Zechariah 7:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ And when you ate and drank, was that for me? No, it was for your own good. ⁷ The Lord used the earlier prophets to say the same thing long ago. That was when Jerusalem was still a rich city filled with people and there were still people living in the surrounding towns, in the Negev, and in the western foothills.’”
