Zechariah 1
1. In the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh >, in
the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867
Dar<yavesh >, came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah >, the son
<1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah >, the son <1121 ben >
of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, saying <0559
>amar >,
2 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been sore displeased <7107
qatsaph > with your fathers <1>.
3 Therefore say <0559 >amar > thou unto them, Thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635
tsaba> >; Turn <7725 shuwb > ye unto me, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, and I will turn
<7725 shuwb > unto you, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
4 Be ye not as your fathers <1>, unto whom the former <7223
ri>shown > prophets <5030 nabiy> > have cried <7121 qara> >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Turn <7725 shuwb >
ye now <4994 na> > from your evil <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek >,
and [from] your evil <7451 ra< > doings <4611 ma<alal >: but
they did not hear <8085 shama< >, nor <3808 lo> > hearken <7181
qashab > unto me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
5 Your fathers <1>, where <0346 >ayeh > [are] they? and the
prophets <5030 nabiy> >, do they live <2421 chayah > for ever
<5769 <owlam >?
6 But my words <1697 dabar > and my statutes <2706 choq >,
which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > my servants <5650
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, did they not take <5381
nasag > hold <5381 nasag > of your fathers <1>? and they
returned <7725 shuwb > and said <0559 >amar >, Like as the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > thought <2161 zamam > to
do <6213 <asah > unto us, according to our ways <1870 derek >,
and according to our doings <4611 ma<alal >, so <3651 ken > hath
he dealt <6213 <asah > with us.
7. Upon the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >
day <3117 yowm > of the eleventh month <2320 chodesh >, which
<1931 huw> > [is] the month <2320 chodesh > Sebat <7627 Sh@bat >,
in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius
<1867 Dar<yavesh >, came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah >, the
son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah >, the son <1121 ben
> of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, saying
<0559 >amar >,
8 I saw <7200 ra>ah > by night <3915 layil >, and behold <2009
hinneh > a man <0376 >iysh > riding <7392 rakab > upon a red
<0122 >adom > horse <5483 cuwc >, and he stood <5975 <amad >
among <0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees that [were] in
the bottom <4699 m@tsullah >; and behind <0310 >achar > him
[were there] red <0122 >adom > horses <5483 cuwc >, speckled
<8320 saruq >, and white <3836 laban >.
9 Then said <0559 >amar > I, O my lord <0113 >adown >, what
<4100 mah > [are] these <0428 >el-leh >? And the angel <4397
mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me said <0559 >amar >
unto me, I will shew <7200 ra>ah > thee what <4100 mah > these
<0428 >el-leh > [be].
10 And the man <0376 >iysh > that stood <5975 <amad > among
<0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees answered <6030 <anah
> and said <0559 >amar >, These <0428 >el-leh > [are they] whom
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach >
to walk <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth <0776 >erets
>.
11 And they answered <6030 <anah > the angel <4397 mal>ak > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that stood <5975 <amad > among <0996
beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees, and said <0559 >amar >,
We have walked <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth <0776
>erets >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the earth
<0776 >erets > sitteth <3427 yashab > still, and is at rest
<8252 shaqat >.
12 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, how <5704 <ad > long <5704
<ad > wilt thou not have mercy <7355 racham > on Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > and on the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, against which <0834 >aher > thou hast had
indignation <2194 za<am > these <2088 zeh > threescore <7657
shib<iym. > and ten years <8141 shaneh >?
13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > the
angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me [with]
good <2896 towb > words <1697 dabar > [and] comfortable <5150
nichuwm > words <1697 dabar >.
14 So the angel <4397 mal>ak > that communed <1696 dabar > with
me said <0559 >amar > unto me, Cry <7121 qara> > thou, saying
<0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; I am jealous <7065
qana> > for Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and for Zion <6726
Tsiyown > with a great <1419 gadowl > jealousy <7068 qin>ah >.
15 And I am very sore displeased <7107 qatsaph > with the
heathen <1471 gowy > [that are] at ease <7600 sha>anan >: for I
was but a little <4592 m@<at > displeased <7107 qatsaph >, and
they helped <5826 <azar > forward the affliction <7451 ra< >.
16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I am returned <7725 shuwb > to
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > with mercies <7356 racham >: my
house <1004 bayith > shall be built <1129 banah > in it, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >,
and a line <6957 qav > shall be stretched <5186 natah > forth
upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
17 Cry <7121 qara> > yet <5750 <owd >, saying <0559 >amar >,
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >; My cities <5892 <iyr > through prosperity
<2896 towb > shall yet <5750 <owd > be spread <6327 puwts >
abroad <6527 parat >; and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall yet
<5750 <owd > comfort <5162 nacham > Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and
shall yet <5750 <owd > choose <0977 bachar > Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.
18. Then lifted <5375 nasa> > I up mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and
saw <7200 ra>ah >, and behold <2009 hinneh > four <0702 >arba< >
horns <7161 qeren >.
19 And I said <0559 >amar > unto the angel <4397 mal>ak > that
talked <1696 dabar > with me, What <4100 mah > [be] these <0428
>el-leh >? And he answered <0559 >amar > me, These <0428 >el-leh
> [are] the horns <7161 qeren > which <0834 >aher > have
scattered <2219 zarah > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me four
<0702 >arba< > carpenters <2796 charash >.
21 Then said <0559 >amar > I, What <4100 mah > come <0935 bow>
> these <0428 >el-leh > to do <6213 <asah >? And he spake <0559
>amar >, saying <0559 >amar >, These <0428 >el-leh > [are] the
horns <7161 qeren > which <0834 >aher > have scattered <2219
zarah > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, so that no <3808 lo> > man <0376
>iysh > did lift <5375 nasa> > up his head <7218 ro>sh >: but
these <0428 >el-leh > are come <0935 bow> > to fray <2729 charad
