Zechariah 1:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Your ancestors are dead, and those prophets didn’t live forever. ⁶ I commanded my words and laws to my servants the prophets, and they preached to your ancestors, who returned to me. They said, ‘The Lord All-Powerful did as he said he would. He punished us for the way we lived and for what we did.’”

The Vision of the Horses

⁷ It was on the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in Darius’s second year as king. The Lord spoke his word to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, who was the son of Iddo.
