law, <H8451> and the words <H1697> which the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> hath sent <H7971> in his spirit <H7307> by <H3027> the former <H7223> prophets: <H5030> therefore came a great <H1419> wrath <H7110> from the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
13: Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, <H7121> and they would not hear; <H8085> so they cried, <H7121> and I would not hear, <H8085> saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts: <H6635>
14: But I scattered them with a whirlwind <H5590> among all the nations <H1471> whom they knew <H3045> not. Thus the land <H0776> was desolate <H8074> after <H0310> them, that no man passed through <H5674> nor returned: <H7725> for they laid <H7760> the pleasant <H2532> land <H0776> desolate. <H8047>
