Zechariah 1



1. In the eighth <08066> month <02320>, in the second <08147> year <08141> of Darius <01867>, came < 01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Zechariah <02148>, the son <01121> of Berechiah <01296>, the son <01121> of Iddo <05714> the prophet <05030>, saying < 0559>,

2 The LORD <03068> hath been sore displeased <07107> with your fathers <01>.

3 Therefore say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Turn < 07725> ye unto me, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will turn <07725> unto you, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

4 Be ye not as your fathers <01>, unto whom the former <07223> prophets <05030> have cried <07121>, saying < 0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Turn <07725> ye now <04994> from your evil <07451> ways <01870>, and [from] your evil <07451> doings <04611>: but they did not hear <08085>, nor < 03808> hearken <07181> unto me, saith <05002> the LORD < 03068>.

5 Your fathers <01>, where <0346> [are] they? and the prophets <05030>, do they live <02421> for ever < 05769>?

6 But my words <01697> and my statutes <02706>, which <0834> I commanded <06680> my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, did they not take <05381> hold <05381> of your fathers <01>? and they returned <07725> and said < 0559>, Like as the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> thought <02161> to do <06213> unto us, according to our ways < 01870>, and according to our doings <04611>, so <03651> hath he dealt <06213> with us.

7. Upon the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the eleventh month <02320>, which <01931> [is] the month <02320> Sebat <07627>, in the second < 08147> year <08141> of Darius <01867>, came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Zechariah < 02148>, the son <01121> of Berechiah <01296>, the son < 01121> of Iddo <05714> the prophet <05030>, saying < 0559>,

8 I saw <07200> by night <03915>, and behold < 02009> a man <0376> riding <07392> upon a red <0122> horse <05483>, and he stood <05975> among <0996> the myrtle <01918> trees that [were] in the bottom <04699>; and behind <0310> him [were there] red <0122> horses <05483>, speckled <08320>, and white <03836>.

9 Then said <0559> I, O my lord <0113>, what < 04100> [are] these <0428>? And the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me said <0559> unto me, I will shew < 07200> thee what <04100> these <0428> [be].

10 And the man <0376> that stood <05975> among < 0996> the myrtle <01918> trees answered <06030> and said <0559>, These <0428> [are they] whom <0834> the LORD < 03068> hath sent <07971> to walk <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

11 And they answered <06030> the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> that stood <05975> among <0996> the myrtle <01918> trees, and said <0559>, We have walked < 01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>, and, behold < 02009>, all <03605> the earth <0776> sitteth <03427> still, and is at rest <08252>.

12 Then the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> answered <06030> and said <0559>, O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, how <05704> long <05704> wilt thou not have mercy <07355> on Jerusalem <03389> and on the cities < 05892> of Judah <03063>, against which <0834> thou hast had indignation <02194> these <02088> threescore <07657> and ten years <08141>?

13 And the LORD <03068> answered <06030> the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me [with] good <02896> words <01697> [and] comfortable <05150> words <01697>.

14 So the angel <04397> that communed <01696> with me said <0559> unto me, Cry <07121> thou, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635>; I am jealous <07065> for Jerusalem <03389> and for Zion <06726> with a great <01419> jealousy <07068>.

15 And I am very sore displeased <07107> with the heathen <01471> [that are] at ease <07600>: for I was but a little < 04592> displeased <07107>, and they helped <05826> forward the affliction <07451>.

16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; I am returned <07725> to Jerusalem < 03389> with mercies <07356>: my house <01004> shall be built <01129> in it, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and a line <06957> shall be stretched < 05186> forth upon Jerusalem <03389>.

17 Cry <07121> yet <05750>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635>; My cities <05892> through prosperity <02896> shall yet <05750> be spread <06327> abroad <06527>; and the LORD <03068> shall yet <05750> comfort <05162> Zion < 06726>, and shall yet <05750> choose <0977> Jerusalem < 03389>.

18. Then lifted <05375> I up mine eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>, and behold <02009> four <0702> horns < 07161>.

19 And I said <0559> unto the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me, What <04100> [be] these <0428>? And he answered <0559> me, These <0428> [are] the horns < 07161> which <0834> have scattered <02219> Judah < 03063>, Israel <03478>, and Jerusalem <03389>.

20 And the LORD <03068> shewed <07200> me four < 0702> carpenters <02796>.

21 Then said <0559> I, What <04100> come < 0935> these <0428> to do <06213>? And he spake <0559>, saying <0559>, These <0428> [are] the horns <07161> which <0834> have scattered <02219> Judah <03063>, so that no <03808> man <0376> did lift <05375> up his head <07218>: but these <0428> are come <0935> to fray < 02729> them, to cast <03034> out the horns <07161> of the Gentiles <01471>, which lifted <05375> up [their] horn < 07161> over <0413> the land <0776> of Judah <03063> to scatter <02219> it.

Zechariah 2

1. I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869> again, and looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a man <0376> with a measuring <04060> line <02256> in his hand <03027>.

2 Then said <0559> I, Whither <0575> goest < 01980> thou? And he said <0559> unto me, To measure <04058> Jerusalem <03389>, to see <07200> what <04100> [is] the breadth <07341> thereof, and what <04100> [is] the length < 0753> thereof.

3 And, behold <02009>, the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me went <03318> forth <03318>, and another <0312> angel <04397> went <03318> out to meet <07125> him,

4 And said <0559> unto him, Run <07323>, speak < 01696> to this <01975> young <05288> man, saying < 0559>, Jerusalem <03389> shall be inhabited <03427> [as] towns <06519> without walls for the multitude <07230> of men <0120> and cattle <0929> therein <08432>:

5 For I, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, will be unto her a wall <02346> of fire <0784> round <05439> about, and will be the glory <03519> in the midst <08432> of her.

6. Ho <01945>, ho <01945>, [come forth], and flee <05127> from the land <0776> of the north <06828>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>: for I have spread <06566> you abroad <06566> as the four <0702> winds <07307> of the heaven <08064>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

7 Deliver <04422> thyself, O Zion <06726>, that dwellest <03427> [with] the daughter <01323> of Babylon < 0894>.

8 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635>; After <0310> the glory < 03519> hath he sent <07971> me unto the nations <01471> which spoiled <07997> you: for he that toucheth <05060> you toucheth <05060> the apple <0892> of his eye <05869>.

9 For, behold <02005>, I will shake <05130> mine hand <03027> upon them, and they shall be a spoil <07998> to their servants <05647>: and ye shall know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> me.

10. Sing <07442> and rejoice <08055>, O daughter < 01323> of Zion <06726>: for, lo, I come <0935>, and I will dwell <07931> in the midst <08432> of thee, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

11 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall be joined <03867> to the LORD <03068> in that day <03117>, and shall be my people <05971>: and I will dwell <07931> in the midst <08432> of thee, and thou shalt know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> me unto thee.

12 And the LORD <03068> shall inherit <05157> Judah <03063> his portion <02506> in the holy <06944> land < 0127>, and shall choose <0977> Jerusalem <03389> again < 05750>.

13 Be silent <02013>, O all <03605> flesh < 01320>, before <06440> the LORD <03068>: for he is raised <05782> up out of his holy <06944> habitation <04583>.

Zechariah 3

1. And he shewed <07200> me Joshua <03091> the high <01419> priest <03548> standing <05975> before < 06440> the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>, and Satan < 07854> standing <05975> at <05921> his right <03225> hand <03225> to resist <07853> him.

2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, The LORD <03068> rebuke <01605> thee, O Satan < 07854>; even the LORD <03068> that hath chosen <0977> Jerusalem <03389> rebuke <01605> thee: [is] not this < 02088> a brand <0181> plucked <05337> out of the fire < 0784>?

3 Now Joshua <03091> was clothed <03847> with filthy <06674> garments <0899>, and stood <05975> before <06440> the angel <04397>.

4 And he answered <06030> and spake <0559> unto those that stood <05975> before <06440> him, saying < 0559>, Take <05493> away <05493> the filthy <06674> garments <0899> from him. And unto him he said <0559>, Behold <07200>, I have caused thine iniquity <05771> to pass < 05674> from thee, and I will clothe <03847> thee with change < 04254> of raiment <04254>.

5 And I said <0559>, Let them set <07760> a fair <02889> mitre <06797> upon his head <07218>. So they set <07760> a fair <02889> mitre <06797> upon his head < 07218>, and clothed <03847> him with garments <0899>. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> by.

6 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> protested <05749> unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,

7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; If <0518> thou wilt walk <03212> in my ways <01870>, and if <0518> thou wilt keep <08104> my charge <04931>, then thou shalt also <01571> judge < 01777> my house <01004>, and shalt also <01571> keep < 08104> my courts <02691>, and I will give <05414> thee places to walk <04108> among <0996> these <0428> that stand <05975> by.

8. Hear <08085> now <04994>, O Joshua <03091> the high <01419> priest <03548>, thou, and thy fellows < 07453> that sit <03427> before <06440> thee: for they [are] men <0582> wondered <04159> at: for, behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> forth <0935> my servant <05650> the BRANCH <06780>.

9 For behold <02009> the stone <068> that I have laid <05414> before <06440> Joshua <03091>; upon one < 0259> stone <068> [shall be] seven <07651> eyes < 05869>: behold <02005>, I will engrave <06605> the graving <06603> thereof, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will remove <04185> the iniquity <05771> of that land <0776> in one <0259> day <03117>.

10 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635>, shall ye call <07121> every man his neighbour <07453> under <08478> the vine <01612> and under <08478> the fig <08384> tree.

Zechariah 4

1. And the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me came <07725> again <07725>, and waked <05782> me, as a man <0376> that is wakened <05782> out of his sleep < 08142>,

2 And said <0559> unto me, What <04100> seest < 07200> thou? And I said <0559>, I have looked <07200>, and behold <02005> a candlestick <04501> all <03605> [of] gold <02091>, with a bowl <01543> upon the top <07218> of it, and his seven <07651> lamps <05216> thereon < 05921>, and seven <07651> pipes <04166> to the seven < 07651> lamps <05216>, which [are] upon the top <07218> thereof:

3 And two <08147> olive <02132> trees by it, one <0259> upon the right <03225> [side] of the bowl <01543>, and the other <0259> upon the left <08040> [side] thereof.

4 So I answered <06030> and spake <0559> to the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me, saying <0559>, What <04100> [are] these <0428>, my lord <0113>?

5 Then the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me answered <06030> and said <0559> unto me, Knowest < 03045> thou not what <04100> these <0428> be? And I said <0559>, No <03808>, my lord <0113>.

6 Then he answered <06030> and spake <0559> unto me, saying <0559>, This <02088> [is] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Zerubbabel <02216>, saying <0559>, Not by might <02428>, nor <03808> by power <03581>, but by my spirit <07307>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

7 Who <04310> [art] thou, O great <01419> mountain <02022>? before <06440> Zerubbabel <02216> [thou shalt become] a plain <04334>: and he shall bring <03318> forth < 03318> the headstone [thereof with] shoutings <08663>, [crying], Grace <02580>, grace <02580> unto it.

8 Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

9 The hands <03027> of Zerubbabel <02216> have laid the foundation <03248> of this <02088> house <01004>; his hands <03027> shall also finish <01214> it; and thou shalt know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> me unto you.

10 For who <04310> hath despised <0937> the day < 03117> of small <06996> things? for they shall rejoice < 08055>, and shall see <07200> the plummet in the hand < 03027> of Zerubbabel <02216> [with] those <0428> seven < 07651>; they [are] the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, which run <07751> to and fro <07751> through the whole < 03605> earth <0776>.

11. Then answered <06030> I, and said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [are] these <0428> two <08147> olive <02132> trees upon the right <03225> [side] of the candlestick <04501> and upon the left <08040> [side] thereof?

12 And I answered <06030> again <08145>, and said <0559> unto him, What <04100> [be these] two <08147> olive <02132> branches <07641> which <0834> through < 03027> the two <08147> golden <02091> pipes <06804> empty <07324> the golden <02091> [oil] out of themselves?

13 And he answered <0559> me and said <0559>, Knowest <03045> thou not what <04100> these <0428> [be]? And I said <0559>, No <03808>, my lord <0113>.

14 Then said <0559> he, These <0428> [are] the two <08147> anointed <03323> ones, that stand <05975> by the Lord <0113> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.

Zechariah 5

1. Then I turned <07725>, and lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869>, and looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a flying <05774> roll <04040>.

2 And he said <0559> unto me, What <04100> seest <07200> thou? And I answered <0559>, I see <07200> a flying <05774> roll <04040>; the length <0753> thereof [is] twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, and the breadth < 07341> thereof ten <06235> cubits <0520>.

3 Then said <0559> he unto me, This <02063> [is] the curse <0423> that goeth <03318> forth <03318> over <05921> the face <06440> of the whole <03605> earth < 0776>: for every <03605> one that stealeth <01589> shall be cut <05352> off [as] on this <02088> side according < 03644> to it; and every <03605> one that sweareth <07650> shall be cut <05352> off [as] on that side according <03644> to it.

4 I will bring <03318> it forth <03318>, saith < 05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and it shall enter <0935> into <0413> the house <01004> of the thief <01590>, and into <0413> the house <01004> of him that sweareth <07650> falsely <08267> by my name <08034>: and it shall remain <03885> in the midst <08432> of his house < 01004>, and shall consume <03615> it with the timber <06086> thereof and the stones <068> thereof.

5. Then the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me went <03318> forth <03318>, and said <0559> unto me, Lift <05375> up now <04994> thine eyes <05869>, and see <07200> what <04100> [is] this <02063> that goeth < 03318> forth <03318>.

6 And I said <0559>, What <04100> [is] it? And he said <0559>, This <02063> [is] an ephah <0374> that goeth <03318> forth <03318>. He said <0559> moreover, This <02063> [is] their resemblance <05869> through all < 03605> the earth <0776>.

7 And, behold <02009>, there was lifted up a talent < 03603> of lead <05777>: and this <02063> [is] a woman < 0802> that sitteth <03427> in the midst <08432> of the ephah <0374>.

8 And he said <0559>, This <02063> [is] wickedness <07564>. And he cast <07993> it into <0413> the midst <08432> of the ephah <0374>; and he cast <07993> the weight <068> of lead <05777> upon the mouth <06310> thereof.

9 Then lifted <05375> I up mine eyes <05869>, and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, there came <03318> out two <08147> women <0802>, and the wind <07307> [was] in their wings <03671>; for they had wings <03671> like the wings <03671> of a stork <02624>: and they lifted <05375> up the ephah <0374> between <0996> the earth <0776> and the heaven <08064>.

10 Then said <0559> I to the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me, Whither <0575> do these <01992> bear <03212> the ephah <0374>?

11 And he said <0559> unto me, To build <01129> it an house <01004> in the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>: and it shall be established <03559>, and set <03240> there < 08033> upon her own base <04369>.

Zechariah 6

1. And I turned <07725>, and lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869>, and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, there came <03318> four <0702> chariots <04818> out from between <0996> two <08147> mountains <02022>; and the mountains <02022> [were] mountains <02022> of brass < 05178>.

2 In the first <07223> chariot <04818> [were] red <0122> horses <05483>; and in the second <08145> chariot <04818> black <07838> horses <05483>;

3 And in the third <07992> chariot <04818> white <03836> horses <05483>; and in the fourth <07243> chariot <04818> grisled <01261> and bay <0554> horses <05483>.

4 Then I answered <06030> and said <0559> unto the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me, What <04100> [are] these <0428>, my lord <0113>?

5 And the angel <04397> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto me, These <0428> [are] the four <0702> spirits <07307> of the heavens <08064>, which go <03318> forth <03318> from standing <03320> before <05921> the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth <0776>.

6 The black <07838> horses <05483> which < 0834> [are] therein go <03318> forth <03318> into < 0413> the north <06828> country <0776>; and the white < 03836> go <03318> forth <03318> after <0310> them; and the grisled <01261> go <03318> forth <03318> toward <0413> the south <08486> country <0776>.

7 And the bay <0554> went <03318> forth < 03318>, and sought <01245> to go <03212> that they might walk <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>: and he said <0559>, Get <03212> you hence <03212>, walk <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>. So they walked <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

8 Then cried <02199> he upon me, and spake <01696> unto me, saying <0559>, Behold <07200>, these that go < 03318> toward <0413> the north <06828> country <0776> have quieted <05117> my spirit <07307> in the north < 06828> country <0776>.

9. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

10 Take <03947> of [them of] the captivity <01473>, [even] of Heldai <02469>, of Tobijah <02900>, and of Jedaiah <03048>, which <0834> are come <0935> from Babylon < 0894>, and come <0935> thou the same <01931> day < 03117>, and go <0935> into the house <01004> of Josiah < 02977> the son <01121> of Zephaniah <06846>;

11 Then take <03947> silver <03701> and gold < 02091>, and make <06213> crowns <05850>, and set < 07760> [them] upon the head <07218> of Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>, the high <01419> priest <03548>;

12 And speak <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009> the man <0376> whose name <08034> [is] The BRANCH <06780>; and he shall grow <06779> up out of his place <08478>, and he shall build < 01129> the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>:

13 Even he shall build <01129> the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>; and he shall bear <05375> the glory < 01935>, and shall sit <03427> and rule <04910> upon his throne <03678>; and he shall be a priest <03548> upon his throne <03678>: and the counsel <06098> of peace <07965> shall be between <0996> them both <08147>.

14 And the crowns <05850> shall be to Helem <02494>, and to Tobijah <02900>, and to Jedaiah <03048>, and to Hen <02581> the son <01121> of Zephaniah <06846>, for a memorial <02146> in the temple <01964> of the LORD < 03068>.

15 And they [that are] far <07350> off shall come < 0935> and build <01129> in the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, and ye shall know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> me unto you. And [this] shall come <01961> to pass, if ye will diligently obey <08085> the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.

Zechariah 7

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of king <04428> Darius <01867>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Zechariah <02148> in the fourth <0702> [day] of the ninth < 08671> month <02320>, [even] in Chisleu <03691>;

2 When they had sent <07971> unto the house <01008> of God <01008> Sherezer <08272> and Regemmelech <07278>, and their men <0582>, to pray <02470> before the LORD < 03068>,

3 [And] to speak <0559> unto the priests <03548> which <0834> [were] in the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635>, and to the prophets <05030>, saying <0559>, Should I weep <01058> in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, separating <05144> myself, as I have done < 06213> these <02088> so many years <08141>?

4 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> unto me, saying <0559>,

5 Speak <0559> unto all <03605> the people < 05971> of the land <0776>, and to the priests <03548>, saying <0559>, When <03588> ye fasted <06684> and mourned <05594> in the fifth <02549> and seventh <07637> [month], even those <02088> seventy <07657> years <08141> , did ye at all fast <06684> unto me, [even] to me?

6 And when <03588> ye did eat <0398>, and when < 03588> ye did drink <08354>, did not ye eat <0398> [for yourselves], and drink <08354> [for yourselves]?

7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words <01697> which < 0834> the LORD <03068> hath cried <07121> by the former < 07223> prophets <05030>, when Jerusalem <03389> was inhabited <03427> and in prosperity <07961>, and the cities <05892> thereof round <05439> about her, when [men] inhabited <03427> the south <05045> and the plain <08219>?

8. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto Zechariah <02148>, saying <0559>,

9 Thus <03541> speaketh <0559> the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635>, saying <0559>, Execute < 08199> true <0571> judgment <04941>, and shew <06213> mercy <02617> and compassions <07356> every man <0376> to his brother <0251>:

10 And oppress <06231> not the widow <0490>, nor the fatherless <03490>, the stranger <01616>, nor the poor < 06041>; and let none <0408> of you imagine <02803> evil < 07451> against his brother <0251> in your heart <03824>.

11 But they refused <03985> to hearken <07181>, and pulled <05414> away the shoulder <03802>, and stopped < 03513> their ears <0241>, that they should not hear <08085>.

12 Yea, they made <07760> their hearts <03820> [as] an adamant <08068> stone <08068>, lest they should hear < 08085> the law <08451>, and the words <01697> which < 0834> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent < 07971> in his spirit <07307> by the former <07223> prophets <05030>: therefore came <01961> a great <01419> wrath <07110> from the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

13 Therefore it is come <01961> to pass, [that] as he cried <07121>, and they would not hear <08085>; so < 03651> they cried <07121>, and I would not hear <08085>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>:

14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind <05590> among <05921> all <03605> the nations <01471> whom <0834> they knew <03045> not. Thus the land <0776> was desolate < 08074> after <0310> them, that no man passed <05674> through nor returned <07725>: for they laid <07760> the pleasant <02532> land <0776> desolate <08047>.

Zechariah 8

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> came <01961> [to me], saying <0559>,

2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; I was jealous <07065> for Zion <06726> with great <01419> jealousy <07068>, and I was jealous < 07065> for her with great <01419> fury <02534>.

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; I am returned <07725> unto Zion <06726>, and will dwell < 07931> in the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and Jerusalem <03389> shall be called <07121> a city <05892> of truth <0571>; and the mountain <02022> of the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635> the holy <06944> mountain < 02022>.

4 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; There shall yet <05750> old <02205> men and old <02205> women dwell <03427> in the streets < 07339> of Jerusalem <03389>, and every man <0376> with his staff <04938> in his hand <03027> for very <07230> age <03117>.

5 And the streets <07339> of the city <05892> shall be full <04390> of boys <03206> and girls <03207> playing <07832> in the streets <07339> thereof.

6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; If <03588> it be marvellous <06381> in the eyes <05869> of the remnant <07611> of this <02088> people <05971> in these <01992> days <03117>, should it also <01571> be marvellous <06381> in mine eyes <05869>? saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Behold <02005>, I will save <03467> my people <05971> from the east <04217> country <0776>, and from the west country <0776>;

8 And I will bring <0935> them, and they shall dwell < 07931> in the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>, in truth <0571> and in righteousness <06666>.

9. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Let your hands <03027> be strong < 02388>, ye that hear <08085> in these <0428> days < 03117> these <0428> words <01697> by the mouth <06310> of the prophets <05030>, which <0834> [were] in the day < 03117> [that] the foundation <03248> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> was laid, that the temple <01964> might be built <01129>.

10 For before <06440> these <01992> days < 03117> there was no <03808> hire <07939> for man < 0120>, nor <0369> any hire <07939> for beast <0929>; neither <0369> [was there any] peace <07965> to him that went <03318> out or came <0935> in because <04480> of the affliction <06862>: for I set <07971> all <03605> men <0120> every one <0376> against his neighbour <07453>.

11 But now <06258> I [will] not [be] unto the residue < 07611> of this <02088> people <05971> as in the former < 07223> days <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

12 For the seed <02233> [shall be] prosperous < 07965>; the vine <01612> shall give <05414> her fruit < 06529>, and the ground <0776> shall give <05414> her increase <02981>, and the heavens <08064> shall give < 05414> their dew <02919>; and I will cause the remnant < 07611> of this <02088> people <05971> to possess < 05157> all <03605> these <0428> [things].

13 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] as ye were a curse <07045> among the heathen <01471>, O house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and house <01004> of Israel <03478>; so will I save <03467> you, and ye shall be a blessing <01293>: fear <03372> not, [but] let your hands <03027> be strong < 02388>.

14 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068> of hosts <06635>; As I thought <02161> to punish < 07489> you, when your fathers <01> provoked me to wrath < 07107>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> , and I repented <05162> not:

15 So <03651> again <07725> have I thought < 02161> in these <0428> days <03117> to do well <03190> unto Jerusalem <03389> and to the house <01004> of Judah < 03063>: fear <03372> ye not.

16 These <0428> [are] the things that ye shall do < 06213>; Speak <01696> ye every man <0376> the truth < 0571> to his neighbour <07453>; execute <08199> the judgment <04941> of truth <0571> and peace <07965> in your gates <08179>:

17 And let none <0408> of you imagine evil <07451> in your hearts <03820> against his neighbour <07453>; and love <0157> no <03808> false <08267> oath <07621>: for all <03605> these <0428> [are things] that I hate <08130> , saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

18. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

19 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; The fast <06685> of the fourth <07243> [month], and the fast <06685> of the fifth <02549>, and the fast <06685> of the seventh <07637>, and the fast <06685> of the tenth <06224>, shall be to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> joy <08342> and gladness <08057>, and cheerful <02896> feasts <04150>; therefore love <0157> the truth <0571> and peace <07965>.

20 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; [It shall] yet <05750> [come to pass], that there shall come <0935> people <05971>, and the inhabitants <03427> of many <07227> cities <05892>:

21 And the inhabitants <03427> of one <0259> [city] shall go <01980> to another <0259>, saying <0559>, Let us go <03212> speedily <01980> to pray <02470> before the LORD <03068>, and to seek <01245> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: I will go <03212> also <01571>.

22 Yea, many <07227> people <05971> and strong < 06099> nations <01471> shall come <0935> to seek < 01245> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in Jerusalem < 03389>, and to pray <02470> before the LORD <03068>.

23 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; In those <01992> days <03117> [it shall come to pass], that ten <06235> men <0582> shall take <02388> hold <02388> out of all <03605> languages < 03956> of the nations <01471>, even shall take <02388> hold <02388> of the skirt <03671> of him that is a Jew <03064> , saying <0559>, We will go <03212> with you: for we have heard <08085> [that] God <0430> [is] with you.

Zechariah 9

1. The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> in the land <0776> of Hadrach <02317>, and Damascus <01834> [shall be] the rest <04496> thereof: when < 03588> the eyes <05869> of man <0120>, as of all < 03605> the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, [shall be] toward the LORD <03068>.

2 And Hamath <02574> also <01571> shall border < 01379> thereby; Tyrus <06865>, and Zidon <06721>, though <03588> it be very <03966> wise <02449>.

3 And Tyrus <06865> did build <01129> herself a strong <04692> hold <04692>, and heaped <06651> up silver <03701> as the dust <06083>, and fine gold <02742> as the mire <02916> of the streets <02351>.

4 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> will cast < 03423> her out, and he will smite <05221> her power <02428> in the sea <03220>; and she shall be devoured <0398> with fire <0784>.

5 Ashkelon <0831> shall see <07200> [it], and fear <03372>; Gaza <05804> also [shall see it], and be very < 03966> sorrowful <02342>, and Ekron <06138>; for her expectation <04007> shall be ashamed <0954>; and the king < 04428> shall perish <06> from Gaza <05804>, and Ashkelon <0831> shall not be inhabited <03427>.

6 And a bastard <04464> shall dwell <03427> in Ashdod <0795>, and I will cut <03772> off the pride < 01347> of the Philistines <06430>.

7 And I will take <05493> away <05493> his blood <01818> out of his mouth <06310>, and his abominations < 08251> from between <0996> his teeth <08127>: but he that remaineth <07604>, even <01571> he, [shall be] for our God < 0430>, and he shall be as a governor <0441> in Judah <03063> , and Ekron <06138> as a Jebusite <02983>.

8 And I will encamp <02583> about mine house <01004> because of the army <04675>, because of him that passeth < 05674> by, and because of him that returneth <07725>: and no < 03808> oppressor <05065> shall pass <05674> through them any more <05750>: for now <06258> have I seen <07200> with mine eyes <05869>.

9. Rejoice <01523> greatly <03966>, O daughter < 01323> of Zion <06726>; shout <07321>, O daughter < 01323> of Jerusalem <03389>: behold <02009>, thy King < 04428> cometh <0935> unto thee: he [is] just <06662>, and having salvation <03467>; lowly <06041>, and riding < 07392> upon an ass <02543>, and upon a colt <05895> the foal <01121> of an ass <0860>.

10 And I will cut <03772> off the chariot <07393> from Ephraim <0669>, and the horse <05483> from Jerusalem < 03389>, and the battle <04421> bow <07198> shall be cut < 03772> off: and he shall speak <01696> peace <07965> unto the heathen <01471>: and his dominion <04915> [shall be] from sea <03220> [even] to sea <03220>, and from the river < 05104> [even] to the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>.

11 As for thee also <01571>, by the blood <01818> of thy covenant <01285> I have sent <07971> forth thy prisoners <0615> out of the pit <0953> wherein [is] no < 03808> water <04325>.

12. Turn <07725> you to the strong <01225> hold < 01225>, ye prisoners <0615> of hope <08615>: even < 01571> to day <03117> do I declare <05046> [that] I will render <07725> double <04932> unto thee;

13 When <03588> I have bent <01869> Judah < 03063> for me, filled <04390> the bow <07198> with Ephraim <0669>, and raised <05782> up thy sons <01121>, O Zion <06726>, against <05921> thy sons <01121>, O Greece < 03120>, and made <07760> thee as the sword <02719> of a mighty <01368> man.

14 And the LORD <03068> shall be seen <07200> over <05921> them, and his arrow <02671> shall go <03318> forth <03318> as the lightning <01300>: and the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069> shall blow <08628> the trumpet < 07782>, and shall go <01980> with whirlwinds <05591> of the south <08486>.

15 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall defend <01598> them; and they shall devour <0398>, and subdue < 03533> with sling <07050> stones <068>; and they shall drink <08354>, [and] make a noise <06963> as through wine < 03196>; and they shall be filled <04390> like bowls <04219>, [and] as the corners <02106> of the altar <04196>.

16 And the LORD <03068> their God <0430> shall save <03467> them in that day <03117> as the flock <06629> of his people <05971>: for they [shall be as] the stones <068> of a crown <05145>, lifted <05264> up as an ensign <05264> upon his land <0127>.

17 For how <04100> great [is] his goodness <02898>, and how <04100> great [is] his beauty <03308>! corn < 01715> shall make the young <0970> men cheerful <05107>, and new <08492> wine <08492> the maids <01330>.

Zechariah 10

1. Ask <07592> ye of the LORD <03068> rain < 04306> in the time <06256> of the latter <04456> rain < 04456>; [so] the LORD <03068> shall make <06213> bright < 02385> clouds <02385>, and give <05414> them showers < 01653> of rain <04306>, to every <0376> one <0376> grass <06212> in the field <07704>.

2 For the idols <08655> have spoken <01696> vanity <0205>, and the diviners <07080> have seen <02372> a lie <08267>, and have told <01696> false <07723> dreams < 02472>; they comfort <05162> in vain <01892>: therefore they went <05265> their way as a flock <06629>, they were troubled <06031>, because <03588> [there was] no <0369> shepherd <07462>.

3 Mine anger <0639> was kindled <02734> against < 05921> the shepherds <07462>, and I punished <06485> the goats <06260>: for the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath visited <06485> his flock <05739> the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and hath made <07760> them as his goodly < 01935> horse <05483> in the battle <04421>.

4 Out of him came <03318> forth <03318> the corner <06438>, out of him the nail <03489>, out of him the battle <04421> bow <07198>, out of him every <03605> oppressor <05065> together <03162>.

5. And they shall be as mighty <01368> [men], which tread <0947> down [their enemies] in the mire <02916> of the streets <02351> in the battle <04421>: and they shall fight < 03898>, because <03588> the LORD <03068> [is] with them, and the riders <07392> on horses <05483> shall be confounded <03001>.

6 And I will strengthen <01396> the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and I will save <03467> the house < 01004> of Joseph <03130>, and I will bring <07725> them again <07725> to place <03427> them; for I have mercy < 07355> upon them: and they shall be as though <0834> I had not cast <02186> them off: for I [am] the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and will hear <06030> them.

7 And [they of] Ephraim <0669> shall be like a mighty < 01368> [man], and their heart <03820> shall rejoice <08055> as through wine <03196>: yea, their children <01121> shall see <07200> [it], and be glad <08056>; their heart <03820> shall rejoice <01523> in the LORD <03068>.

8 I will hiss <08319> for them, and gather <06908> them; for I have redeemed <06299> them: and they shall increase < 07235> as they have increased <07235>.

9 And I will sow <02232> them among the people < 05971>: and they shall remember <02142> me in far <04801> countries; and they shall live <02421> with their children < 01121>, and turn <07725> again <07725>.

10 I will bring <07725> them again <07725> also out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and gather <06908> them out of Assyria <0804>; and I will bring <0935> them into <0413> the land <0776> of Gilead <01568> and Lebanon < 03844>; and [place] shall not be found <04672> for them.

11 And he shall pass <05674> through the sea <03220> with affliction <06869>, and shall smite <05221> the waves <01530> in the sea <03220>, and all <03605> the deeps <04688> of the river <02975> shall dry <03001> up: and the pride <01347> of Assyria <0804> shall be brought < 03381> down <03381>, and the sceptre <07626> of Egypt < 04714> shall depart <05493> away.

12 And I will strengthen <01396> them in the LORD < 03068>; and they shall walk <01980> up and down in his name < 08034>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

Zechariah 11

1. Open <06605> thy doors <01817>, O Lebanon < 03844>, that the fire <0784> may devour <0398> thy cedars <0730>.

2 Howl <03213>, fir <01265> tree; for the cedar < 0730> is fallen <05307>; because <0834> the mighty < 0117> are spoiled <07703>: howl <03213>, O ye oaks < 0437> of Bashan <01316>; for the forest <03293> of the vintage <01208> is come <03381> down <03381>.

3 [There is] a voice <06963> of the howling <03213> of the shepherds <07462>; for their glory <0155> is spoiled <07703>: a voice <06963> of the roaring <07581> of young <03715> lions <03715>; for the pride <01347> of Jordan <03383> is spoiled <07703>.

4. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> my God <0430>; Feed <07462> the flock <06629> of the slaughter <02028>;

5 Whose <0834> possessors <07069> slay <02026> them, and hold <0816> themselves not guilty <0816>: and they that sell <04376> them say <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>; for I am rich <06238>: and their own shepherds <07462> pity <02550> them not.

6 For I will no <03808> more <05750> pity < 02550> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>: but, lo, I will deliver <04672> the men <0120> every <0376> one <0376> into his neighbour's <07453> hand <03027>, and into the hand < 03027> of his king <04428>: and they shall smite <03807> the land <0776>, and out of their hand <03027> I will not deliver <05337> [them].

7 And I will feed <07462> the flock <06629> of slaughter <02028>, [even <03651>] you, O poor <06041> of the flock <06629>. And I took <03947> unto me two <08147> staves <04731>; the one <0259> I called <07121> Beauty <05278>, and the other <0259> I called <07121> Bands < 02256>; and I fed <07462> the flock <06629>.

8 Three <07969> shepherds <07462> also I cut < 03582> off in one <0259> month <03391>; and my soul < 05315> lothed <07114> them, and their soul <05315> also < 01571> abhorred <0973> me.

9 Then said <0559> I, I will not feed <07462> you: that that dieth <04191>, let it die <04191>; and that that is to be cut <03582> off, let it be cut <03582> off; and let the rest <07604> eat <0398> every <0802> one <0802> the flesh <01320> of another <07468>.

10 And I took <03947> my staff <04731>, [even < 0853>] Beauty <05278>, and cut <01438> it asunder, that I might break <06565> my covenant <01285> which <0834> I had made <03772> with all <03605> the people <05971>.

11 And it was broken <06565> in that day <03117>: and so <03651> the poor <06041> of the flock <06629> that waited <08104> upon me knew <03045> that it [was] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.

12 And I said <0559> unto them, If <0518> ye think <05869> good <02896>, give <03051> [me] my price < 07939>; and if <0518> not, forbear <02308>. So they weighed <08254> for my price <07939> thirty <07970> [pieces] of silver <03701>.

13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Cast <07993> it unto the potter <03335>: a goodly <0145> price <03365> that I was prised <03365> at of them. And I took <03947> the thirty <07970> [pieces] of silver <03701>, and cast <07993> them to the potter <03335> in the house < 01004> of the LORD <03068>.

14 Then I cut <01438> asunder mine other <08145> staff <04731>, [even <0853>] Bands <02256>, that I might break <06565> the brotherhood between <0996> Judah < 03063> and Israel <03478>.

15. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Take <03947> unto thee yet <05750> the instruments <03627> of a foolish <0196> shepherd <07462>.

16 For, lo, I will raise <06965> up a shepherd < 07462> in the land <0776>, [which] shall not visit <06485> those that be cut <03582> off, neither <03808> shall seek < 01245> the young <05288> one, nor <03808> heal <07495> that that is broken <07665>, nor <03808> feed <03557> that that standeth <05324> still: but he shall eat <0398> the flesh <01320> of the fat <01277>, and tear <06561> their claws <06541> in pieces.

17 Woe <01945> to the idol <0457> shepherd < 07473> that leaveth <05800> the flock <06629>! the sword <02719> [shall be] upon his arm <02220>, and upon his right <03225> eye <05869>: his arm <02220> shall be clean dried <03001> up, and his right <03225> eye <05869> shall be utterly darkened <03543>.

Zechariah 12

1. The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> for Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, which stretcheth <05186> forth the heavens < 08064>, and layeth the foundation <03248> of the earth < 0776>, and formeth <03335> the spirit <07307> of man < 0120> within <07130> him.

2 Behold <02009>, I will make <07760> Jerusalem < 03389> a cup <05592> of trembling <07478> unto all < 03605> the people <05971> round <05439> about, when they shall be in the siege <04692> both <01571> against < 05921> Judah <03063> [and] against <05921> Jerusalem < 03389>.

3 And in that day <03117> will I make <07760> Jerusalem <03389> a burdensome <04614> stone <068> for all <03605> people <05971>: all <03605> that burden < 06006> themselves with it shall be cut <08295> in pieces, though all <03605> the people <01471> of the earth <0776> be gathered <0622> together against <05921> it.

4 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD < 03068>, I will smite <05221> every <03605> horse < 05483> with astonishment <08541>, and his rider <07392> with madness <07697>: and I will open <06491> mine eyes < 05869> upon the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and will smite <05221> every <03605> horse <05483> of the people <05971> with blindness <05788>.

5 And the governors <0441> of Judah <03063> shall say <0559> in their heart <03820>, The inhabitants < 03427> of Jerusalem <03389> [shall be] my strength <0556> in the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> their God <0430>.

6 In that day <03117> will I make <07760> the governors <0441> of Judah <03063> like an hearth <03595> of fire <0784> among the wood <06086>, and like a torch < 03940> of fire <0784> in a sheaf <05995>; and they shall devour <0398> all <03605> the people <05971> round < 05439> about <01157>, on <05921> the right <03225> hand <03225> and on <05921> the left <08040>: and Jerusalem <03389> shall be inhabited <03427> again < 05750> in her own place <08478>, [even] in Jerusalem <03389> .

7 The LORD <03068> also shall save <03467> the tents <0168> of Judah <03063> first <07223>, that the glory <08597> of the house <01004> of David <01732> and the glory <08597> of the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem < 03389> do not magnify <01431> [themselves] against <05921> Judah <03063>.

8 In that day <03117> shall the LORD <03068> defend <01598> the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>; and he that is feeble <03782> among them at that day <03117> shall be as David <01732>; and the house <01004> of David < 01732> [shall be] as God <0430>, as the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> before <06440> them.

9. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, [that] I will seek <01245> to destroy <08045> all <03605> the nations <01471> that come <0935> against < 05921> Jerusalem <03389>.

10 And I will pour <08210> upon the house <01004> of David <01732>, and upon the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>, the spirit <07307> of grace <02580> and of supplications <08469>: and they shall look <05027> upon me whom they have pierced <01856>, and they shall mourn <05594> for him, as one mourneth <05594> for [his] only <03173> [son], and shall be in bitterness <04843> for him, as one that is in bitterness <04843> for [his] firstborn <01060>.

11 In that day <03117> shall there be a great < 01431> mourning <04553> in Jerusalem <03389>, as the mourning <04553> of Hadadrimmon <01910> in the valley < 01237> of Megiddon <04023>.

12 And the land <0776> shall mourn <05594>, every family <04940> apart <0905>; the family <04940> of the house <01004> of David <01732> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>; the family <04940> of the house <01004> of Nathan <05416> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>;

13 The family <04940> of the house <01004> of Levi <03878> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart < 0905>; the family <04940> of Shimei <08097> apart < 0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>;

14 All <03605> the families <04940> that remain < 07604>, every family <04940> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>.

Zechariah 13

1. In that day <03117> there shall be a fountain < 04726> opened <06605> to the house <01004> of David < 01732> and to the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389> for sin <02403> and for uncleanness <05079>.

2 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635>, [that] I will cut <03772> off the names <08034> of the idols <06091> out of the land <0776>, and they shall no <03808> more <05750> be remembered <02142>: and also < 01571> I will cause the prophets <05030> and the unclean < 02932> spirit <07307> to pass <05674> out of the land < 0776>.

3 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when < 03588> any <0376> shall yet <05750> prophesy <05197>, then his father <02> and his mother <0517> that begat < 03205> him shall say <0559> unto him, Thou shalt not live < 02421>; for thou speakest <01696> lies <08267> in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>: and his father <02> and his mother <0517> that begat <03205> him shall thrust <01856> him through when he prophesieth <05012>.

4 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, [that] the prophets <05030> shall be ashamed <0954> every <0376> one <0376> of his vision <02384>, when he hath prophesied <05012>; neither <03808> shall they wear < 03847> a rough <08181> garment <0155> to deceive < 03884>:

5 But he shall say <0559>, I [am] no <03808> prophet <05030>, I [am] an husbandman <05647>; for man < 0120> taught me to keep <07069> cattle <07069> from my youth <05271>.

6 And [one] shall say <0559> unto him, What <04100> [are] these <0428> wounds <04347> in thine hands <03027> ? Then he shall answer <0559>, [Those] with which <0834> I was wounded <05221> [in] the house <01004> of my friends < 0157>.

7. Awake <05782>, O sword <02719>, against < 05921> my shepherd <07462>, and against <05921> the man < 01397> [that is] my fellow <05997>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: smite <05221> the shepherd < 07462>, and the sheep <06629> shall be scattered <06327>: and I will turn <07725> mine hand <03027> upon the little < 06819> ones.

8 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] in all < 03605> the land <0776>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> , two <08147> parts <06310> therein shall be cut <03772> off [and] die <01478>; but the third <07992> shall be left < 03498> therein.

9 And I will bring <0935> the third <07992> part through the fire <0784>, and will refine <06884> them as silver <03701> is refined <06884>, and will try <0974> them as gold <02091> is tried <0974>: they shall call < 07121> on my name <08034>, and I will hear <06030> them: I will say <0559>, It [is] my people <05971>: and they shall say <0559>, The LORD <03068> [is] my God <0430>.

Zechariah 14

1. Behold <02009>, the day <03117> of the LORD < 03068> cometh <0935>, and thy spoil <07998> shall be divided <02505> in the midst <07130> of thee.

2 For I will gather <0622> all <03605> nations < 01471> against <0413> Jerusalem <03389> to battle < 04421>; and the city <05892> shall be taken <03947>, and the houses <01004> rifled <08155>, and the women <0802> ravished <07693>; and half <02677> of the city <05892> shall go <03318> forth <03318> into captivity <01473>, and the residue <03499> of the people <05971> shall not be cut <03772> off from the city <05892>.

3 Then shall the LORD <03068> go <03318> forth < 03318>, and fight <03898> against those <01992> nations < 01471>, as when <03117> he fought <03898> in the day < 03117> of battle <07128>.

4 And his feet <07272> shall stand <05975> in that day <03117> upon the mount <02022> of Olives <02132>, which <0834> [is] before Jerusalem <03389> on the east < 06924>, and the mount <02022> of Olives <02132> shall cleave <01234> in the midst <02677> thereof toward the east <04217> and toward the west <03220>, [and there shall be] a very <03966> great <01419> valley <01516>; and half < 02677> of the mountain <02022> shall remove <04185> toward the north <06828>, and half <02677> of it toward the south < 05045>.

5 And ye shall flee <05127> [to] the valley <01516> of the mountains <02022>; for the valley <01516> of the mountains <02022> shall reach <05060> unto Azal <0682>: yea, ye shall flee <05127>, like as ye fled <05127> from before <06440> the earthquake <07494> in the days <03117> of Uzziah <05818> king <04428> of Judah <03063>: and the LORD <03068> my God <0430> shall come <0935>, [and] all <03605> the saints <06918> with thee.

6 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, [that] the light <0216> shall not be clear <03368>, [nor] dark <07087>:

7 But it shall be one <0259> day <03117> which < 01931> shall be known <03045> to the LORD <03068>, not day <03117>, nor <03808> night <03915>: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening <06153> time <06256> it shall be light <0216>.

8. And it shall be in that day <03117>, [that] living < 02416> waters <04325> shall go <03318> out from Jerusalem <03389>; half <02677> of them toward <0413> the former <06931> sea <03220>, and half <02677> of them toward < 0413> the hinder <0314> sea <03220>: in summer <07019> and in winter <02778> shall it be.

9 And the LORD <03068> shall be king <04428> over <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>: in that day < 03117> shall there be one <0259> LORD <03068>, and his name <08034> one <0259>.

10 All <03605> the land <0776> shall be turned < 05437> as a plain <06160> from Geba <01387> to Rimmon < 07417> south <05045> of Jerusalem <03389>: and it shall be lifted <07213> up, and inhabited <03427> in her place < 08478>, from Benjamin's <01144> gate <08179> unto the place <04725> of the first <07223> gate <08179>, unto the corner <06434> gate <08179>, and [from] the tower <04026> of Hananeel <02606> unto the king's <04428> winepresses < 03342>.

11 And [men] shall dwell <03427> in it, and there shall be no <03808> more <05750> utter destruction <02764>; but Jerusalem <03389> shall be safely <0983> inhabited < 03427>.

12 And this <02063> shall be the plague <04046> wherewith <0834> the LORD <03068> will smite <05062> all <03605> the people <05971> that have fought <06633> against <05921> Jerusalem <03389>; Their flesh <01320> shall consume <04743> away while they stand <05975> upon their feet <07272>, and their eyes <05869> shall consume < 04743> away in their holes <02356>, and their tongue <03956> shall consume <04743> away in their mouth <06310>.

13 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, [that] a great <07227> tumult <04103> from the LORD <03068> shall be among them; and they shall lay hold <02388> every <0376> one <0376> on the hand <03027> of his neighbour <07453>, and his hand <03027> shall rise < 05927> up against <05921> the hand <03027> of his neighbour <07453>.

14 And Judah <03063> also <01571> shall fight < 03898> at Jerusalem <03389>; and the wealth <02428> of all <03605> the heathen <01471> round <05439> about < 01157> shall be gathered <0622> together, gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, and apparel <0899>, in great <03966> abundance <07230>.

15 And so <03651> shall be the plague <04046> of the horse <05483>, of the mule <06505>, of the camel < 01581>, and of the ass <02543>, and of all <03605> the beasts <0929> that shall be in these <01992> tents < 04264>, as this <02063> plague <04046>.

16. And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] every < 03605> one that is left <03498> of all <03605> the nations <01471> which came <0935> against <05921> Jerusalem < 03389> shall even go <05927> up from year <08141> to year <08141> to worship <07812> the King <04428>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and to keep <02287> the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

17 And it shall be, [that] whoso <0834> will not come < 05927> up of [all] the families <04940> of the earth <0776> unto Jerusalem <03389> to worship <07812> the King < 04428>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, even upon them shall be no <03808> rain <04306>.

18 And if the family <04940> of Egypt <04714> go <05927> not up, and come <0935> not, that [have] no < 03808> [rain]; there shall be the plague <04046>, wherewith < 0834> the LORD <03068> will smite <05062> the heathen < 01471> that come <05927> not up to keep <02287> the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

19 This <02063> shall be the punishment <02403> of Egypt <04714>, and the punishment <02403> of all <03605> nations <01471> that come <05927> not up to keep <02287> the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

20 In that day <03117> shall there be upon the bells < 04698> of the horses <05483>, HOLINESS <06944> UNTO THE LORD <03068>; and the pots <05518> in the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> shall be like the bowls <04219> before < 06440> the altar <04196>.

21 Yea, every <03605> pot <05518> in Jerusalem < 03389> and in Judah <03063> shall be holiness <06944> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: and all <03605> they that sacrifice <02076> shall come <0935> and take <03947> of them, and seethe <01310> therein: and in that day <03117> there shall be no <03808> more <05750> the Canaanite < 03669> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
