Zechariah 7:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy each to his brother, ¹⁰ do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.” ¹¹ But they refused to hearken, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears that they might not hear.
