The Spirit of God enveloped , Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God says, ‘Why are you transgressing the Lord’s commands so that you do not prosper? Because you have abandoned the Lord, he has abandoned you.’ ”
He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him #— #this is the Lord’s declaration. For you will fight the Chaldeans, but you will not succeed.’ ”
Moreover, you will be led out from here with your hands on your head since the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not succeed even with their help.
