Study Note
'But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear' — the historical review of pre-exilic Israel's covenant failure in Zechariah 7:8–14 employs three physical images of willful non-reception: averted posture, covered ears, and (verse 12) an 'adamantine heart.' The three refusals parallel Jeremiah's repeated description of Israel as 'stiff-necked' and echo the covenant lawsuit genre of the prophets (Isaiah 1:2–4; Amos 4:6–11). The 'stubborn shoulder' (kataph sorerot, literally 'a shoulder of stubbornness/rebellion') may allude to an ox refusing to accept the yoke — a physical image for resistance to divine direction. The post-exilic audience's question about fasting (7:1–3) is answered by this recital: before asking about ritual observance, consider whether the justice and mercy YHWH requires (7:9) are being practiced.
