Zechariah 1

1. In the eighth <8066> month <2320>, in the second <8147> year

<8141> of Darius <1867>, came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD

<3068> unto Zechariah <2148>, the son <1121> of Berechiah <1296>,

the son <1121> of Iddo <5714> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>,

2 The LORD <3068> hath been sore displeased <7107> with your

fathers <1>.

3 Therefore say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559>

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Turn <7725> ye unto me, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and I will turn <7725>

unto you, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

4 Be ye not as your fathers <1>, unto whom the former <7223>

prophets <5030> have cried <7121>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541>

saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Turn <7725> ye now

<4994> from your evil <7451> ways <1870>, and [from] your evil

<7451> doings <4611>: but they did not hear <8085>, nor <3808>

hearken <7181> unto me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

5 Your fathers <1>, where <0346> [are] they? and the prophets

<5030>, do they live <2421> for ever <5769>?

6 But my words <1697> and my statutes <2706>, which <0834> I

commanded <6680> my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, did

they not take <5381> hold <5381> of your fathers <1>? and they

returned <7725> and said <0559>, Like as the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635> thought <2161> to do <6213> unto us, according to

our ways <1870>, and according to our doings <4611>, so <3651>

hath he dealt <6213> with us.

7. Upon the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of the

eleventh month <2320>, which <1931> [is] the month <2320> Sebat

<7627>, in the second <8147> year <8141> of Darius <1867>, came

<1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Zechariah <2148>,

the son <1121> of Berechiah <1296>, the son <1121> of Iddo

<5714> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>,

8 I saw <7200> by night <3915>, and behold <2009> a man <0376>

riding <7392> upon a red <0122> horse <5483>, and he stood

<5975> among <0996> the myrtle <1918> trees that [were] in the

bottom <4699>; and behind <0310> him [were there] red <0122>

horses <5483>, speckled <8320>, and white <3836>.

9 Then said <0559> I, O my lord <0113>, what <4100> [are] these

<0428>? And the angel <4397> that talked <1696> with me said

<0559> unto me, I will shew <7200> thee what <4100> these <0428>

[be].

10 And the man <0376> that stood <5975> among <0996> the myrtle

<1918> trees answered <6030> and said <0559>, These <0428> [are

they] whom <0834> the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> to walk

<1980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

11 And they answered <6030> the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068>

that stood <5975> among <0996> the myrtle <1918> trees, and said

<0559>, We have walked <1980> to and fro through the earth

<0776>, and, behold <2009>, all <3605> the earth <0776> sitteth

<3427> still, and is at rest <8252>.

12 Then the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> answered <6030> and

said <0559>, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, how <5704> long

<5704> wilt thou not have mercy <7355> on Jerusalem <3389> and

on the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, against which <0834> thou

hast had indignation <2194> these <2088> threescore <7657> and

ten years <8141>?

13 And the LORD <3068> answered <6030> the angel <4397> that

talked <1696> with me [with] good <2896> words <1697> [and]

comfortable <5150> words <1697>.

14 So the angel <4397> that communed <1696> with me said <0559>

unto me, Cry <7121> thou, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith

<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; I am jealous <7065> for

Jerusalem <3389> and for Zion <6726> with a great <1419>

jealousy <7068>.

15 And I am very sore displeased <7107> with the heathen <1471>

[that are] at ease <7600>: for I was but a little <4592>

displeased <7107>, and they helped <5826> forward the affliction

<7451>.

16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; I

am returned <7725> to Jerusalem <3389> with mercies <7356>: my

house <1004> shall be built <1129> in it, saith <5002> the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, and a line <6957> shall be stretched

<5186> forth upon Jerusalem <3389>.

17 Cry <7121> yet <5750>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith

<0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; My cities <5892> through

prosperity <2896> shall yet <5750> be spread <6327> abroad

<6527>; and the LORD <3068> shall yet <5750> comfort <5162> Zion

<6726>, and shall yet <5750> choose <0977> Jerusalem <3389>.

18. Then lifted <5375> I up mine eyes <5869>, and saw <7200>,

and behold <2009> four <0702> horns <7161>.

19 And I said <0559> unto the angel <4397> that talked <1696>

with me, What <4100> [be] these <0428>? And he answered <0559>

me, These <0428> [are] the horns <7161> which <0834> have

scattered <2219> Judah <3063>, Israel <3478>, and Jerusalem

<3389>.

20 And the LORD <3068> shewed <7200> me four <0702> carpenters

<2796>.

21 Then said <0559> I, What <4100> come <0935> these <0428> to

do <6213>? And he spake <0559>, saying <0559>, These <0428>

[are] the horns <7161> which <0834> have scattered <2219> Judah

<3063>, so that no <3808> man <0376> did lift <5375> up his head

<7218>: but these <0428> are come <0935> to fray <2729> them, to

cast <3034> out the horns <7161> of the Gentiles <1471>, which

lifted <5375> up [their] horn <7161> over <0413> the land <0776>

of Judah <3063> to scatter <2219> it.

Zechariah 2

1. I lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869> again, and looked <7200>,

and behold <2009> a man <0376> with a measuring <4060> line

<2256> in his hand <3027>.

2 Then said <0559> I, Whither <0575> goest <1980> thou? And he

said <0559> unto me, To measure <4058> Jerusalem <3389>, to see

<7200> what <4100> [is] the breadth <7341> thereof, and what

<4100> [is] the length <0753> thereof.

3 And, behold <2009>, the angel <4397> that talked <1696> with

me went <3318> forth <3318>, and another <0312> angel <4397>

went <3318> out to meet <7125> him,

4 And said <0559> unto him, Run <7323>, speak <1696> to this

<1975> young <5288> man, saying <0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall

be inhabited <3427> [as] towns <6519> without walls for the

multitude <7230> of men <0120> and cattle <0929> therein <8432>:

5 For I, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, will be unto her a wall

<2346> of fire <0784> round <5439> about, and will be the glory

<3519> in the midst <8432> of her.

6. Ho <1945>, ho <1945>, [come forth], and flee <5127> from the

land <0776> of the north <6828>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>:

for I have spread <6566> you abroad <6566> as the four <0702>

winds <7307> of the heaven <8064>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

7 Deliver <4422> thyself, O Zion <6726>, that dwellest <3427>

[with] the daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>.

8 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

After <0310> the glory <3519> hath he sent <7971> me unto the

nations <1471> which spoiled <7997> you: for he that toucheth

<5060> you toucheth <5060> the apple <0892> of his eye <5869>.

9 For, behold <2005>, I will shake <5130> mine hand <3027> upon

them, and they shall be a spoil <7998> to their servants <5647>:

and ye shall know <3045> that the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

hath sent <7971> me.

10. Sing <7442> and rejoice <8055>, O daughter <1323> of Zion

<6726>: for, lo, I come <0935>, and I will dwell <7931> in the

midst <8432> of thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

11 And many <7227> nations <1471> shall be joined <3867> to the

LORD <3068> in that day <3117>, and shall be my people <5971>:

and I will dwell <7931> in the midst <8432> of thee, and thou

shalt know <3045> that the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sent

<7971> me unto thee.

12 And the LORD <3068> shall inherit <5157> Judah <3063> his

portion <2506> in the holy <6944> land <0127>, and shall choose

<0977> Jerusalem <3389> again <5750>.

13 Be silent <2013>, O all <3605> flesh <1320>, before <6440>

the LORD <3068>: for he is raised <5782> up out of his holy

<6944> habitation <4583>.

Zechariah 3

1. And he shewed <7200> me Joshua <3091> the high <1419> priest

<3548> standing <5975> before <6440> the angel <4397> of the

LORD <3068>, and Satan <7854> standing <5975> at <5921> his

right <3225> hand <3225> to resist <7853> him.

2 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, The LORD

<3068> rebuke <1605> thee, O Satan <7854>; even the LORD <3068>

that hath chosen <0977> Jerusalem <3389> rebuke <1605> thee:

[is] not this <2088> a brand <0181> plucked <5337> out of the

fire <0784>?

3 Now Joshua <3091> was clothed <3847> with filthy <6674>

garments <0899>, and stood <5975> before <6440> the angel <4397>.

4 And he answered <6030> and spake <0559> unto those that stood

<5975> before <6440> him, saying <0559>, Take <5493> away <5493>

the filthy <6674> garments <0899> from him. And unto him he said

<0559>, Behold <7200>, I have caused thine iniquity <5771> to

pass <5674> from thee, and I will clothe <3847> thee with change

<4254> of raiment <4254>.

5 And I said <0559>, Let them set <7760> a fair <2889> mitre

<6797> upon his head <7218>. So they set <7760> a fair <2889>

mitre <6797> upon his head <7218>, and clothed <3847> him with

garments <0899>. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> stood

<5975> by.

6 And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> protested <5749> unto

Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>,

7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; If

<0518> thou wilt walk <3212> in my ways <1870>, and if <0518>

thou wilt keep <8104> my charge <4931>, then thou shalt also

<1571> judge <1777> my house <1004>, and shalt also <1571> keep

<8104> my courts <2691>, and I will give <5414> thee places to

walk <4108> among <0996> these <0428> that stand <5975> by.

8. Hear <8085> now <4994>, O Joshua <3091> the high <1419>

priest <3548>, thou, and thy fellows <7453> that sit <3427>

before <6440> thee: for they [are] men <0582> wondered <4159> at:

for, behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> forth <0935> my servant

<5650> the BRANCH <6780>.

9 For behold <2009> the stone <68> that I have laid <5414>

before <6440> Joshua <3091>; upon one <0259> stone <68> [shall

be] seven <7651> eyes <5869>: behold <2005>, I will engrave

<6605> the graving <6603> thereof, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>

of hosts <6635>, and I will remove <4185> the iniquity <5771> of

that land <0776> in one <0259> day <3117>.

10 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>, shall ye call <7121> every man his neighbour <7453>

under <8478> the vine <1612> and under <8478> the fig <8384>

tree.

Zechariah 4

1. And the angel <4397> that talked <1696> with me came <7725>

again <7725>, and waked <5782> me, as a man <0376> that is

wakened <5782> out of his sleep <8142>,

2 And said <0559> unto me, What <4100> seest <7200> thou? And I

said <0559>, I have looked <7200>, and behold <2005> a

candlestick <4501> all <3605> [of] gold <2091>, with a bowl

<1543> upon the top <7218> of it, and his seven <7651> lamps

<5216> thereon <5921>, and seven <7651> pipes <4166> to the

seven <7651> lamps <5216>, which [are] upon the top <7218>

thereof:

3 And two <8147> olive <2132> trees by it, one <0259> upon the

right <3225> [side] of the bowl <1543>, and the other <0259>

upon the left <8040> [side] thereof.

4 So I answered <6030> and spake <0559> to the angel <4397>

that talked <1696> with me, saying <0559>, What <4100> [are]

these <0428>, my lord <0113>?

5 Then the angel <4397> that talked <1696> with me answered

<6030> and said <0559> unto me, Knowest <3045> thou not what

<4100> these <0428> be? And I said <0559>, No <3808>, my lord

<0113>.

6 Then he answered <6030> and spake <0559> unto me, saying

<0559>, This <2088> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto

Zerubbabel <2216>, saying <0559>, Not by might <2428>, nor

<3808> by power <3581>, but by my spirit <7307>, saith <0559>

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

7 Who <4310> [art] thou, O great <1419> mountain <2022>? before

<6440> Zerubbabel <2216> [thou shalt become] a plain <4334>: and

he shall bring <3318> forth <3318> the headstone [thereof with]

shoutings <8663>, [crying], Grace <2580>, grace <2580> unto it.

8 Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

9 The hands <3027> of Zerubbabel <2216> have laid the

foundation <3248> of this <2088> house <1004>; his hands <3027>

shall also finish <1214> it; and thou shalt know <3045> that the

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sent <7971> me unto you.

10 For who <4310> hath despised <0937> the day <3117> of small

<6996> things? for they shall rejoice <8055>, and shall see

<7200> the plummet in the hand <3027> of Zerubbabel <2216>

[with] those <0428> seven <7651>; they [are] the eyes <5869> of

the LORD <3068>, which run <7751> to and fro <7751> through the

whole <3605> earth <0776>.

11. Then answered <6030> I, and said <0559> unto him, What

<4100> [are] these <0428> two <8147> olive <2132> trees upon the

right <3225> [side] of the candlestick <4501> and upon the left

<8040> [side] thereof?

12 And I answered <6030> again <8145>, and said <0559> unto him,

What <4100> [be these] two <8147> olive <2132> branches <7641>

which <0834> through <3027> the two <8147> golden <2091> pipes

<6804> empty <7324> the golden <2091> [oil] out of themselves?

13 And he answered <0559> me and said <0559>, Knowest <3045>

thou not what <4100> these <0428> [be]? And I said <0559>, No

<3808>, my lord <0113>.

14 Then said <0559> he, These <0428> [are] the two <8147>

anointed <3323> ones, that stand <5975> by the Lord <0113> of

the whole <3605> earth <0776>.

Zechariah 5

1. Then I turned <7725>, and lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869>,

and looked <7200>, and behold <2009> a flying <5774> roll <4040>.

2 And he said <0559> unto me, What <4100> seest <7200> thou?

And I answered <0559>, I see <7200> a flying <5774> roll <4040>;

the length <0753> thereof [is] twenty <6242> cubits <0520>, and

the breadth <7341> thereof ten <6235> cubits <0520>.

3 Then said <0559> he unto me, This <2063> [is] the curse

<0423> that goeth <3318> forth <3318> over <5921> the face

<6440> of the whole <3605> earth <0776>: for every <3605> one

that stealeth <1589> shall be cut <5352> off [as] on this <2088>

side according <3644> to it; and every <3605> one that sweareth

<7650> shall be cut <5352> off [as] on that side according

<3644> to it.

4 I will bring <3318> it forth <3318>, saith <5002> the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, and it shall enter <0935> into <0413>

the house <1004> of the thief <1590>, and into <0413> the house

<1004> of him that sweareth <7650> falsely <8267> by my name

<8034>: and it shall remain <3885> in the midst <8432> of his

house <1004>, and shall consume <3615> it with the timber <6086>

thereof and the stones <68> thereof.

5. Then the angel <4397> that talked <1696> with me went <3318>

forth <3318>, and said <0559> unto me, Lift <5375> up now <4994>

thine eyes <5869>, and see <7200> what <4100> [is] this <2063>

that goeth <3318> forth <3318>.

6 And I said <0559>, What <4100> [is] it? And he said <0559>,

This <2063> [is] an ephah <0374> that goeth <3318> forth <3318>.

He said <0559> moreover, This <2063> [is] their resemblance

<5869> through all <3605> the earth <0776>.

7 And, behold <2009>, there was lifted up a talent <3603> of

lead <5777>: and this <2063> [is] a woman <0802> that sitteth

<3427> in the midst <8432> of the ephah <0374>.

8 And he said <0559>, This <2063> [is] wickedness <7564>. And

he cast <7993> it into <0413> the midst <8432> of the ephah

<0374>; and he cast <7993> the weight <68> of lead <5777> upon

the mouth <6310> thereof.

9 Then lifted <5375> I up mine eyes <5869>, and looked <7200>,

and, behold <2009>, there came <3318> out two <8147> women

<0802>, and the wind <7307> [was] in their wings <3671>; for

they had wings <3671> like the wings <3671> of a stork <2624>:

and they lifted <5375> up the ephah <0374> between <0996> the

earth <0776> and the heaven <8064>.

10 Then said <0559> I to the angel <4397> that talked <1696>

with me, Whither <0575> do these <1992> bear <3212> the ephah

<0374>?

11 And he said <0559> unto me, To build <1129> it an house

<1004> in the land <0776> of Shinar <8152>: and it shall be

established <3559>, and set <3240> there <8033> upon her own

base <4369>.

Zechariah 6

1. And I turned <7725>, and lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869>,

and looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, there came <3318> four

<0702> chariots <4818> out from between <0996> two <8147>

mountains <2022>; and the mountains <2022> [were] mountains

<2022> of brass <5178>.

2 In the first <7223> chariot <4818> [were] red <0122> horses

<5483>; and in the second <8145> chariot <4818> black <7838>

horses <5483>;

3 And in the third <7992> chariot <4818> white <3836> horses

<5483>; and in the fourth <7243> chariot <4818> grisled <1261>

and bay <0554> horses <5483>.

4 Then I answered <6030> and said <0559> unto the angel <4397>

that talked <1696> with me, What <4100> [are] these <0428>, my

lord <0113>?

5 And the angel <4397> answered <6030> and said <0559> unto me,

These <0428> [are] the four <0702> spirits <7307> of the heavens

<8064>, which go <3318> forth <3318> from standing <3320> before

<5921> the Lord <0113> of all <3605> the earth <0776>.

6 The black <7838> horses <5483> which <0834> [are] therein go

<3318> forth <3318> into <0413> the north <6828> country <0776>;

and the white <3836> go <3318> forth <3318> after <0310> them;

and the grisled <1261> go <3318> forth <3318> toward <0413> the

south <8486> country <0776>.

7 And the bay <0554> went <3318> forth <3318>, and sought

<1245> to go <3212> that they might walk <1980> to and fro

through the earth <0776>: and he said <0559>, Get <3212> you

hence <3212>, walk <1980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

So they walked <1980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

8 Then cried <2199> he upon me, and spake <1696> unto me,

saying <0559>, Behold <7200>, these that go <3318> toward <0413>

the north <6828> country <0776> have quieted <5117> my spirit

<7307> in the north <6828> country <0776>.

9. And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me,

saying <0559>,

10 Take <3947> of [them of] the captivity <1473>, [even] of

Heldai <2469>, of Tobijah <2900>, and of Jedaiah <3048>, which

<0834> are come <0935> from Babylon <0894>, and come <0935> thou

the same <1931> day <3117>, and go <0935> into the house <1004>

of Josiah <2977> the son <1121> of Zephaniah <6846>;

11 Then take <3947> silver <3701> and gold <2091>, and make

<6213> crowns <5850>, and set <7760> [them] upon the head <7218>

of Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Josedech <3087>, the high

<1419> priest <3548>;

12 And speak <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, Thus <3541>

speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, saying <0559>,

Behold <2009> the man <0376> whose name <8034> [is] The BRANCH

<6780>; and he shall grow <6779> up out of his place <8478>, and

he shall build <1129> the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>:

13 Even he shall build <1129> the temple <1964> of the LORD

<3068>; and he shall bear <5375> the glory <1935>, and shall sit

<3427> and rule <4910> upon his throne <3678>; and he shall be a

priest <3548> upon his throne <3678>: and the counsel <6098> of

peace <7965> shall be between <0996> them both <8147>.

14 And the crowns <5850> shall be to Helem <2494>, and to

Tobijah <2900>, and to Jedaiah <3048>, and to Hen <2581> the son

<1121> of Zephaniah <6846>, for a memorial <2146> in the temple

<1964> of the LORD <3068>.

15 And they [that are] far <7350> off shall come <0935> and

build <1129> in the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, and ye

shall know <3045> that the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sent

<7971> me unto you. And [this] shall come <1961> to pass, if ye

will diligently obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>

your God <0430>.

Zechariah 7

1. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <0702> year <8141>

of king <4428> Darius <1867>, [that] the word <1697> of the LORD

<3068> came <1961> unto Zechariah <2148> in the fourth <0702>

[day] of the ninth <8671> month <2320>, [even] in Chisleu <3691>;

2 When they had sent <7971> unto the house <1008> of God <1008>

Sherezer <8272> and Regemmelech <7278>, and their men <0582>, to

pray <2470> before the LORD <3068>,

3 [And] to speak <0559> unto the priests <3548> which <0834>

[were] in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,

and to the prophets <5030>, saying <0559>, Should I weep <1058>

in the fifth <2549> month <2320>, separating <5144> myself, as I

have done <6213> these <2088> so many years <8141>?

4 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> unto me, saying <0559>,

5 Speak <0559> unto all <3605> the people <5971> of the land

<0776>, and to the priests <3548>, saying <0559>, When <3588> ye

fasted <6684> and mourned <5594> in the fifth <2549> and seventh

<7637> [month], even those <2088> seventy <7657> years <8141>,

did ye at all fast <6684> unto me, [even] to me?

6 And when <3588> ye did eat <0398>, and when <3588> ye did

drink <8354>, did not ye eat <0398> [for yourselves], and drink

<8354> [for yourselves]?

7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words <1697> which <0834> the LORD

<3068> hath cried <7121> by the former <7223> prophets <5030>,

when Jerusalem <3389> was inhabited <3427> and in prosperity

<7961>, and the cities <5892> thereof round <5439> about her,

when [men] inhabited <3427> the south <5045> and the plain

<8219>?

8. And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto

Zechariah <2148>, saying <0559>,

9 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,

saying <0559>, Execute <8199> true <0571> judgment <4941>, and

shew <6213> mercy <2617> and compassions <7356> every man <0376>

to his brother <0251>:

10 And oppress <6231> not the widow <0490>, nor the fatherless

<3490>, the stranger <1616>, nor the poor <6041>; and let none

<0408> of you imagine <2803> evil <7451> against his brother

<0251> in your heart <3824>.

11 But they refused <3985> to hearken <7181>, and pulled <5414>

away the shoulder <3802>, and stopped <3513> their ears <0241>,

that they should not hear <8085>.

12 Yea, they made <7760> their hearts <3820> [as] an adamant

<8068> stone <8068>, lest they should hear <8085> the law <8451>,

and the words <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> hath sent <7971> in his spirit <7307> by the former

<7223> prophets <5030>: therefore came <1961> a great <1419>

wrath <7110> from the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

13 Therefore it is come <1961> to pass, [that] as he cried

<7121>, and they would not hear <8085>; so <3651> they cried

<7121>, and I would not hear <8085>, saith <0559> the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>:

14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind <5590> among <5921>

all <3605> the nations <1471> whom <0834> they knew <3045> not.

Thus the land <0776> was desolate <8074> after <0310> them, that

no man passed <5674> through nor returned <7725>: for they laid

<7760> the pleasant <2532> land <0776> desolate <8047>.

Zechariah 8

1. Again the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

came <1961> [to me], saying <0559>,

2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; I

was jealous <7065> for Zion <6726> with great <1419> jealousy

<7068>, and I was jealous <7065> for her with great <1419> fury

<2534>.

3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; I am returned

<7725> unto Zion <6726>, and will dwell <7931> in the midst

<8432> of Jerusalem <3389>: and Jerusalem <3389> shall be called

<7121> a city <5892> of truth <0571>; and the mountain <2022> of

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> the holy <6944> mountain <2022>.

4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

There shall yet <5750> old <2205> men and old <2205> women dwell

<3427> in the streets <7339> of Jerusalem <3389>, and every man

<0376> with his staff <4938> in his hand <3027> for very <7230>

age <3117>.

5 And the streets <7339> of the city <5892> shall be full

<4390> of boys <3206> and girls <3207> playing <7832> in the

streets <7339> thereof.

6 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; If

<3588> it be marvellous <6381> in the eyes <5869> of the remnant

<7611> of this <2088> people <5971> in these <1992> days <3117>,

should it also <1571> be marvellous <6381> in mine eyes <5869>?

saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

Behold <2005>, I will save <3467> my people <5971> from the east

<4217> country <0776>, and from the west country <0776>;

8 And I will bring <0935> them, and they shall dwell <7931> in

the midst <8432> of Jerusalem <3389>: and they shall be my

people <5971>, and I will be their God <0430>, in truth <0571>

and in righteousness <6666>.

9. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

Let your hands <3027> be strong <2388>, ye that hear <8085> in

these <0428> days <3117> these <0428> words <1697> by the mouth

<6310> of the prophets <5030>, which <0834> [were] in the day

<3117> [that] the foundation <3248> of the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> was laid, that the temple <1964>

might be built <1129>.

10 For before <6440> these <1992> days <3117> there was no

<3808> hire <7939> for man <0120>, nor <0369> any hire <7939>

for beast <0929>; neither <0369> [was there any] peace <7965> to

him that went <3318> out or came <0935> in because <4480> of the

affliction <6862>: for I set <7971> all <3605> men <0120> every

one <0376> against his neighbour <7453>.

11 But now <6258> I [will] not [be] unto the residue <7611> of

this <2088> people <5971> as in the former <7223> days <3117>,

saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

12 For the seed <2233> [shall be] prosperous <7965>; the vine

<1612> shall give <5414> her fruit <6529>, and the ground <0776>

shall give <5414> her increase <2981>, and the heavens <8064>

shall give <5414> their dew <2919>; and I will cause the remnant

<7611> of this <2088> people <5971> to possess <5157> all <3605>

these <0428> [things].

13 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] as ye were a curse

<7045> among the heathen <1471>, O house <1004> of Judah <3063>,

and house <1004> of Israel <3478>; so will I save <3467> you,

and ye shall be a blessing <1293>: fear <3372> not, [but] let

your hands <3027> be strong <2388>.

14 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

As I thought <2161> to punish <7489> you, when your fathers <1>

provoked me to wrath <7107>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>, and I repented <5162> not:

15 So <3651> again <7725> have I thought <2161> in these <0428>

days <3117> to do well <3190> unto Jerusalem <3389> and to the

house <1004> of Judah <3063>: fear <3372> ye not.

16 These <0428> [are] the things that ye shall do <6213>; Speak

<1696> ye every man <0376> the truth <0571> to his neighbour

<7453>; execute <8199> the judgment <4941> of truth <0571> and

peace <7965> in your gates <8179>:

17 And let none <0408> of you imagine evil <7451> in your

hearts <3820> against his neighbour <7453>; and love <0157> no

<3808> false <8267> oath <7621>: for all <3605> these <0428>

[are things] that I hate <8130>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

18. And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> came

<1961> unto me, saying <0559>,

19 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

The fast <6685> of the fourth <7243> [month], and the fast

<6685> of the fifth <2549>, and the fast <6685> of the seventh

<7637>, and the fast <6685> of the tenth <6224>, shall be to the

house <1004> of Judah <3063> joy <8342> and gladness <8057>, and

cheerful <2896> feasts <4150>; therefore love <0157> the truth

<0571> and peace <7965>.

20 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

[It shall] yet <5750> [come to pass], that there shall come

<0935> people <5971>, and the inhabitants <3427> of many <7227>

cities <5892>:

21 And the inhabitants <3427> of one <0259> [city] shall go

<1980> to another <0259>, saying <0559>, Let us go <3212>

speedily <1980> to pray <2470> before the LORD <3068>, and to

seek <1245> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>: I will go <3212>

also <1571>.

22 Yea, many <7227> people <5971> and strong <6099> nations

<1471> shall come <0935> to seek <1245> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> in Jerusalem <3389>, and to pray <2470> before the LORD

<3068>.

23 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; In

those <1992> days <3117> [it shall come to pass], that ten

<6235> men <0582> shall take <2388> hold <2388> out of all

<3605> languages <3956> of the nations <1471>, even shall take

<2388> hold <2388> of the skirt <3671> of him that is a Jew

<3064>, saying <0559>, We will go <3212> with you: for we have

heard <8085> [that] God <0430> [is] with you.

Zechariah 9

1. The burden <4853> of the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> in

the land <0776> of Hadrach <2317>, and Damascus <1834> [shall

be] the rest <4496> thereof: when <3588> the eyes <5869> of man

<0120>, as of all <3605> the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478>,

[shall be] toward the LORD <3068>.

2 And Hamath <2574> also <1571> shall border <1379> thereby;

Tyrus <6865>, and Zidon <6721>, though <3588> it be very <3966>

wise <2449>.

3 And Tyrus <6865> did build <1129> herself a strong <4692>

hold <4692>, and heaped <6651> up silver <3701> as the dust

<6083>, and fine gold <2742> as the mire <2916> of the streets

<2351>.

4 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> will cast <3423> her out, and

he will smite <5221> her power <2428> in the sea <3220>; and she

shall be devoured <0398> with fire <0784>.

5 Ashkelon <0831> shall see <7200> [it], and fear <3372>; Gaza

<5804> also [shall see it], and be very <3966> sorrowful <2342>,

and Ekron <6138>; for her expectation <4007> shall be ashamed

<0954>; and the king <4428> shall perish <6> from Gaza <5804>,

and Ashkelon <0831> shall not be inhabited <3427>.

6 And a bastard <4464> shall dwell <3427> in Ashdod <0795>, and

I will cut <3772> off the pride <1347> of the Philistines <6430>.

7 And I will take <5493> away <5493> his blood <1818> out of

his mouth <6310>, and his abominations <8251> from between

<0996> his teeth <8127>: but he that remaineth <7604>, even

<1571> he, [shall be] for our God <0430>, and he shall be as a

governor <0441> in Judah <3063>, and Ekron <6138> as a Jebusite

<2983>.

8 And I will encamp <2583> about mine house <1004> because of

the army <4675>, because of him that passeth <5674> by, and

because of him that returneth <7725>: and no <3808> oppressor

<5065> shall pass <5674> through them any more <5750>: for now

<6258> have I seen <7200> with mine eyes <5869>.

9. Rejoice <1523> greatly <3966>, O daughter <1323> of Zion

<6726>; shout <7321>, O daughter <1323> of Jerusalem <3389>:

behold <2009>, thy King <4428> cometh <0935> unto thee: he [is]

just <6662>, and having salvation <3467>; lowly <6041>, and

riding <7392> upon an ass <2543>, and upon a colt <5895> the

foal <1121> of an ass <0860>.

10 And I will cut <3772> off the chariot <7393> from Ephraim

<0669>, and the horse <5483> from Jerusalem <3389>, and the

battle <4421> bow <7198> shall be cut <3772> off: and he shall

speak <1696> peace <7965> unto the heathen <1471>: and his

dominion <4915> [shall be] from sea <3220> [even] to sea <3220>,

and from the river <5104> [even] to the ends <0657> of the earth

<0776>.

11 As for thee also <1571>, by the blood <1818> of thy covenant

<1285> I have sent <7971> forth thy prisoners <0615> out of the

pit <0953> wherein [is] no <3808> water <4325>.

12. Turn <7725> you to the strong <1225> hold <1225>, ye

prisoners <0615> of hope <8615>: even <1571> to day <3117> do I

declare <5046> [that] I will render <7725> double <4932> unto

thee;

13 When <3588> I have bent <1869> Judah <3063> for me, filled

<4390> the bow <7198> with Ephraim <0669>, and raised <5782> up

thy sons <1121>, O Zion <6726>, against <5921> thy sons <1121>,

O Greece <3120>, and made <7760> thee as the sword <2719> of a

mighty <1368> man.

14 And the LORD <3068> shall be seen <7200> over <5921> them,

and his arrow <2671> shall go <3318> forth <3318> as the

lightning <1300>: and the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> shall blow

<8628> the trumpet <7782>, and shall go <1980> with whirlwinds

<5591> of the south <8486>.

15 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall defend <1598> them;

and they shall devour <0398>, and subdue <3533> with sling

<7050> stones <68>; and they shall drink <8354>, [and] make a

noise <6963> as through wine <3196>; and they shall be filled

<4390> like bowls <4219>, [and] as the corners <2106> of the

altar <4196>.

16 And the LORD <3068> their God <0430> shall save <3467> them

in that day <3117> as the flock <6629> of his people <5971>: for

they [shall be as] the stones <68> of a crown <5145>, lifted

<5264> up as an ensign <5264> upon his land <0127>.

17 For how <4100> great [is] his goodness <2898>, and how

<4100> great [is] his beauty <3308>! corn <1715> shall make the

young <0970> men cheerful <5107>, and new <8492> wine <8492> the

maids <1330>.

Zechariah 10

1. Ask <7592> ye of the LORD <3068> rain <4306> in the time

<6256> of the latter <4456> rain <4456>; [so] the LORD <3068>

shall make <6213> bright <2385> clouds <2385>, and give <5414>

them showers <1653> of rain <4306>, to every <0376> one <0376>

grass <6212> in the field <7704>.

2 For the idols <8655> have spoken <1696> vanity <0205>, and

the diviners <7080> have seen <2372> a lie <8267>, and have told

<1696> false <7723> dreams <2472>; they comfort <5162> in vain

<1892>: therefore they went <5265> their way as a flock <6629>,

they were troubled <6031>, because <3588> [there was] no <0369>

shepherd <7462>.

3 Mine anger <0639> was kindled <2734> against <5921> the

shepherds <7462>, and I punished <6485> the goats <6260>: for

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath visited <6485> his flock

<5739> the house <1004> of Judah <3063>, and hath made <7760>

them as his goodly <1935> horse <5483> in the battle <4421>.

4 Out of him came <3318> forth <3318> the corner <6438>, out of

him the nail <3489>, out of him the battle <4421> bow <7198>,

out of him every <3605> oppressor <5065> together <3162>.

5. And they shall be as mighty <1368> [men], which tread <0947>

down [their enemies] in the mire <2916> of the streets <2351> in

the battle <4421>: and they shall fight <3898>, because <3588>

the LORD <3068> [is] with them, and the riders <7392> on horses

<5483> shall be confounded <3001>.

6 And I will strengthen <1396> the house <1004> of Judah <3063>,

and I will save <3467> the house <1004> of Joseph <3130>, and I

will bring <7725> them again <7725> to place <3427> them; for I

have mercy <7355> upon them: and they shall be as though <0834>

I had not cast <2186> them off: for I [am] the LORD <3068> their

God <0430>, and will hear <6030> them.

7 And [they of] Ephraim <0669> shall be like a mighty <1368>

[man], and their heart <3820> shall rejoice <8055> as through

wine <3196>: yea, their children <1121> shall see <7200> [it],

and be glad <8056>; their heart <3820> shall rejoice <1523> in

the LORD <3068>.

8 I will hiss <8319> for them, and gather <6908> them; for I

have redeemed <6299> them: and they shall increase <7235> as

they have increased <7235>.

9 And I will sow <2232> them among the people <5971>: and they

shall remember <2142> me in far <4801> countries; and they shall

live <2421> with their children <1121>, and turn <7725> again

<7725>.

10 I will bring <7725> them again <7725> also out of the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714>, and gather <6908> them out of Assyria

<0804>; and I will bring <0935> them into <0413> the land <0776>

of Gilead <1568> and Lebanon <3844>; and [place] shall not be

found <4672> for them.

11 And he shall pass <5674> through the sea <3220> with

affliction <6869>, and shall smite <5221> the waves <1530> in

the sea <3220>, and all <3605> the deeps <4688> of the river

<2975> shall dry <3001> up: and the pride <1347> of Assyria

<0804> shall be brought <3381> down <3381>, and the sceptre

<7626> of Egypt <4714> shall depart <5493> away.

12 And I will strengthen <1396> them in the LORD <3068>; and

they shall walk <1980> up and down in his name <8034>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>.

Zechariah 11

1. Open <6605> thy doors <1817>, O Lebanon <3844>, that the

fire <0784> may devour <0398> thy cedars <0730>.

2 Howl <3213>, fir <1265> tree; for the cedar <0730> is fallen

<5307>; because <0834> the mighty <0117> are spoiled <7703>:

howl <3213>, O ye oaks <0437> of Bashan <1316>; for the forest

<3293> of the vintage <1208> is come <3381> down <3381>.

3 [There is] a voice <6963> of the howling <3213> of the

shepherds <7462>; for their glory <0155> is spoiled <7703>: a

voice <6963> of the roaring <7581> of young <3715> lions <3715>;

for the pride <1347> of Jordan <3383> is spoiled <7703>.

4. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> my God <0430>; Feed

<7462> the flock <6629> of the slaughter <2028>;

5 Whose <0834> possessors <7069> slay <2026> them, and hold

<0816> themselves not guilty <0816>: and they that sell <4376>

them say <0559>, Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068>; for I am

rich <6238>: and their own shepherds <7462> pity <2550> them not.

6 For I will no <3808> more <5750> pity <2550> the inhabitants

<3427> of the land <0776>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: but, lo,

I will deliver <4672> the men <0120> every <0376> one <0376>

into his neighbour's <7453> hand <3027>, and into the hand

<3027> of his king <4428>: and they shall smite <3807> the land

<0776>, and out of their hand <3027> I will not deliver <5337>

[them].

7 And I will feed <7462> the flock <6629> of slaughter <2028>,

[even <3651>] you, O poor <6041> of the flock <6629>. And I took

<3947> unto me two <8147> staves <4731>; the one <0259> I called

<7121> Beauty <5278>, and the other <0259> I called <7121> Bands

<2256>; and I fed <7462> the flock <6629>.

8 Three <7969> shepherds <7462> also I cut <3582> off in one

<0259> month <3391>; and my soul <5315> lothed <7114> them, and

their soul <5315> also <1571> abhorred <0973> me.

9 Then said <0559> I, I will not feed <7462> you: that that

dieth <4191>, let it die <4191>; and that that is to be cut

<3582> off, let it be cut <3582> off; and let the rest <7604>

eat <0398> every <0802> one <0802> the flesh <1320> of another

<7468>.

10 And I took <3947> my staff <4731>, [even <0853>] Beauty

<5278>, and cut <1438> it asunder, that I might break <6565> my

covenant <1285> which <0834> I had made <3772> with all <3605>

the people <5971>.

11 And it was broken <6565> in that day <3117>: and so <3651>

the poor <6041> of the flock <6629> that waited <8104> upon me

knew <3045> that it [was] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.

12 And I said <0559> unto them, If <0518> ye think <5869> good

<2896>, give <3051> [me] my price <7939>; and if <0518> not,

forbear <2308>. So they weighed <8254> for my price <7939>

thirty <7970> [pieces] of silver <3701>.

13 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Cast <7993> it unto

the potter <3335>: a goodly <0145> price <3365> that I was

prised <3365> at of them. And I took <3947> the thirty <7970>

[pieces] of silver <3701>, and cast <7993> them to the potter

<3335> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.

14 Then I cut <1438> asunder mine other <8145> staff <4731>,

[even <0853>] Bands <2256>, that I might break <6565> the

brotherhood between <0996> Judah <3063> and Israel <3478>.

15. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Take <3947> unto

thee yet <5750> the instruments <3627> of a foolish <0196>

shepherd <7462>.

16 For, lo, I will raise <6965> up a shepherd <7462> in the

land <0776>, [which] shall not visit <6485> those that be cut

<3582> off, neither <3808> shall seek <1245> the young <5288>

one, nor <3808> heal <7495> that that is broken <7665>, nor

<3808> feed <3557> that that standeth <5324> still: but he shall

eat <0398> the flesh <1320> of the fat <1277>, and tear <6561>

their claws <6541> in pieces.

17 Woe <1945> to the idol <0457> shepherd <7473> that leaveth

<5800> the flock <6629>! the sword <2719> [shall be] upon his

arm <2220>, and upon his right <3225> eye <5869>: his arm <2220>

shall be clean dried <3001> up, and his right <3225> eye <5869>

shall be utterly darkened <3543>.

Zechariah 12

1. The burden <4853> of the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> for

Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which stretcheth

<5186> forth the heavens <8064>, and layeth the foundation

<3248> of the earth <0776>, and formeth <3335> the spirit <7307>

of man <0120> within <7130> him.

2 Behold <2009>, I will make <7760> Jerusalem <3389> a cup

<5592> of trembling <7478> unto all <3605> the people <5971>

round <5439> about, when they shall be in the siege <4692> both

<1571> against <5921> Judah <3063> [and] against <5921>

Jerusalem <3389>.

3 And in that day <3117> will I make <7760> Jerusalem <3389> a

burdensome <4614> stone <68> for all <3605> people <5971>: all

<3605> that burden <6006> themselves with it shall be cut <8295>

in pieces, though all <3605> the people <1471> of the earth

<0776> be gathered <0622> together against <5921> it.

4 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will

smite <5221> every <3605> horse <5483> with astonishment <8541>,

and his rider <7392> with madness <7697>: and I will open <6491>

mine eyes <5869> upon the house <1004> of Judah <3063>, and will

smite <5221> every <3605> horse <5483> of the people <5971> with

blindness <5788>.

5 And the governors <0441> of Judah <3063> shall say <0559> in

their heart <3820>, The inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>

[shall be] my strength <0556> in the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

their God <0430>.

6 In that day <3117> will I make <7760> the governors <0441> of

Judah <3063> like an hearth <3595> of fire <0784> among the wood

<6086>, and like a torch <3940> of fire <0784> in a sheaf <5995>;

and they shall devour <0398> all <3605> the people <5971> round

<5439> about <1157>, on <5921> the right <3225> hand <3225> and

on <5921> the left <8040>: and Jerusalem <3389> shall be

inhabited <3427> again <5750> in her own place <8478>, [even] in

Jerusalem <3389>.

7 The LORD <3068> also shall save <3467> the tents <0168> of

Judah <3063> first <7223>, that the glory <8597> of the house

<1004> of David <1732> and the glory <8597> of the inhabitants

<3427> of Jerusalem <3389> do not magnify <1431> [themselves]

against <5921> Judah <3063>.

8 In that day <3117> shall the LORD <3068> defend <1598> the

inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>; and he that is feeble

<3782> among them at that day <3117> shall be as David <1732>;

and the house <1004> of David <1732> [shall be] as God <0430>,

as the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> before <6440> them.

9. And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

I will seek <1245> to destroy <8045> all <3605> the nations

<1471> that come <0935> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>.

10 And I will pour <8210> upon the house <1004> of David <1732>,

and upon the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, the spirit

<7307> of grace <2580> and of supplications <8469>: and they

shall look <5027> upon me whom they have pierced <1856>, and

they shall mourn <5594> for him, as one mourneth <5594> for

[his] only <3173> [son], and shall be in bitterness <4843> for

him, as one that is in bitterness <4843> for [his] firstborn

<1060>.

11 In that day <3117> shall there be a great <1431> mourning

<4553> in Jerusalem <3389>, as the mourning <4553> of

Hadadrimmon <1910> in the valley <1237> of Megiddon <4023>.

12 And the land <0776> shall mourn <5594>, every family <4940>

apart <0905>; the family <4940> of the house <1004> of David

<1732> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>; the

family <4940> of the house <1004> of Nathan <5416> apart <0905>,

and their wives <0802> apart <0905>;

13 The family <4940> of the house <1004> of Levi <3878> apart

<0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>; the family <4940>

of Shimei <8097> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart

<0905>;

14 All <3605> the families <4940> that remain <7604>, every

family <4940> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>.

Zechariah 13

1. In that day <3117> there shall be a fountain <4726> opened

<6605> to the house <1004> of David <1732> and to the

inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389> for sin <2403> and for

uncleanness <5079>.

2 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [that] I will cut <3772>

off the names <8034> of the idols <6091> out of the land <0776>,

and they shall no <3808> more <5750> be remembered <2142>: and

also <1571> I will cause the prophets <5030> and the unclean

<2932> spirit <7307> to pass <5674> out of the land <0776>.

3 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] when <3588> any

<0376> shall yet <5750> prophesy <5197>, then his father <2> and

his mother <0517> that begat <3205> him shall say <0559> unto

him, Thou shalt not live <2421>; for thou speakest <1696> lies

<8267> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>: and his father <2>

and his mother <0517> that begat <3205> him shall thrust <1856>

him through when he prophesieth <5012>.

4 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the prophets <5030> shall be ashamed <0954> every <0376> one

<0376> of his vision <2384>, when he hath prophesied <5012>;

neither <3808> shall they wear <3847> a rough <8181> garment

<0155> to deceive <3884>:

5 But he shall say <0559>, I [am] no <3808> prophet <5030>, I

[am] an husbandman <5647>; for man <0120> taught me to keep

<7069> cattle <7069> from my youth <5271>.

6 And [one] shall say <0559> unto him, What <4100> [are] these

<0428> wounds <4347> in thine hands <3027>? Then he shall answer

<0559>, [Those] with which <0834> I was wounded <5221> [in] the

house <1004> of my friends <0157>.

7. Awake <5782>, O sword <2719>, against <5921> my shepherd

<7462>, and against <5921> the man <1397> [that is] my fellow

<5997>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>: smite

<5221> the shepherd <7462>, and the sheep <6629> shall be

scattered <6327>: and I will turn <7725> mine hand <3027> upon

the little <6819> ones.

8 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] in all <3605> the

land <0776>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, two <8147> parts

<6310> therein shall be cut <3772> off [and] die <1478>; but the

third <7992> shall be left <3498> therein.

9 And I will bring <0935> the third <7992> part through the

fire <0784>, and will refine <6884> them as silver <3701> is

refined <6884>, and will try <0974> them as gold <2091> is tried

<0974>: they shall call <7121> on my name <8034>, and I will

hear <6030> them: I will say <0559>, It [is] my people <5971>:

and they shall say <0559>, The LORD <3068> [is] my God <0430>.

Zechariah 14

1. Behold <2009>, the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> cometh

<0935>, and thy spoil <7998> shall be divided <2505> in the

midst <7130> of thee.

2 For I will gather <0622> all <3605> nations <1471> against

<0413> Jerusalem <3389> to battle <4421>; and the city <5892>

shall be taken <3947>, and the houses <1004> rifled <8155>, and

the women <0802> ravished <7693>; and half <2677> of the city

<5892> shall go <3318> forth <3318> into captivity <1473>, and

the residue <3499> of the people <5971> shall not be cut <3772>

off from the city <5892>.

3 Then shall the LORD <3068> go <3318> forth <3318>, and fight

<3898> against those <1992> nations <1471>, as when <3117> he

fought <3898> in the day <3117> of battle <7128>.

4 And his feet <7272> shall stand <5975> in that day <3117>

upon the mount <2022> of Olives <2132>, which <0834> [is] before

Jerusalem <3389> on the east <6924>, and the mount <2022> of

Olives <2132> shall cleave <1234> in the midst <2677> thereof

toward the east <4217> and toward the west <3220>, [and there

shall be] a very <3966> great <1419> valley <1516>; and half

<2677> of the mountain <2022> shall remove <4185> toward the

north <6828>, and half <2677> of it toward the south <5045>.

5 And ye shall flee <5127> [to] the valley <1516> of the

mountains <2022>; for the valley <1516> of the mountains <2022>

shall reach <5060> unto Azal <0682>: yea, ye shall flee <5127>,

like as ye fled <5127> from before <6440> the earthquake <7494>

in the days <3117> of Uzziah <5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063>:

and the LORD <3068> my God <0430> shall come <0935>, [and] all

<3605> the saints <6918> with thee.

6 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the light <0216> shall not be clear <3368>, [nor] dark <7087>:

7 But it shall be one <0259> day <3117> which <1931> shall be

known <3045> to the LORD <3068>, not day <3117>, nor <3808>

night <3915>: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening

<6153> time <6256> it shall be light <0216>.

8. And it shall be in that day <3117>, [that] living <2416>

waters <4325> shall go <3318> out from Jerusalem <3389>; half

<2677> of them toward <0413> the former <6931> sea <3220>, and

half <2677> of them toward <0413> the hinder <0314> sea <3220>:

in summer <7019> and in winter <2778> shall it be.

9 And the LORD <3068> shall be king <4428> over <5921> all

<3605> the earth <0776>: in that day <3117> shall there be one

<0259> LORD <3068>, and his name <8034> one <0259>.

10 All <3605> the land <0776> shall be turned <5437> as a plain

<6160> from Geba <1387> to Rimmon <7417> south <5045> of

Jerusalem <3389>: and it shall be lifted <7213> up, and

inhabited <3427> in her place <8478>, from Benjamin's <1144>

gate <8179> unto the place <4725> of the first <7223> gate

<8179>, unto the corner <6434> gate <8179>, and [from] the tower

<4026> of Hananeel <2606> unto the king's <4428> winepresses

<3342>.

11 And [men] shall dwell <3427> in it, and there shall be no

<3808> more <5750> utter destruction <2764>; but Jerusalem

<3389> shall be safely <0983> inhabited <3427>.

12 And this <2063> shall be the plague <4046> wherewith <0834>

the LORD <3068> will smite <5062> all <3605> the people <5971>

that have fought <6633> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>; Their

flesh <1320> shall consume <4743> away while they stand <5975>

upon their feet <7272>, and their eyes <5869> shall consume

<4743> away in their holes <2356>, and their tongue <3956> shall

consume <4743> away in their mouth <6310>.

13 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

a great <7227> tumult <4103> from the LORD <3068> shall be among

them; and they shall lay hold <2388> every <0376> one <0376> on

the hand <3027> of his neighbour <7453>, and his hand <3027>

shall rise <5927> up against <5921> the hand <3027> of his

neighbour <7453>.

14 And Judah <3063> also <1571> shall fight <3898> at Jerusalem

<3389>; and the wealth <2428> of all <3605> the heathen <1471>

round <5439> about <1157> shall be gathered <0622> together,

gold <2091>, and silver <3701>, and apparel <0899>, in great

<3966> abundance <7230>.

15 And so <3651> shall be the plague <4046> of the horse <5483>,

of the mule <6505>, of the camel <1581>, and of the ass <2543>,

and of all <3605> the beasts <0929> that shall be in these

<1992> tents <4264>, as this <2063> plague <4046>.

16. And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] every <3605> one

that is left <3498> of all <3605> the nations <1471> which came

<0935> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389> shall even go <5927> up

from year <8141> to year <8141> to worship <7812> the King

<4428>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and to keep <2287> the

feast <2282> of tabernacles <5521>.

17 And it shall be, [that] whoso <0834> will not come <5927> up

of [all] the families <4940> of the earth <0776> unto Jerusalem

<3389> to worship <7812> the King <4428>, the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>, even upon them shall be no <3808> rain <4306>.

18 And if the family <4940> of Egypt <4714> go <5927> not up,

and come <0935> not, that [have] no <3808> [rain]; there shall

be the plague <4046>, wherewith <0834> the LORD <3068> will

smite <5062> the heathen <1471> that come <5927> not up to keep

<2287> the feast <2282> of tabernacles <5521>.

19 This <2063> shall be the punishment <2403> of Egypt <4714>,

and the punishment <2403> of all <3605> nations <1471> that come

<5927> not up to keep <2287> the feast <2282> of tabernacles

<5521>.

20 In that day <3117> shall there be upon the bells <4698> of

the horses <5483>, HOLINESS <6944> UNTO THE LORD <3068>; and the

pots <5518> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004> shall be like the

bowls <4219> before <6440> the altar <4196>.

21 Yea, every <3605> pot <5518> in Jerusalem <3389> and in

Judah <3063> shall be holiness <6944> unto the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>: and all <3605> they that sacrifice <2076> shall

come <0935> and take <3947> of them, and seethe <1310> therein:

and in that day <3117> there shall be no <3808> more <5750> the

Canaanite <3669> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>.
