Zechariah 7:8-10

Good News Translation

Disobedience, the Cause of Exile

⁸ The Lord gave this message to Zechariah: ⁹ “Long ago I gave these commands to my people: ‘You must see that justice is done, and must show kindness and mercy to one another. ¹⁰ Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners who live among you, or anyone else in need. And do not plan ways of harming one another.’
