The word of the Lord came to Zechariah:
We have not obeyed your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our ancestors, and all the people of the land.
On hearing this, Moses was satisfied.
Are these not the words which the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding cities were inhabited and secure, when the Negeb and the Shephelah were inhabited?
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Judge with true justice, and show kindness and compassion toward each other.
