Zechariah 7:2

Obedience Better than Fasting

1 Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, Chislev,

2 when¹ the people sent Sherezer, with Regem-Melech and his men, to the house of God,⁴ to pray before the Lord,

3 and to ^aask the priests who were in the house of the Lord of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in ^bthe fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?”

4 Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

5 “Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: ‘When you ^afasted and mourned in the fifth ^band seventh months ^cduring those seventy years, did you really fast ^dfor Me—for Me?
