Zechariah 7:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Don’t oppress the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the poor; don’t plan evil against each other! ¹¹ But they refused to pay attention. They turned a cold shoulder and stopped listening.

¹² They steeled their hearts against hearing the Instruction and the words that the Lord of heavenly forces sent by his spirit through the earlier prophets. As a result, the Lord of heavenly forces became enraged.
