New King James Version (NKJV)
Zechariah 7
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
9 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother.
10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.’
11 "But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.
12 Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.
13 Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen," says the Lord of hosts.
14 "But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate."
Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying,
2 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; With great fervor I am zealous for her.’
3 "Thus says the Lord: ’I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the Lord of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’
4 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’Old men and old women shall again sit In the streets of Jerusalem, Each one with his staff in his hand Because of great age.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
