Zechariah 7:13

Disobedience And Fasting

¹² They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the Lord of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the Lord of Hosts. ¹³ Just as He had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen,” says the Lord of Hosts. ¹⁴ “I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation.”
