Zechariah 7:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger nor the poor, and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 But they refused to hearken, and [a]pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the Law and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in his [b]Spirit by the ministry of the former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.
