Zechariah 7:8-12

Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,

“This is what the Lord of armies has said: ‘Dispense true justice and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother;

and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’

But they refused to pay attention, and turned a stubborn shoulder and plugged their ears from hearing.

They also made their hearts as hard as a diamond so that they could not hear the Law and the words which the Lord of armies had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from the Lord of armies.
