1 Potom četvrte godine cara Darija dođe reč Gospodnja Zahariji četvrtog dana devetog meseca, Hasleva, 2 kad poslaše u dom Božji Sarasara i Regemeleha i ljude svoje da mole Gospoda, 3 i da govore sveštenicima, koji behu u domu Gospoda nad vojskama, i prorocima, i kažu: Hoćemo li plakati petog meseca odvajajući se, kako činismo već toliko godina? 4 I dođe mi reč Gospodnja Govoreći: 5 Kaži svemu narodu zemaljskom i sveštenicima, i reci: Kad postiste i tužiste petog i sedmog meseca za sedamdeset godina, eda li meni postiste? 6 A kad jedete i pijete, ne jedete li i ne pijete li sami? 7 Nisu li to reči koje je Gospod proglasio preko pređašnjih proroka, kad Jerusalim beše naseljen i miran i gradovi njegovi oko njega, i kad beše naseljen južni kraj i ravnica? 8 Dođe reč Gospodnja Zahariji govoreći: 9 Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: Sudite pravo i budite milostivi i žalostivi jedan drugom. 10 I ne činite krivo udovici ni siroti, inostrancu ni siromahu, i ne mislite zlo jedan drugom u srcu svom. 11 Ali ne hteše slušati, i uzmakoše ramenom natrag, i zatiskoše uši svoje da ne čuju. 12 I srcem svojim otvrdnuše kao dijamant da ne čuju zakon i reči koje sla Gospod nad vojskama duhom svojim preko proroka pređašnjih; zato dođe velik gnev od Gospoda nad vojskama. 13 Zato kao što On vika, a oni ne slušaše, tako i oni vikaše a ja ih ne slušah, govori Gospod nad vojskama. 14 Nego ih razmetnuh vihorom po svim narodima, kojih ne poznavaše, i zemlja opuste iza njih da niko u nju ne dohođaše niti se iz nje vraćaše, i obratiše milu zemlju u pustoš.

How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

And again: "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile; depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, …
