Zechariah 1:4-6

English Standard Version Anglicised

^4 (A)Do not be like your fathers, ^(B)to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^(C)Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^(D)they did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. ⁵ Your fathers, where are they? And ^(E)the prophets, do they live for ever? ^6 (F)But my words and my statutes, which I commanded ^(G)my servants the prophets, did they not ^(H)overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, ^(I)As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for ^(J)our ways and ^(K)deeds, so has he dealt with us.”
