Zechariah 7:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² and made their hearts as hard as rock. Because they would not listen to the teaching which I sent through the prophets who lived long ago, I became very angry. ¹³ Because they did not listen when I spoke, I did not answer when they prayed. ¹⁴ Like a storm I swept them away to live in foreign countries. This good land was left a desolate place, with no one living in it.”
