Zechariah 7:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 Then the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying, 5 “Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, ‘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 drink, [b]do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? 7 Are these not the words which the Lord (C)proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and (D)carefree along with its cities around it, and the [c](E)Negev and the [d]foothills were inhabited?’”

4 Then the word of the Lord of Hosts came to me: 5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests: When you fasted and lamented in the fifth and in the seventh months for these 70 years, did you really fast for Me?(A) 6 When you eat and drink, don’t you eat and drink simply for yourselves?(B) 7 Aren’t these the words that the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and secure,[a] along with its surrounding cities, and when the southern region and the Judean foothills were inhabited?”
