Contextual Overview
8The word of the Lord came to Zechariah: 9“The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Make fair decisions. Show faithful love and compassion to one another. 10Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the resident alien or the poor, and do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’ 11But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear. 12They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the Lord of Armies had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore intense anger came from the Lord of Armies. 13Just as he had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen, says the Lord of Armies. 14I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation.”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried,.... The Lord by the former prophets called them to repentance and obedience:
and they would not hear; his words, nor obey his voice:
so they cried: when they were besieged in Jerusalem, and were carried captive into Babylon:
and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts; so as to deliver them out of the hands of their enemies; see Proverbs 1:24.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass - that is, this which God had said, âAs He cried and they heard not, so shall they cry and I will not hear, saith the Lord of hosts.â God had often said this. âIt shall be too late to cry for mercy, when it is the time of justice.â So Wisdom had said by Solomon; âthen, that is, when distress and anguish cometh upon them, they shall call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, and they shall not find Meâ Proverbs 1:27-28. So by Isaiah, âWhen ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of bloodsâ Isaiah 1:15. So by Hosea, Hosea 5:6, by Micah Micah 3:4, by Jeremiah Jeremiah 11:14; Jeremiah 14:12. It was one message which was verilied in every day of chastisement, âthere will be a âtoo late;ââ not a final âtoo late,â until the end of ends comes, but a âtoo lateâ for them, a âtoo lateâ to avert that particular judgment of God, whereby the sinnerâs earthly trial and future were changed permanently .
