in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius
<1867 Dar<yavesh > , came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah > ,
the son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah > , the son
<1121 ben > of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,
saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 2 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been sore displeased <7107
qatsaph > with your fathers <1> .
: 3 Therefore say <0559 >amar > thou unto them , Thus <3541
koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > ; Turn <7725 shuwb > ye unto me , saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , and
I will turn <7725 shuwb > unto you , saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .
: 4 Be ye not as your fathers <1> , unto whom the former <7223
ri>shown > prophets <5030 nabiy> > have cried <7121 qara> > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; Turn <7725 shuwb
> ye now <4994 na> > from your evil <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek
> , and [ from ] your evil <7451 ra< > doings <4611 ma<alal >
: but they did not hear <8085 shama< > , nor <3808 lo> >
hearken <7181 qashab > unto me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > .
: 5 Your fathers <1> , where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] they ?
and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > , do they live <2421 chayah >
for ever <5769 <owlam > ?
: 6 But my words <1697 dabar > and my statutes <2706 choq > ,
which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > my servants <5650
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > , did they not take <5381
nasag > hold <5381 nasag > of your fathers <1> ? and they
returned <7725 shuwb > and said <0559 >amar > , Like as the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > thought <2161 zamam
> to do <6213 <asah > unto us , according to our ways <1870
derek > , and according to our doings <4611 ma<alal > , so
<3651 ken > hath he dealt <6213 <asah > with us .
: 7 . Upon the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym
> day <3117 yowm > of the eleventh month <2320 chodesh > ,
which <1931 huw> > [ is ] the month <2320 chodesh > Sebat
<7627 Sh@bat > , in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141
shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > , came <1961 hayah > the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah
<2148 Z@karyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296
Berekyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the
prophet <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 8 I saw <7200 ra>ah > by night <3915 layil > , and behold
<2009 hinneh > a man <0376 >iysh > riding <7392 rakab > upon a
red <0122 >adom > horse <5483 cuwc > , and he stood <5975 <amad
> among <0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees that [ were
] in the bottom <4699 m@tsullah > ; and behind <0310 >achar >
him [ were there ] red <0122 >adom > horses <5483 cuwc > ,
speckled <8320 saruq > , and white <3836 laban > .
: 9 Then said <0559 >amar > I , O my lord <0113 >adown > ,
what <4100 mah > [ are ] these <0428 >el - leh > ? And the
angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me said
<0559 >amar > unto me , I will shew <7200 ra>ah > thee what
<4100 mah > these <0428 >el - leh > [ be ] .
: 10 And the man <0376 >iysh > that stood <5975 <amad > among
<0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees answered <6030 <anah
> and said <0559 >amar > , These <0428 >el - leh > [ are they
] whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971
shalach > to walk <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth
<0776 >erets > .
: 11 And they answered <6030 <anah > the angel <4397 mal>ak >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that stood <5975 <amad > among <0996
beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees , and said <0559 >amar > ,
We have walked <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth
<0776 >erets > , and , behold <2009 hinneh > , all <3605 kol
> the earth <0776 >erets > sitteth <3427 yashab > still , and
is at rest <8252 shaqat > .
: 12 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , O LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , how <5704 <ad > long <5704
<ad > wilt thou not have mercy <7355 racham > on Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > and on the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > , against which <0834 >aher > thou hast had
indignation <2194 za<am > these <2088 zeh > threescore <7657
shib<iym . > and ten years <8141 shaneh > ?
: 13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > the
angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me [ with ]
good <2896 towb > words <1697 dabar > [ and ] comfortable
<5150 nichuwm > words <1697 dabar > .
: 14 So the angel <4397 mal>ak > that communed <1696 dabar >
with me said <0559 >amar > unto me , Cry <7121 qara> > thou ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; I am jealous
<7065 qana> > for Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and for Zion
<6726 Tsiyown > with a great <1419 gadowl > jealousy <7068
qin>ah > .
: 15 And I am very sore displeased <7107 qatsaph > with the
heathen <1471 gowy> [ that are ] at ease <7600 sha>anan > :
for I was but a little <4592 m@<at > displeased <7107 qatsaph > ,
and they helped <5826 <azar > forward the affliction <7451 ra<
> .
: 16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; I am returned <7725 shuwb > to
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > with mercies <7356 racham > : my
house <1004 bayith > shall be built <1129 banah > in it , saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,
and a line <6957 qav > shall be stretched <5186 natah > forth
upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .
: 17 Cry <7121 qara> > yet <5750 <owd > , saying <0559 >amar >
, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; My cities <5892 <iyr > through
prosperity <2896 towb > shall yet <5750 <owd > be spread <6327
puwts > abroad <6527 parat > ; and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
shall yet <5750 <owd > comfort <5162 nacham > Zion <6726 Tsiyown
> , and shall yet <5750 <owd > choose <0977 bachar > Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .
: 18 . Then lifted <5375 nasa> > I up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,
and saw <7200 ra>ah > , and behold <2009 hinneh > four <0702
>arba< > horns <7161 qeren > .
: 19 And I said <0559 >amar > unto the angel <4397 mal>ak >
that talked <1696 dabar > with me , What <4100 mah > [ be ]
these <0428 >el - leh > ? And he answered <0559 >amar > me ,
These <0428 >el - leh > [ are ] the horns <7161 qeren > which
<0834 >aher > have scattered <2219 zarah > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah
> , Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim
> .
: 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me four
<0702 >arba< > carpenters <2796 charash > .
: 21 Then said <0559 >amar > I , What <4100 mah > come <0935
bow> > these <0428 >el - leh > to do <6213 <asah > ? And he
spake <0559 >amar > , saying <0559 >amar > , These <0428 >el -
