Zechariah 1:2-4

Common English Bible

² The Lord was terribly angry with your ancestors.
³ But you must say to the people,
    The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims: Return to me,
    says the Lord of heavenly forces,
        and I will return to you, says the Lord of heavenly forces.
⁴ Don’t be like your ancestors to whom the former prophets preached:
    The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims: Turn from your evil ways and your evil deeds.
        But they didn’t listen;
            they didn’t draw near to me.
