「萬軍之耶和華曾對你們的列祖如此說：『要按至理判斷，各人以慈愛憐憫弟兄。 不可欺壓寡婦、孤兒、寄居的，和貧窮人。誰都不可心裏謀害弟兄。』」 他們卻不肯聽從，扭轉肩頭，塞耳不聽， 撒迦利亞書 7:9-11
‘The Lord Almighty has said, “Be sure that you are fair to all people. Be kind to each other. Be kind to a woman after the death of her husband. Be kind to a child after the death of his father. Be kind to strangers and to poor people. Do not think bad thoughts against your brother.” But the people would not listen and they turned away. They put their hands over their ears, because they did not want to hear. Zechariah 7:9-11
