Zechariah 7:11American Standard Version 2015But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. See the chapter |
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and forsookest them not.
{\b For this people's heart is waxed gross,\par\tab And their ears are dull of hearing,\par\tab And their eyes they have closed;\par\tab Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes,\par\tab And hear with their ears,\par\tab And understand with their heart,\par\tab And should turn again,\par\tab And I would heal them.}
