Chap. VII.
note
The fast of the fift and seuenth moneth obserued in the captiuitie, being
good, 5. was vnperfect, 8. fasting from sinne is alwayes more necessarie.
1 And it came to passe in the fourth yeare of Darius the
king, the word of our Lord was made to Zacharie, in
the fourth of the ninth moneth, which is Casleu.
2 And Sarasar,
and Rogommelech, and the men that were with him, sent to the house of God, to besech the face of our Lord:
3 that they
should say to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and
to the prophets, saying: Must I weepe in note the fifth moneth,
or must I sanctifie myself as now I haue done manie yeares?
4 And the word of the Lord of hosts was made to me, saying:
5 Speake to al the people of the land, and to the priests, saying:
When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seuenth for
these seuentie yeares: note did you fast a fast vnto me?
6 and
-- --
when you did eate and drinke, did you not eate for your selues,
and drinke for your selues?
7 Why, are they not the wordes,
which our Lord spake in the hand of the former prophets,
when Ierusalem as yet was inhabited, and was welthie, it self
and the cities round about it, and toward the South, and in the
champine there was dwelling?
8 And the word of our Lord
was made to Zacharie, saying:
9 Thus sayth the Lord of hosts,
saying: note Iudge ye true Iudgement, and doe ye mercie, & miserations
euerie man with his brother.
10 And the widow, and
the pupil, and the stranger, and the poore doe not calumniate:
and let not a man thinke in his hart euil to his brother.
11 And
they would not attend, and they turned away the shoulder departing:
and they aggrauated their eares, not to heare.
12 And
they made their hart as the adamant, lest they should heare the
law, & the wordes which the Lord sent in his spirit by the hand
of the former prophetes: and there was great indignation
made from the Lord of hosts.
13 And it came to passe as he
spake, and they heard not: so shal they crie, & I wil not heare,
sayth the Lord of hosts.
14 And I dispersed them through out
al kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate
of them, for that there was none passing & returning:
and the land to be desired they layd into a desert.
