8 And the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying, 9 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Judge with trustworthy justice, and showj steadfast love and compassion ⌊to one another⌋.k 10 You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, and the needy. You must not devise evil in your heart ⌊against one another⌋.’l 11 But they refused to listen, and turnedm a stubborn shoulder and ⌊stopped their ears from listening⌋.n 12 ⌊They made their hearts adamant⌋o in order not to hear the lawp and the words that Yahweh of hosts had sent by his spirit throughq the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of hosts. 13 ‘Thus, just as Ir called and they would not hear, so they will call and I will not hear,’ says Yahweh of hosts. 14 ‘And I scattered them with a wind among all the nations that they had not known; the land was made desolate behind them— no one crossing through it or returning—and they made the desirable lands a desolation.’ ”
