4 Then the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying, 5 “Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months [a]these (A)seventy years, was it actually for (B)Me that you fasted? 6 And when you eat and when you drink, [b]are you not eating for yourselves and are you not drinking for yourselves? 7 Are not these the words which Yahweh (C)called out by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and (D)at ease along with its cities around it, and the [c](E)Negev and the [d]Shephelah were inhabited?’”

4 Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me: 5 “Say to all the people of the land and the priests: When you fasted and lamented in the fifth month and in the seventh for these seventy years, was it for me that you fasted?(A) 6 And when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat and drink only for yourselves? 7 Were not these the words that the Lord proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, along with the towns around it, and when the Negeb and the Shephelah were inhabited?”
