But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Pero ellos se negaron rotundamente a escuchar. Le dieron la espalda, se taparon los oídos, e hicieron todo lo posible para evitar oír lo que Dios estaba diciendo.
El pueblo rechazó completamente escuchar la palabra de Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Zechariah, written after the Babylonian exile around 520 BC, the prophet is warning the returned Jewish community about the dangers of repeating their ancestors' errors, as they inquire about fasting practices. The ancestors of the Jews, during the time of earlier prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah, had consistently rejected God's calls for justice and repentance, leading to their exile and suffering. This verse specifically describes their stubborn defiance, illustrating how their refusal to listen contributed to national downfall.
