Read Zechariah 7.8-11
By responding to a question about mourning rituals (v. 3) with a charge to create a just society, Zechariah appears to side with his predecessors, the former prophets (v. 7), who claimed that religious rituals were meaningless apart from the practice of justice in all areas of life (Am 5.21-24).
This same concern is also present in Zechariah's sixth and seventh visions (5.1-11).
Throughout this speech Zechariah uses his ancestors who disobeyed as a lesson for his own audience.
