| 1 | It happened in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, even in Chislev. | Zc 1:1 Ezr 6:14 Ezr 6:15 Hg 2:10 Hg 2:20 |
| 2 | Now [they of] Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Yahweh, | Zc 6:10 Ezr 6:10 Ezr 7:15-23 Ezr 8:28-30 Isa 60:7 |
| 3 | [and] to speak to the priests of the house of Yahweh of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years? | Dt 17:9-11 Dt 33:10 Ezk 44:23 Ezk 44:24 Hos 4:6 Hg 2:11 Mal 2:7 |
| 4 | Then came the word of Yahweh of Hosts to me, saying, | Isa 10:16 |
| 5 | Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, even to me? | Isa 58:5 |
| 6 | When you eat, and when you drink, do not you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? | Dt 12:7 Dt 14:26 1Sa 16:7 1Ch 29:22 Jer 17:9 Jer 17:10 Hos 8:13 Hos 9:4 1Co 10:31 1Co 11:20 1Co 11:21 1Co 11:26-29 Col 3:17 |
| 7 | [Should you] not [hear] the words which Yahweh cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities of it round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited? | Isa 55:3 Isa 55:6 Isa 55:7 |
| 8 | The word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying, |
| 9 | Thus has Yahweh of Hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother; | Zc 7:7 Zc 8:16 Zc 8:17 Lv 19:15 Lv 19:35-37 Dt 10:18 Dt 10:19 Dt 15:7-14 Dt 16:18-20 Ps 82:2-4 Pr 21:3 Isa 58:6-10 Jer 7:5 Jer 7:23 Ezk 45:9 Hos 10:12 Hos 10:13 Am 5:24 Mic 6:8 Mt 23:23 Lk 11:42 Jm 2:13-17 |
| 10 | and don`t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart. | Ex 22:21-24 Ex 23:9 Dt 24:14-18 Dt 27:19 Ps 72:4 Pr 22:22 Pr 22:23 Pr 23:10 Pr 23:11 Isa 1:16 Isa 1:17 Isa 1:23 Jer 5:28 Jer 22:15-17 Ezk 22:7 Ezk 22:12 Ezk 22:29 Am 4:1 Am 5:11 Am 5:12 Mic 2:1-3 Mic 3:1-4 Zep 3:1-3 Mal 3:5 Mt 23:14 1Co 6:10 Jm 5:4 |
| 11 | But they refused to listen, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. | Zc 1:4 Ex 10:3 2Ki 17:13-15 2Ch 33:10 Ne 9:17 Ne 9:26 Ne 9:29 Pr 1:24-32 Isa 1:19 Isa 1:20 Jer 6:16 Jer 6:17 Jer 7:24 Jer 13:10 Jer 26:5 Jer 26:6 Jer 35:15 Jer 36:31 Jer 44:16 Ezk 3:7 Hos 4:16 Dn 9:5 Zep 3:2 Ac 7:51 Heb 12:25 |
| 12 | Yes, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore there came great wrath from Yahweh of Hosts. | Ne 9:29 Jb 9:4 Isa 48:4 Jer 5:3 Ezk 2:4 Ezk 3:7-9 Ezk 11:19 Ezk 36:26 |
| 13 | It is come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Yahweh of Hosts; | Ps 81:8-12 Pr 1:24-28 Isa 50:2 Jer 6:16 Jer 6:17 Lk 13:34 Lk 13:35 Lk 19:42-44 |
| 14 | but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate. | Zc 2:6 Zc 9:14 Lv 26:33 Dt 4:27 Dt 28:33 Dt 28:64 Ps 58:9 Isa 17:13 Isa 21:1 Isa 66:15 Jer 4:11 Jer 4:12 Jer 23:19 Jer 25:32 Jer 25:33 Jer 30:23 Jer 36:19 Am 1:14 Nah 1:3 Hab 3:14 |
