Zechariah 7:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ Do not cheat widows or children who have no family. Do not cheat foreigners or poor people. Do not think secretly of ways to hurt each other.”

¹¹ But the people would not listen and they turned away. They put their hands over their ears, because they did not want to hear. ¹² They decided that they would not listen to God's rules or to the messages from the prophets. But the Lord Almighty had sent those messages by His Spirit. So I, the Lord Almighty, was very angry.
