Zechariah 7:12

Disobedience And Fasting

¹¹ But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear. ¹² They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the Lord of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the Lord of Hosts. ¹³ Just as He had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen,” says the Lord of Hosts.
