Zechariah 1
1. In the eighth <8066> month <2320>, in the second
<8147> year
<8141> of Darius <1867>, came <1961> the word
<1697> of the LORD
<3068> unto Zechariah <2148>, the son <1121> of
Berechiah <1296>,
the son <1121> of Iddo <5714> the prophet <
5030>, saying <0559>,
2 The LORD <3068> hath been sore displeased <7107>
with your
fathers <1>.
3 Therefore say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <3541>
saith <0559>
the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Turn <7725> ye
unto me, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and I
will turn <7725>
unto you, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <
6635>.
4 Be ye not as your fathers <1>, unto whom the former <
7223>
prophets <5030> have cried <7121>, saying <0559>
, Thus <3541>
saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
Turn <7725> ye now
<4994> from your evil <7451> ways <1870>, and
[from] your evil
<7451> doings <4611>: but they did not hear <
8085>, nor <3808>
hearken <7181> unto me, saith <5002> the LORD <
3068>.
5 Your fathers <1>, where <0346> [are] they? and the
prophets
<5030>, do they live <2421> for ever <5769>?
6 But my words <1697> and my statutes <2706>, which
<0834> I
commanded <6680> my servants <5650> the prophets <
5030>, did
they not take <5381> hold <5381> of your fathers <
1>? and they
returned <7725> and said <0559>, Like as the LORD <
3068> of
hosts <6635> thought <2161> to do <6213> unto
us, according to
our ways <1870>, and according to our doings <4611>,
so <3651>
hath he dealt <6213> with us.
7. Upon the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> day <
3117> of the
eleventh month <2320>, which <1931> [is] the month
<2320> Sebat
<7627>, in the second <8147> year <8141> of
Darius <1867>, came
<1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto
Zechariah <2148>,
the son <1121> of Berechiah <1296>, the son <
1121> of Iddo
<5714> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>,
8 I saw <7200> by night <3915>, and behold <
2009> a man <0376>
riding <7392> upon a red <0122> horse <5483>,
and he stood
<5975> among <0996> the myrtle <1918> trees
that [were] in the
bottom <4699>; and behind <0310> him [were there] red
<0122>
horses <5483>, speckled <8320>, and white <3836>
.
9 Then said <0559> I, O my lord <0113>, what <
4100> [are] these
<0428>? And the angel <4397> that talked <1696>
with me said
<0559> unto me, I will shew <7200> thee what <
4100> these <0428>
[be].
10 And the man <0376> that stood <5975> among <
0996> the myrtle
<1918> trees answered <6030> and said <0559>,
These <0428> [are
they] whom <0834> the LORD <3068> hath sent <
7971> to walk
<1980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.
11 And they answered <6030> the angel <4397> of the
LORD <3068>
that stood <5975> among <0996> the myrtle <1918>
trees, and said
<0559>, We have walked <1980> to and fro through the
earth
<0776>, and, behold <2009>, all <3605> the
earth <0776> sitteth
<3427> still, and is at rest <8252>.
12 Then the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> answered
<6030> and
said <0559>, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, how
<5704> long
<5704> wilt thou not have mercy <7355> on Jerusalem
<3389> and
on the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, against which
<0834> thou
hast had indignation <2194> these <2088> threescore
<7657> and
ten years <8141>?
13 And the LORD <3068> answered <6030> the angel <
4397> that
talked <1696> with me [with] good <2896> words <
1697> [and]
comfortable <5150> words <1697>.
14 So the angel <4397> that communed <1696> with me
said <0559>
unto me, Cry <7121> thou, saying <0559>, Thus <
3541> saith
<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; I am
jealous <7065> for
Jerusalem <3389> and for Zion <6726> with a great <
1419>
jealousy <7068>.
15 And I am very sore displeased <7107> with the heathen
<1471>
[that are] at ease <7600>: for I was but a little <
4592>
displeased <7107>, and they helped <5826> forward the
affliction
<7451>.
16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>; I
am returned <7725> to Jerusalem <3389> with mercies
<7356>: my
house <1004> shall be built <1129> in it, saith <
5002> the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, and a line <6957> shall
be stretched
<5186> forth upon Jerusalem <3389>.
17 Cry <7121> yet <5750>, saying <0559>, Thus
<3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; My
cities <5892> through
prosperity <2896> shall yet <5750> be spread <
6327> abroad
<6527>; and the LORD <3068> shall yet <5750>
comfort <5162> Zion
<6726>, and shall yet <5750> choose <0977>
Jerusalem <3389>.
18. Then lifted <5375> I up mine eyes <5869>, and
saw <7200>,
and behold <2009> four <0702> horns <7161>.
19 And I said <0559> unto the angel <4397> that
talked <1696>
with me, What <4100> [be] these <0428>? And he
answered <0559>
me, These <0428> [are] the horns <7161> which <
0834> have
scattered <2219> Judah <3063>, Israel <3478>,
and Jerusalem
<3389>.
20 And the LORD <3068> shewed <7200> me four <
0702> carpenters
<2796>.
21 Then said <0559> I, What <4100> come <0935>
these <0428> to
do <6213>? And he spake <0559>, saying <0559>,
These <0428>
[are] the horns <7161> which <0834> have scattered
<2219> Judah
<3063>, so that no <3808> man <0376> did lift
<5375> up his head
<7218>: but these <0428> are come <0935> to
fray <2729> them, to
cast <3034> out the horns <7161> of the Gentiles <
1471>, which
lifted <5375> up [their] horn <7161> over <0413>
the land <0776>
of Judah <3063> to scatter <2219> it.
Zechariah 2
1. I lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869> again, and
looked <7200>,
and behold <2009> a man <0376> with a measuring <
4060> line
<2256> in his hand <3027>.
2 Then said <0559> I, Whither <0575> goest <
1980> thou? And he
said <0559> unto me, To measure <4058> Jerusalem <
3389>, to see
<7200> what <4100> [is] the breadth <7341>
thereof, and what
<4100> [is] the length <0753> thereof.
3 And, behold <2009>, the angel <4397> that talked
<1696> with
me went <3318> forth <3318>, and another <0312>
angel <4397>
went <3318> out to meet <7125> him,
4 And said <0559> unto him, Run <7323>, speak <
1696> to this
<1975> young <5288> man, saying <0559>,
Jerusalem <3389> shall
be inhabited <3427> [as] towns <6519> without walls
for the
multitude <7230> of men <0120> and cattle <0929>
therein <8432>:
5 For I, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, will be unto
her a wall
<2346> of fire <0784> round <5439> about, and
will be the glory
<3519> in the midst <8432> of her.
6. Ho <1945>, ho <1945>, [come forth], and flee <
5127> from the
land <0776> of the north <6828>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>:
for I have spread <6566> you abroad <6566> as the
four <0702>
winds <7307> of the heaven <8064>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>.
7 Deliver <4422> thyself, O Zion <6726>, that
dwellest <3427>
[with] the daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>.
8 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
of hosts <6635>;
After <0310> the glory <3519> hath he sent <
7971> me unto the
nations <1471> which spoiled <7997> you: for he that
toucheth
<5060> you toucheth <5060> the apple <0892> of
his eye <5869>.
9 For, behold <2005>, I will shake <5130> mine hand
<3027> upon
them, and they shall be a spoil <7998> to their servants
<5647>:
and ye shall know <3045> that the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>
hath sent <7971> me.
10. Sing <7442> and rejoice <8055>, O daughter <
1323> of Zion
<6726>: for, lo, I come <0935>, and I will dwell <
7931> in the
midst <8432> of thee, saith <5002> the LORD <
3068>.
11 And many <7227> nations <1471> shall be joined
<3867> to the
LORD <3068> in that day <3117>, and shall be my
people <5971>:
and I will dwell <7931> in the midst <8432> of thee,
and thou
shalt know <3045> that the LORD <3068> of hosts <
6635> hath sent
<7971> me unto thee.
12 And the LORD <3068> shall inherit <5157> Judah
<3063> his
portion <2506> in the holy <6944> land <0127>,
and shall choose
<0977> Jerusalem <3389> again <5750>.
13 Be silent <2013>, O all <3605> flesh <1320>,
before <6440>
the LORD <3068>: for he is raised <5782> up out of
his holy
<6944> habitation <4583>.
