Zechariah 1:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
4 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But they did not hear or heed me, says the Lord. 5 Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live for ever? 6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your ancestors? So they repented and said, ‘The Lord of hosts has dealt with us according to our ways and deeds, just as he planned to do.’

And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 But did not my words(F) and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors?(G)
