Zacharias 1:6
But yet my words, and my ordinances, which I gave in charge to my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers, and they returned, and said: As the Lord of hosts thought to do to us according to our ways, and according to our devices, so he hath done to us.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Verumtamen verba mea, et legitima mea, quæ mandavi servis meis prophetis, numquid non comprehenderunt patres vestros, et conversi sunt, et dixerunt : Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis secundum vias nostras, et secundum adinventiones nostras, fecit nobis ?

- πλὴν τοὺς λόγους μου καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου δέχεσθε, ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ἐν πνεύματί μου τοῖς δούλοις μου τοῖς προφήταις, οἳ κατελάβοσαν τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν Καθὼς παρατέτακται Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἡμῖν κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ἡμῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἑπιτηδεύματα ἡμῶν, οὕτως ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν.

The Fathers on this verse
St Cyril of Jerusalem On the Article, And in One Holy Ghost, the Comforter, Which Spake in the Prophets
29. And if further a man peruse all the books of the Prophets, both of the Twelve, and of the others, he will find many testimonies concerning. the Holy Ghost; as when Micah says in the person of God, surely I will perfect power by the Spirit the Lord ; and Joel cries, And it shall come to pass afterwards , saith God, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh , and the rest; and Haggai, Because I am with you, saith the Lord of Hosts ; and My Spirit remaineth in the midst of you ; and in like manner Zechariah, But receive My words and My statutes which I command by My Spirit, to My servants the Prophets ; and other passages.
