Zechariah 7:11-14
English Standard Version
11 But (A)they refused to pay attention (B)and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear.[a] 12 (C)They made their hearts diamond-hard (D)lest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent (E)by his Spirit through (F)the former prophets. (G)Therefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13 (H)“As I[b] called, and they would not hear, (I)so they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts, 14 (J)“and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all (K)the nations that they had not known. (L)Thus the land they left was desolate, (M)so that no one went to and fro, (N)and the pleasant land was made desolate.”

Zechariah 7:11-14
International Standard Version
11 But they refused to pay attention, turned their backs, and stopped listening. 12 They made their hearts hard like a diamond, to keep from obeying the Law and the messages that the Lord of the Heavenly Armies sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. 13 Therefore, just as when I[a] cried out and they would not listen, so also they will cry out, and I will not listen,’ says the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. 14 ‘I will scatter them to all of the nations, which they have not known.’”
Now the earth was left desolate after them. As a result, no one came or went because they had turned a pleasant land into a desert.
