Prophetia Zachariae

Zachariae, chapter 7, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 7 Vulgate

   1 Et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam in quarta mensis noni, qui est Casleu.
   2 Et Bethel miserat Sarasar et Regemmelech et viros, qui erant cum eo, ad deprecandam faciem Domini,
   3 ut dicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum et prophetis loquentes: "Numquid flendum est mihi in quinto mense vel ieiunandum, sicut iam feci multis annis?".
   4 Et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens:
   5 "Loquere ad omnem populum terrae et ad sacerdotes dicens: Cum ieiunaretis et plangeretis in quinto et septimo mense per hos septuaginta annos, numquid revera ieiunastis mihi?
   6 Et cum comedistis et bibistis, numquid non vobis comedistis et vobismetipsis bibistis?
   7 Numquid non sunt verba, quae locutus est Dominus in manu prophetarum priorum, cum adhuc Ierusalem habitaretur et esset opulenta, ipsa et urbes in circuitu eius, et Nageb habitaretur simul cum Sephela?".
   8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam dicens:
   9 "Haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens: Iudicium verum iudicate et misericordiam et miserationes facite unusquisque cum fratre suo;
   10 et viduam et pupillum et advenam et pauperem nolite calumniari, et malum unusquisque contra fratrem suum nolite cogitare in corde vestro.
   11 Et noluerunt attendere; et opposuerunt dorsum rebelle et aures suas aggravaverunt, ne audirent.
   12 Et cor suum posuerunt adamantem, ne audirent legem et verba, quae misit Dominus exercituum in spiritu suo per manum prophetarum priorum, et facta est indignatio magna a Domino exercituum.
   13 Et factum est, sicut cum clamaret, et ipsi non audierunt, sic clamabunt, et non exaudiam, dicit Dominus exercituum.
   14 Et disperdam eos per omnes gentes, quas nesciunt; et terra desolata est post eos, ita ut non esset transiens et revertens. Et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum".

King James Version

   1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
   2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
   3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
   4 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
   5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
   6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
   7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
   8 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
   9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
   10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
   11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
   12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
   13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
   14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
