8Then this message came to Zechariah from the Lord:
11“Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.
13“Since they refused to listen when I called to them, I would not listen when they called to me, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
