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
