Zechariah 7:11-14
Modern English Version
11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears so that they should not hear. 12 They made their hearts hard like a diamond so as not to hear the instruction and words that the Lord of Hosts sent by His Spirit through the former prophets, and there was great anger from the Lord of Hosts.
13 Therefore it happened that as I called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear, says the Lord of Hosts. 14 So I scattered them about among all the nations whom they did not know, so the land was left desolate behind them with no one coming or going. And they made a desirable land desolate.

Zechariah 7:11-14
New King James Version
11 “But they refused to heed, (A)shrugged[a] their shoulders, and (B)stopped[b] their ears so that they could not hear. 12 Yes, they made their (C)hearts like flint, (D)refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. (E)Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. 13 Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so (F)they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts. 14 “But (G)I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
