New English Translation
19 The Lord sent prophets among them to lead them back to him.[a] They warned[b] the people, but they would not pay attention. 20 God’s Spirit energized[c] Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you violating the commands of the Lord? You will not be prosperous. Because you have rejected the Lord, he has rejected you!’” 21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple.
