ZEC-1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came
the word of

the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo
the prophet,

saying,

ZEC-1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

ZEC-1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; Turn ye

unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you,
saith the LORD of

hosts.

ZEC-1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former
prophets have cried,

saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil
ways, and

[from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto
me, saith the

LORD.

ZEC-1:5 Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do
they live for

ever?

ZEC-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.

ZEC-1:7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month,
which [is] the

month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the
LORD unto

Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet,
saying,

ZEC-1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red
horse, and he

stood among the myrtle trees that [were] in the bottom; and
behind him [were

there] red horses, speckled, and white.

ZEC-1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel
that talked

with me said unto me, I will show thee what these [be].

ZEC-1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered
and said,

These [are they] whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro
through the earth.



ZEC-1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood
among the myrtle

trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth,
and, behold, all

the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

ZEC-1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD
of hosts, how

long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of
Judah, against

which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

ZEC-1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me
[with] good

words [and] comfortable words.

ZEC-1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry
thou, saying,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for
Zion with a

great jealousy.

ZEC-1:15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen [that
are] at ease:

for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the
affliction.

ZEC-1:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to
Jerusalem with

mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts,
and a line

shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

ZEC-1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My
cities through

prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet
comfort Zion,

and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

ZEC-1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
horns.

ZEC-1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What
[be] these? And

he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah,
Israel, and

Jerusalem.

ZEC-1:20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.

ZEC-1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake,
saying, These

[are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did
lift up his

head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of
the Gentiles,

which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter
it.

ZEC-2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a
man with a

measuring line in his hand.

ZEC-2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me,
To measure

Jerusalem, to see what [is] the breadth thereof, and what [is]
the length

thereof.

ZEC-2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth,
and another

angel went out to meet him,

ZEC-2:4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying,
Jerusalem

shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of
men and

cattle therein:

ZEC-2:5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire
round about,

and will be the glory in the midst of her.

ZEC-2:6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the
north, saith the

LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
heaven, saith the

LORD.

ZEC-2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the
daughter of

Babylon.

ZEC-2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath
he sent me

unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you
toucheth the

apple of his eye.

ZEC-2:9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they
shall be a

spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of
hosts hath sent

me.

ZEC-2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come,
and I will

dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

ZEC-2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that
day, and shall

be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou
shalt know that

the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

ZEC-2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the
holy land, and

shall choose Jerusalem again.

ZEC-2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is
raised up out of

his holy habitation.

ZEC-3:1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before
the angel of

the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

ZEC-3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O
Satan; even the

LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a
brand plucked out

of the fire?

ZEC-3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
before the

angel.

ZEC-3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before
him, saying,

Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said,
Behold, I have

caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee
with change of

raiment.

ZEC-3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So
they set a

fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the
angel of the

LORD stood by.

ZEC-3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,

ZEC-3:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my
ways, and if

thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house,
and shalt also

keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these
that stand by.



ZEC-3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy
fellows that sit

before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will
bring forth

my servant the BRANCH.

ZEC-3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua;
upon one stone

[shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving
thereof, saith the

LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in
one day.

ZEC-3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call
every man his

neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.

ZEC-4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked
me, as a man

that is wakened out of his sleep,

ZEC-4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have
looked, and

behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of
it, and his

seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which
[are] upon the

top thereof:

ZEC-4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of
the bowl, and

the other upon the left [side] thereof.

ZEC-4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with
me, saying,

What [are] these, my lord?

ZEC-4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said
unto me, Knowest

thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

ZEC-4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is]
the word of the

LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by
my spirit,

saith the LORD of hosts.

ZEC-4:7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel
[thou shalt

become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof
with]

shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.

ZEC-4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ZEC-4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of
this house; his

hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of
hosts hath

sent me unto you.

ZEC-4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for
they shall

rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel
[with] those

seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro
through the whole

earth.

ZEC-4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these
two olive trees

upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left
[side] thereof?

ZEC-4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be
these] two olive

branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden
[oil] out of

themselves?

ZEC-4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what
these [be]? And I

said, No, my lord.

ZEC-4:14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that
stand by the

Lord of the whole earth.

ZEC-5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
behold a

flying roll.

ZEC-5:2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I
see a flying

roll; the length thereof [is] twenty cubits, and the breadth
thereof ten

cubits.

ZEC-5:3 Then said he unto me, This [is] the curse that goeth
forth over the

face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be
cut off [as] on

this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be
cut off [as]

on that side according to it.

ZEC-5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it
shall enter

into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that
sweareth falsely

by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and
shall consume

it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

ZEC-5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said
unto me, Lift

up now thine eyes, and see what [is] this that goeth forth.

ZEC-5:6 And I said, What [is] it? And he said, This [is] an
ephah that goeth

forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all
the earth.

ZEC-5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and
this [is] a

woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

ZEC-5:8 And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast it into
the midst of

the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

ZEC-5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold,
there came out

two women, and the wind [was] in their wings; for they had wings
like the

wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth
and the

heaven.

ZEC-5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither
do these bear

the ephah?

ZEC-5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land
of Shinar: and

it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

ZEC-6:1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and,
behold, there

came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the
mountains [were]

mountains of brass.

ZEC-6:2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the
second chariot

black horses;

ZEC-6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the
fourth chariot

grisled and bay horses.

ZEC-6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked
with me, What

[are] these, my lord?

ZEC-6:5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are]
the four spirits

of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of
all the earth.



ZEC-6:6 The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the
north country;

and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth
toward the south

country.

ZEC-6:7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they
might walk to and

fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and
fro through the

earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

ZEC-6:8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying,
Behold, these that

go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north
country.

ZEC-6:9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ZEC-6:10 Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of
Tobijah, and

of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same
day, and go

into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;

ZEC-6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set
[them] upon the

head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

ZEC-6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of
hosts, saying,

Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up
out of his

place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

ZEC-6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he
shall bear the

glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a
priest upon

his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

ZEC-6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and
to Jedaiah,

and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of
the LORD.

ZEC-6:15 And they [that are] far off shall come and build in
the temple of

the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me
unto you. And

[this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice
of the LORD

your God.

ZEC-7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
[that] the

word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the
ninth month,

[even] in Chisleu;

ZEC-7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and
Regemmelech,

and their men, to pray before the LORD,

ZEC-7:3 [And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the
house of the LORD

of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the
fifth month,

separating myself, as I have done these so many years?

ZEC-7:4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,


ZEC-7:5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the
priests, saying,

When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh [month],
even those

seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, [even] to me?

ZEC-7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye
eat [for

yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?

ZEC-7:7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath
cried by the

former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity,
and the

cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited the south
and the plain?

ZEC-7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,

ZEC-7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true
judgment, and

show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

ZEC-7:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the
stranger, nor the

poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in
your heart.

ZEC-7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the
shoulder, and

stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

ZEC-7:12 Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone,
lest they should

hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in
his spirit by

the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD
of hosts.

ZEC-7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and
they would not

hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of
hosts:

ZEC-7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the
nations whom

they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no
man passed

through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

ZEC-8:1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me],
saying,

ZEC-8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion
with great

jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

ZEC-8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will
dwell in the

midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of
truth; and the

mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

ZEC-8:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men
and old women

dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff
in his hand

for very age.

ZEC-8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and
girls playing

in the streets thereof.

ZEC-8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in
the eyes of the

remnant of this people in these days, should it also be
marvellous in mine

eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

ZEC-8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my
people from the

east country, and from the west country;

ZEC-8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the
midst of

Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God,
in truth and

in righteousness.

ZEC-8:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong,
ye that hear

in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which
[were] in the

day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was
laid, that the

temple might be built.

ZEC-8:10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor
any hire for

beast; neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or
came in because

of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his
neighbour.

ZEC-8:11 But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this
people as in the

former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

ZEC-8:12 For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall
give her fruit,

and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall
give their dew;

and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these
[things].

ZEC-8:13 And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse
among the

heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save
you, and ye

shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.

ZEC-8:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to
punish you, when

your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and
I repented

not:

ZEC-8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto
Jerusalem and

to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

ZEC-8:16 These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye
every man the

truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace
in your gates:



ZEC-8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts
against his

neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things]
that I hate,

saith the LORD.

ZEC-8:18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,


ZEC-8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth
[month], and

the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast
of the tenth,

shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful
feasts;

therefore love the truth and peace.

ZEC-8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; [It shall] yet [come to
pass], that

there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

ZEC-8:21 And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another,
saying, Let

us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of
hosts: I will

go also.

ZEC-8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek
the LORD of

hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

ZEC-8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days [it shall
come to pass],

that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall

take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go
with you: for

we have heard [that] God [is] with you.

ZEC-9:1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of
Hadrach, and

Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as
of all the

tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD.

ZEC-9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon,
though it be

very wise.

ZEC-9:3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped
up silver as

the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

ZEC-9:4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite
her power in

the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

ZEC-9:5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see
it], and be

very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed;
and the king

shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

ZEC-9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off
the pride of

the Philistines.

ZEC-9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and
his abominations

from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall
be] for our

God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a
Jebusite.

ZEC-9:8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army,
because of

him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no
oppressor shall

pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

ZEC-9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter
of Jerusalem:

behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having
salvation; lowly,

and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

ZEC-9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the
horse from

Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall
speak peace unto

the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea,
and from the

river [even] to the ends of the earth.

ZEC-9:11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have
sent forth thy

prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.

ZEC-9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope:
even to day do I

declare [that] I will render double unto thee;

ZEC-9:13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with
Ephraim, and

raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made
thee as the

sword of a mighty man.

ZEC-9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow
shall go forth

as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and
shall go with

whirlwinds of the south.

ZEC-9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall
devour, and

subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a
noise as through

wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners
of the altar.

ZEC-9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as
the flock of

his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted
up as an

ensign upon his land.

ZEC-9:17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is]
his beauty! corn

shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

ZEC-10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;
[so] the

LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to
every one

grass in the field.

ZEC-10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners
have seen a lie,

and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they
went their

way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no
shepherd.

ZEC-10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I
punished the

goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of
Judah, and

hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

ZEC-10:4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail,
out of him

the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

ZEC-10:5 And they shall be as mighty [men], which tread down
[their enemies]

in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight,
because the

LORD [is] with them, and the riders on horses shall be
confounded.

ZEC-10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will
save the house

of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have
mercy upon

them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I
[am] the LORD

their God, and will hear them.

ZEC-10:7 And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man],
and their heart

shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see
[it], and be

glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

ZEC-10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have
redeemed them: and

they shall increase as they have increased.

ZEC-10:9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall
remember me in

far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn
again.

ZEC-10:10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,
and gather

them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of
Gilead and

Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.

ZEC-10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction,
and shall smite

the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry
up: and the

pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt
shall depart

away.

ZEC-10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and

down in his name, saith the LORD.

ZEC-11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour
thy cedars.

ZEC-11:2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the
mighty are

spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the
vintage is come

down.

ZEC-11:3 [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds;
for their glory

is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride
of Jordan is

spoiled.

ZEC-11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the
slaughter;

ZEC-11:5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not
guilty: and they

that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and
their own

shepherds pity them not.

ZEC-11:6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,
saith the LORD:

but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's
hand, and into

the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of
their hand I

will not deliver [them].

ZEC-11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O
poor of the

flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty,
and the other I

called Bands; and I fed the flock.

ZEC-11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my
soul loathed

them, and their soul also abhorred me.

ZEC-11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let
it die; and

that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest
eat every one

the flesh of another.

ZEC-11:10 And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it
asunder, that I

might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

ZEC-11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the
flock that

waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.

ZEC-11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my
price; and if

not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of
silver.

ZEC-11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a
goodly price

that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of
silver, and

cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

ZEC-11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands,
that I might

break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

ZEC-11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a

foolish shepherd.

ZEC-11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land,
[which] shall not

visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one,
nor heal that

that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall
eat the flesh

of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

ZEC-11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the
sword [shall

be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean
dried up, and

his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

ZEC-12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith
the LORD, which

stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the
earth, and

formeth the spirit of man within him.

ZEC-12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto
all the people

round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah
[and] against

Jerusalem.

ZEC-12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome
stone for all

people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in
pieces, though all

the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

ZEC-12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse
with

astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine
eyes upon the

house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with
blindness.

ZEC-12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart,
The inhabitants

of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their
God.

ZEC-12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an
hearth of

fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and
they shall

devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the
left: and

Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in
Jerusalem.

ZEC-12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first,
that the glory of

the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem
do not

magnify [themselves] against Judah.

ZEC-12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of
Jerusalem; and

he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and
the house of

David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

ZEC-12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will
seek to destroy

all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

ZEC-12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
inhabitants

of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they
shall look

upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as
one mourneth

for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one
that is in

bitterness for [his] firstborn.

ZEC-12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in
Jerusalem, as the

mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

ZEC-12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the
family of the

house of David apart, and their wives apart;

ZEC-12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their
wives apart; the

family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

ZEC-12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and
their wives

apart.

ZEC-13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the
house of David

and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

ZEC-13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD
of hosts,

[that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land,
and they shall

no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and
the unclean

spirit to pass out of the land.

ZEC-13:3 And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet
prophesy, then

his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him,
Thou shalt not

live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his
father and his

mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he
prophesieth.

ZEC-13:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the
prophets shall be

ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied;
neither shall they

wear a rough garment to deceive:

ZEC-13:5 But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an
husbandman; for man

taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

ZEC-13:6 And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds
in thine

hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded
[in] the house

of my friends.

ZEC-13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the
man [that is]

my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the
sheep shall be

scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

ZEC-13:8 And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land,
saith the LORD,

two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third
shall be left

therein.

ZEC-13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and
will refine

them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried:
they shall call

on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people:
and they

shall say, The LORD [is] my God.

ZEC-14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil
shall be divided

in the midst of thee.

ZEC-14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to
battle; and the

city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
ravished; and half

of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of
the people shall

not be cut off from the city.

ZEC-14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, as

when he fought in the day of battle.

ZEC-14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of
Olives, which

[is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall
cleave in the

midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there
shall be] a very

great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the
north, and half

of it toward the south.

ZEC-14:5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains;
for the valley

of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like
as ye fled

from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the LORD

my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.

ZEC-14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the
light shall not be

clear, [nor] dark:

ZEC-14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the
LORD, not day,

nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening time it
shall be

light.

ZEC-14:8 And it shall be in that day, [that] living waters
shall go out from

Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them
toward the

hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

ZEC-14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that
day shall

there be one LORD, and his name one.

ZEC-14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
Rimmon south

of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her
place, from

Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the
corner gate, and

[from] the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

ZEC-14:11 And [men] shall dwell in it, and there shall be no
more utter

destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

ZEC-14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
smite all the

people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall
consume away

while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume
away in their

holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

ZEC-14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great
tumult from

the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one
on the hand of

his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of
his neighbour.

ZEC-14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the
wealth of all the

heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver,
and apparel,

in great abundance.

ZEC-14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule,
of the camel,

and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these
tents, as this

plague.

ZEC-14:16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is
left of all the

nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year
to year to

worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles.

ZEC-14:17 And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of
[all] the

families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the
LORD of hosts,

even upon them shall be no rain.

ZEC-14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not,
that [have] no

[rain]; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite
the heathen

that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

ZEC-14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the
punishment of all

nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

ZEC-14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the
horses, HOLINESS

UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like
the bowls before

the altar.

ZEC-14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be
holiness unto the

LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take
of them, and

seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the
Canaanite in the

house of the LORD of hosts.
