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.
