Zechariah 7:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ And when you were eating and drinking, weren’t you just enjoying good food for yourselves? ⁷ Didn’t I tell you the same thing through the earlier prophets? That was when Jerusalem and the towns around it were at rest and enjoyed success. People lived in the Negev Desert and the western hills at that time.’ ”

⁸ Another message from the Lord came to me.
