Zechariah 1:6
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

Study Note
The early post-exilic context of Zechariah (520 BCE) makes the summary of pre-exilic history — 'my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your ancestors?' — a retrospective confirmation of prophetic truthfulness after the fact. The returned exiles' acknowledgment 'The LORD Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve' models the deuteronomistic hermeneutic that the exile was not divine failure but covenant consequence. The verse is part of the introductory call to repentance (1:1-6) that frames all the visions that follow, insisting that the visions of hope are received by a community that has genuinely returned to God. Historically, the passage documents a hermeneutical community using its own past as theological instruction.
