ZEC 01:01 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 01:02 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
ZEC 01:03 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 01:04 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 01:05 Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do
they live for ever?
ZEC 01:06 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 01:07 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 01:08 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 01:09 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 01:10 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 01:11 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 01:12 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 01:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me
[with] good words [and] comfortable words.
ZEC 01:14 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 01:15 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 01:16 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 01:17 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 01:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
horns.
ZEC 01:19 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 01:20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
ZEC 01:21 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 02:01 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold
a man with a measuring line in his hand.
ZEC 02:02 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 02:03 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went
forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
ZEC 02:04 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 02:05 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 02:06 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 02:07 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the
daughter of Babylon.
ZEC 02:08 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 02:09 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 02:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I
come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
ZEC 02:11 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 02:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the
holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
ZEC 02:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is
raised up out of his holy habitation.
ZEC 03:01 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 03:02 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 03:03 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and
stood before the angel.
ZEC 03:04 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 03:05 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 03:06 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua,
saying,
ZEC 03:07 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 03:08 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 03:09 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
