The VII. Chapter.
A It happened also in the fourth yeare
of kynge Darius, that the worde of
the LORDE came vnto Zachary in
the fourth daye of the ix. moneth, which is
calleth Casleu: what tyme as Sarasar and
Rogomelech and the men that were with
them, sent vnto Bethel for to praye before þe;
LORDE: and that they shulde saye vnto the
prestes, which were in the house of the LORDE
of hoostes, and to the prophetes: note Shulde
I wepe in the fyfte moneth, and absteyne,
as I haue done now certayne yeares?
Then came the worde of the LORDE of hoostes
vnto me, sayenge: Speake vnto all the
people of the londe, and to the prestes, and
saye: note when ye fasted and mourned in the v ∧
vij. moneth (now this lxx. yeares) dyd ye fast
vnto me? When ye ate also and dronke, dyd
ye not eate and drinke for youre owne selues?
Are not these the wordes, which the LORDE
spake by his prophetes afore tyme, when
Ierusalem was yet inhabited and welthy,
she and the cities rounde aboute her: when
there dwelt m&ebar;, both towarde the south and
in the playne countrees?
B And the worde of the LORDE came vnto
Zachary, sayenge: Thus saieth þe; LORDE
of hoostes: Execute true iudgment: shewe
mercy and louynge kyndnesse, note euery man to
his brother: note Do the wyddowe, the fatherlesse,
the straunger, and poore no wronge: and
let no man ymagen euell agaynst his brother
in his hert. noteNeuertheles they wolde not
take hede, but turned their backes, and stopped
their eares, that they shulde not heare.
yee they made their hertes as an Adamant
stone, lest they shulde heare the lawe ∧ wordes,
note which the LORDE of hoostes sent in his
holy sprete by the prophetes afore tyme.
Wherfore the LORDE of hoostes was very
wroth at them. And thus is it come to passe,
note that like as he spake and they wolde not
heare: euen so they cried, and I wolde not
heare (saieth the LORDE of hoostes) but scatered
them amonge all Gentiles, whom they
knewe not. Thus the londe was made so desolate,
þt; there traualed no man in it nether
to ner fro, for that pleasaunt londe was vtterly
layed waist.
