Zechariah 7:9 Context
7Should yee not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cried by the former Prophets, when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the South of the plaine? 8¶ And the word of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying; 9Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shew mercie and compassions euery man to his brother. 10And oppresse not the widow, nor the fatherlesse, the stranger, nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euill against his brother in your heart. 11But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
