” The Lord was very angry with your forefathers. Therefore
tell the people: this is what the Lord Almighty says:
‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, “and I will
return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty.
Zechariah 1:2,3
But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded
my servants the prophets, overtake your forefathers? “Then
they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to use
what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’ ”
Zechariah 1:6
