Zechariah 7:11-14

11 But they ^arefused to pay attention, and ^{▼▼Lit gave
,} ^cturned a stubborn shoulder and ^{▼▼Lit made their ears heavy
,} ^eplugged their ears from hearing. 12 They also made their ^fhearts as hard as ^ga diamond ^{▼▼Lit from hearing}so that they could not hear the Law and the ⁱwords which the Lord of armies had sent by His Spirit through the ^jformer prophets; therefore great ^kwrath came from the Lord of armies. 13 And just as ^lHe called and they would not listen, so ^mthey called and I would not listen,” says the Lord of armies; 14 “but I ^{▼▼Lit stormed them away upon all
,} ^oscattered them with a ^pstorm wind among all the nations whom they did not know. So the land was ^qdesolated behind them ^{▼▼Lit from passing and from returning}so that ^sno one went back and forth, since they ^tmade the pleasant land desolate.”
