Zechariah 1:2-4

Living Bible

² The Lord Almighty was very angry with your fathers. ³ But he will turn again and favor you if only you return to him. ⁴ Don’t be like your fathers were! The earlier prophets pled in vain with them to turn from all their evil ways.

“Come, return to me,” the Lord God said. But no, they wouldn’t listen; they paid no attention at all.
