Zechariah 1:4-5

New International Version

⁴ Do not be like your ancestors,^(A) to whom the earlier prophets^(B) proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways^(C) and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me,^(D) declares the Lord.^{(E) 5} Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever?
