Zechariah 7:9
Compare all
7 Should you not have obeyed the words which the Lord proclaimed through the aformer prophets when Jerusalem and the cities around it were inhabited and prosperous, and bthe South and the Lowland were inhabited?’ ”  

Disobedience Resulted in Captivity

8 Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
9 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
a‘Execute true justice,
Show1 mercy and compassion
Everyone to his brother. 
10 aDo not oppress the widow or the fatherless,
The alien or the poor.
bLet none of you plan evil in his heart
Against his brother.’  
11 “But they refused to heed, ashrugged their shoulders, and bstopped their ears so that they could not hear.  
12 Yes, they made their ahearts like flint, brefusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. cThus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.

Zechariah 7:8-11

Please turn with me to Zechariah 7, verse 8. Human nature tends to be partial and unfair, leading to harsh judgments against those it dislikes. The Word of God makes no exceptions. True justice must be merciful and compassionate.

So here we see that God commands everyone to practice true justice with mercy and compassion. Judgment must be tempered with mercy for true justice to prevail.
