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.
