And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of Jehovah, so that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken Jehovah, he hath also forsaken you.

Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up.

Και περιεχυθη το Πνευμα του Θεου επι Ζαχαριαν τον υιον του Ιωδαε του ιερεως, και σταθεις επανωθεν του λαου, ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει ο Θεος· Δια τι παραβαινετε σεις τας εντολας του Κυριου; δεν θελετε βεβαιως ευοδωθη· επειδη σεις εγκατελιπετε τον Κυριον, και αυτος εγκατελιπεν εσας.

And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
