Zechariah 7:11-14

International Standard Version

¹¹ But they refused to pay attention, turned their backs, and stopped listening. ¹² They made their hearts hard like a diamond, to keep from obeying the Law and the messages that the Lord of the Heavenly Armies sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. ¹³ Therefore, just as when I^[a] cried out and they would not listen, so also they will cry out, and I will not listen,’ says the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. ¹⁴ ‘I will scatter them to all of the nations, which they have not known.’”

Now the earth was left desolate after them. As a result, no one came or went because they had turned a pleasant land into a desert.
