3 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return ato Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.

b‘Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us,
According to our ways and according to our deeds,
So He has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”

Zechariah 1:5

Your fathers . . . and the prophets, do they live for ever?—In contrast to "My words" (Zechariah 1:6), which "endure for ever" (I Peter 1:25). "Your fathers have perished, as was foretold; and their fate ought to warn you. But you may say, The prophets too are dead. I grant it, but still My words do not die: though dead, their prophetical words from Me, fulfilled against your fathers, are not dead with them. Beware, then, lest ye share their fate."
