7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth 702 year 8141 of king 4428 Darius 1867, [that] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Zechariah 2148 in the fourth 702 [day] of the ninth 8671 month 2320, [even] in Chisleu 3691;

7:2 When they had sent 7971 8799 unto the house 1004 of God 410 Sherezer 8272 and Regemmelech 7278, and their men 582, to pray 2470 8763 before 6440 the LORD 3068,(pray…: Heb. intreat the face of)

7:3 [And] to speak 559 8800 unto the priests 3548 which [were] in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, and to the prophets 5030, saying 559 8800, Should I weep 1058 8799 in the fifth 2549 month 2320, separating 5144 8736 myself, as I have done 6213 8804 these so many years 8141?

7:4 Then came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 unto me, saying 559 8800,

7:5 Speak 559 8798 unto all the people 5971 of the land 776, and to the priests 3548, saying 559 8800, When ye fasted 6684 8804 and mourned 5594 8800 in the fifth 2549 and seventh 7637 [month], even those seventy 7657 years 8141, did ye at all 6684 8800 fast 6684 8804 unto me, [even] to me?

7:6 And when ye did eat 398 8799, and when ye did drink 8354 8799, did not ye eat 398 8802 [for yourselves], and drink 8354 8802 [for yourselves]?(did not ye: or, be not ye they that)

7:7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words 1697 which the LORD 3068 hath cried 7121 8804 by 3027 the former 7223 prophets 5030, when Jerusalem 3389 was inhabited 3427 8802 and in prosperity 7961, and the cities 5892 thereof round about her 5439, when [men] inhabited 3427 8802 the south 5045 and the plain 8219?(Should…: or, Are not these the words)(by: Heb. by the hand of)

7:8 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Zechariah 2148, saying 559 8800,

7:9 Thus speaketh 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, saying 559 8800, Execute 8199 8798 true 571 judgment 4941, and shew 6213 8798 mercy 2617 and compassions 7356 every man 376 to his brother 251:(Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth)

7:10 And oppress 6231 8799 not the widow 490, nor the fatherless 3490, the stranger 1616, nor the poor 6041; and let none of you imagine 2803 8799 evil 7451 against 376 his brother 251 in your heart 3824.

7:11 But they refused 3985 8762 to hearken 7181 8687, and pulled away 5414 8799 5637 8802 the shoulder 3802, and stopped 3513 8689 their ears 241, that they should not hear 8085 8800.(pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder)(stopped: Heb. made heavy)

7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried 7121 8804, and they would not hear 8085 8804; so they cried 7121 8799, and I would not hear 8085 8799, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635:

7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind 5590 8762 among all the nations 1471 whom they knew 3045 8804 not. Thus the land 776 was desolate 8074 8738 after 310 them, that no man passed through 5674 8802 nor returned 7725 8802: for they laid 7760 8799 the pleasant 2532 land 776 desolate 8047.(pleasant…: Heb. land of desire)
