Zechariah 1:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Don’t be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed: ‘This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: “It’s time to turn from your evil lifestyles[a] and from your evil actions,” ‘but they would neither listen nor pay attention to me,’” declares the Lord.’ 5 “Your ancestors—where are they? And the prophets—do they live forever? 6 But my words and my statutes that I gave as commands to my servants the prophets—did they not overwhelm your ancestors? And they returned to me:[b] ‘The Lord of the Heavenly Armies acted toward us just as he planned to do—in keeping with our lifestyles[c] and in keeping with our actions.’”
