ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

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.
