In the second year of Darius, in the eighth month, the word of Yahweh was addressed to the prophet Zechariah (son of Berechiah), son of Iddo, as follows, Yahweh was deeply angry with your ancestors. So say this to them, "Yahweh Sabaoth says this: Return to me -- Yahweh Sabaoth declares -- and I will return to you, says Yahweh Sabaoth. Do not be like your ancestors when the prophets in the past cried to them: Yahweh Sabaoth says this: Turn Back from your evil ways and evil deeds -- they would not listen or pay attention to me -- Yahweh declares. Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live for ever? But did not my words and statutes, with which I had charged my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors just the same?" ' So they repented and said, 'Yahweh Sabaoth has treated us as he resolved to do, and as our ways and deeds deserved.'
