Zechariah 7:13-14

New International Reader's Version

¹³ “When I called, they did not listen,” says the Lord. “So when they called, I would not listen. ¹⁴ I used a windstorm to scatter them among all the nations. They were strangers there. The land they left behind became dry and empty. No one could even travel through it. This is how they turned the pleasant land into a dry and empty desert.”
