Zechariah 1

1. In the eighth <08066> month <02320>, in the second <08147>

year <08141> of Darius <01867>, came <01961> the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> unto Zechariah <02148>, the son <01121> of

Berechiah <01296>, the son <01121> of Iddo <05714> the prophet

<05030>, saying <0559>,

2 The LORD <03068> hath been sore displeased <07107> with your

fathers <01>.

3 Therefore say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Turn <07725> ye unto

me, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will

turn <07725> unto you, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>.

4 Be ye not as your fathers <01>, unto whom the former <07223>

prophets <05030> have cried <07121>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Turn <07725> ye

now <04994> from your evil <07451> ways <01870>, and [from] your

evil <07451> doings <04611>: but they did not hear <08085>, nor

<03808> hearken <07181> unto me, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

5 Your fathers <01>, where <0346> [are] they? and the prophets

<05030>, do they live <02421> for ever <05769>?

6 But my words <01697> and my statutes <02706>, which <0834> I

commanded <06680> my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, did

they not take <05381> hold <05381> of your fathers <01>? and

they returned <07725> and said <0559>, Like as the LORD <03068>

of hosts <06635> thought <02161> to do <06213> unto us,

according to our ways <01870>, and according to our doings

<04611>, so <03651> hath he dealt <06213> with us.

7. Upon the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of

the eleventh month <02320>, which <01931> [is] the month <02320>

Sebat <07627>, in the second <08147> year <08141> of Darius

<01867>, came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto

Zechariah <02148>, the son <01121> of Berechiah <01296>, the son

<01121> of Iddo <05714> the prophet <05030>, saying <0559>,

8 I saw <07200> by night <03915>, and behold <02009> a man

<0376> riding <07392> upon a red <0122> horse <05483>, and he

stood <05975> among <0996> the myrtle <01918> trees that [were]

in the bottom <04699>; and behind <0310> him [were there] red

<0122> horses <05483>, speckled <08320>, and white <03836>.

9 Then said <0559> I, O my lord <0113>, what <04100> [are]

these <0428>? And the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me

said <0559> unto me, I will shew <07200> thee what <04100> these

<0428> [be].

10 And the man <0376> that stood <05975> among <0996> the

myrtle <01918> trees answered <06030> and said <0559>, These

<0428> [are they] whom <0834> the LORD <03068> hath sent <07971>

to walk <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

11 And they answered <06030> the angel <04397> of the LORD

<03068> that stood <05975> among <0996> the myrtle <01918> trees,

and said <0559>, We have walked <01980> to and fro through the

earth <0776>, and, behold <02009>, all <03605> the earth <0776>

sitteth <03427> still, and is at rest <08252>.

12 Then the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> answered <06030>

and said <0559>, O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, how <05704>

long <05704> wilt thou not have mercy <07355> on Jerusalem

<03389> and on the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, against

which <0834> thou hast had indignation <02194> these <02088>

threescore <07657> and ten years <08141>?

13 And the LORD <03068> answered <06030> the angel <04397> that

talked <01696> with me [with] good <02896> words <01697> [and]

comfortable <05150> words <01697>.

14 So the angel <04397> that communed <01696> with me said

<0559> unto me, Cry <07121> thou, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; I am jealous

<07065> for Jerusalem <03389> and for Zion <06726> with a great

<01419> jealousy <07068>.

15 And I am very sore displeased <07107> with the heathen

<01471> [that are] at ease <07600>: for I was but a little

<04592> displeased <07107>, and they helped <05826> forward the

affliction <07451>.

16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>;

I am returned <07725> to Jerusalem <03389> with mercies <07356>:

my house <01004> shall be built <01129> in it, saith <05002>

the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and a line <06957> shall be

stretched <05186> forth upon Jerusalem <03389>.

17 Cry <07121> yet <05750>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; My cities <05892>

through prosperity <02896> shall yet <05750> be spread <06327>

abroad <06527>; and the LORD <03068> shall yet <05750> comfort

<05162> Zion <06726>, and shall yet <05750> choose <0977>

Jerusalem <03389>.

18. Then lifted <05375> I up mine eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>,

and behold <02009> four <0702> horns <07161>.

19 And I said <0559> unto the angel <04397> that talked <01696>

with me, What <04100> [be] these <0428>? And he answered <0559>

me, These <0428> [are] the horns <07161> which <0834> have

scattered <02219> Judah <03063>, Israel <03478>, and Jerusalem

<03389>.

20 And the LORD <03068> shewed <07200> me four <0702>

carpenters <02796>.

21 Then said <0559> I, What <04100> come <0935> these <0428> to

do <06213>? And he spake <0559>, saying <0559>, These <0428>

[are] the horns <07161> which <0834> have scattered <02219>

Judah <03063>, so that no <03808> man <0376> did lift <05375> up

his head <07218>: but these <0428> are come <0935> to fray

<02729> them, to cast <03034> out the horns <07161> of the

Gentiles <01471>, which lifted <05375> up [their] horn <07161>

over <0413> the land <0776> of Judah <03063> to scatter <02219>

it.

Zechariah 2

1. I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869> again, and looked

<07200>, and behold <02009> a man <0376> with a measuring

<04060> line <02256> in his hand <03027>.

2 Then said <0559> I, Whither <0575> goest <01980> thou? And he

said <0559> unto me, To measure <04058> Jerusalem <03389>, to

see <07200> what <04100> [is] the breadth <07341> thereof, and

what <04100> [is] the length <0753> thereof.

3 And, behold <02009>, the angel <04397> that talked <01696>

with me went <03318> forth <03318>, and another <0312> angel

<04397> went <03318> out to meet <07125> him,

4 And said <0559> unto him, Run <07323>, speak <01696> to this

<01975> young <05288> man, saying <0559>, Jerusalem <03389>

shall be inhabited <03427> [as] towns <06519> without walls for

the multitude <07230> of men <0120> and cattle <0929> therein

<08432>:

5 For I, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, will be unto her a

wall <02346> of fire <0784> round <05439> about, and will be the

glory <03519> in the midst <08432> of her.

6. Ho <01945>, ho <01945>, [come forth], and flee <05127> from

the land <0776> of the north <06828>, saith <05002> the LORD

<03068>: for I have spread <06566> you abroad <06566> as the

four <0702> winds <07307> of the heaven <08064>, saith <05002>

the LORD <03068>.

7 Deliver <04422> thyself, O Zion <06726>, that dwellest

<03427> [with] the daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894>.

8 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>; After <0310> the glory <03519> hath he sent <07971> me

unto the nations <01471> which spoiled <07997> you: for he that

toucheth <05060> you toucheth <05060> the apple <0892> of his

eye <05869>.

9 For, behold <02005>, I will shake <05130> mine hand <03027>

upon them, and they shall be a spoil <07998> to their servants

<05647>: and ye shall know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> me.

10. Sing <07442> and rejoice <08055>, O daughter <01323> of

Zion <06726>: for, lo, I come <0935>, and I will dwell <07931>

in the midst <08432> of thee, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

11 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall be joined <03867> to

the LORD <03068> in that day <03117>, and shall be my people

<05971>: and I will dwell <07931> in the midst <08432> of thee,

and thou shalt know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635> hath sent <07971> me unto thee.

12 And the LORD <03068> shall inherit <05157> Judah <03063> his

portion <02506> in the holy <06944> land <0127>, and shall

choose <0977> Jerusalem <03389> again <05750>.

13 Be silent <02013>, O all <03605> flesh <01320>, before

<06440> the LORD <03068>: for he is raised <05782> up out of his

holy <06944> habitation <04583>.

Zechariah 3

1. And he shewed <07200> me Joshua <03091> the high <01419>

priest <03548> standing <05975> before <06440> the angel <04397>

of the LORD <03068>, and Satan <07854> standing <05975> at

<05921> his right <03225> hand <03225> to resist <07853> him.

2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan <07854>, The LORD

<03068> rebuke <01605> thee, O Satan <07854>; even the LORD

<03068> that hath chosen <0977> Jerusalem <03389> rebuke <01605>

thee: [is] not this <02088> a brand <0181> plucked <05337> out

of the fire <0784>?

3 Now Joshua <03091> was clothed <03847> with filthy <06674>

garments <0899>, and stood <05975> before <06440> the angel

<04397>.

4 And he answered <06030> and spake <0559> unto those that

stood <05975> before <06440> him, saying <0559>, Take <05493>

away <05493> the filthy <06674> garments <0899> from him. And

unto him he said <0559>, Behold <07200>, I have caused thine

iniquity <05771> to pass <05674> from thee, and I will clothe

<03847> thee with change <04254> of raiment <04254>.

5 And I said <0559>, Let them set <07760> a fair <02889> mitre

<06797> upon his head <07218>. So they set <07760> a fair

<02889> mitre <06797> upon his head <07218>, and clothed <03847>

him with garments <0899>. And the angel <04397> of the LORD

<03068> stood <05975> by.

6 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> protested <05749>

unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,

7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

If <0518> thou wilt walk <03212> in my ways <01870>, and if

<0518> thou wilt keep <08104> my charge <04931>, then thou shalt

also <01571> judge <01777> my house <01004>, and shalt also

<01571> keep <08104> my courts <02691>, and I will give <05414>

thee places to walk <04108> among <0996> these <0428> that stand

<05975> by.

8. Hear <08085> now <04994>, O Joshua <03091> the high <01419>

priest <03548>, thou, and thy fellows <07453> that sit <03427>

before <06440> thee: for they [are] men <0582> wondered <04159>

at: for, behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> forth <0935> my

servant <05650> the BRANCH <06780>.

9 For behold <02009> the stone <068> that I have laid <05414>

before <06440> Joshua <03091>; upon one <0259> stone <068>

[shall be] seven <07651> eyes <05869>: behold <02005>, I will

engrave <06605> the graving <06603> thereof, saith <05002> the

LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will remove <04185> the

iniquity <05771> of that land <0776> in one <0259> day <03117>.

10 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>, shall ye call <07121> every man his neighbour <07453>

under <08478> the vine <01612> and under <08478> the fig <08384>

tree.

Zechariah 4

1. And the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me came

<07725> again <07725>, and waked <05782> me, as a man <0376>

that is wakened <05782> out of his sleep <08142>,

2 And said <0559> unto me, What <04100> seest <07200> thou? And

I said <0559>, I have looked <07200>, and behold <02005> a

candlestick <04501> all <03605> [of] gold <02091>, with a bowl

<01543> upon the top <07218> of it, and his seven <07651> lamps

<05216> thereon <05921>, and seven <07651> pipes <04166> to the

seven <07651> lamps <05216>, which [are] upon the top <07218>

thereof:

3 And two <08147> olive <02132> trees by it, one <0259> upon

the right <03225> [side] of the bowl <01543>, and the other

<0259> upon the left <08040> [side] thereof.

4 So I answered <06030> and spake <0559> to the angel <04397>

that talked <01696> with me, saying <0559>, What <04100> [are]

these <0428>, my lord <0113>?

5 Then the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me answered

<06030> and said <0559> unto me, Knowest <03045> thou not what

<04100> these <0428> be? And I said <0559>, No <03808>, my lord

<0113>.

6 Then he answered <06030> and spake <0559> unto me, saying

<0559>, This <02088> [is] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

unto Zerubbabel <02216>, saying <0559>, Not by might <02428>,

nor <03808> by power <03581>, but by my spirit <07307>, saith

<0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

7 Who <04310> [art] thou, O great <01419> mountain <02022>?

before <06440> Zerubbabel <02216> [thou shalt become] a plain

<04334>: and he shall bring <03318> forth <03318> the headstone

[thereof with] shoutings <08663>, [crying], Grace <02580>, grace

<02580> unto it.

8 Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

9 The hands <03027> of Zerubbabel <02216> have laid the

foundation <03248> of this <02088> house <01004>; his hands

<03027> shall also finish <01214> it; and thou shalt know

<03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971>

me unto you.

10 For who <04310> hath despised <0937> the day <03117> of

small <06996> things? for they shall rejoice <08055>, and shall

see <07200> the plummet in the hand <03027> of Zerubbabel

<02216> [with] those <0428> seven <07651>; they [are] the eyes

<05869> of the LORD <03068>, which run <07751> to and fro

<07751> through the whole <03605> earth <0776>.

11. Then answered <06030> I, and said <0559> unto him, What

<04100> [are] these <0428> two <08147> olive <02132> trees upon

the right <03225> [side] of the candlestick <04501> and upon the

left <08040> [side] thereof?

12 And I answered <06030> again <08145>, and said <0559> unto

him, What <04100> [be these] two <08147> olive <02132> branches

<07641> which <0834> through <03027> the two <08147> golden

<02091> pipes <06804> empty <07324> the golden <02091> [oil] out

of themselves?

13 And he answered <0559> me and said <0559>, Knowest <03045>

thou not what <04100> these <0428> [be]? And I said <0559>, No

<03808>, my lord <0113>.

14 Then said <0559> he, These <0428> [are] the two <08147>

anointed <03323> ones, that stand <05975> by the Lord <0113> of

the whole <03605> earth <0776>.

Zechariah 5

1. Then I turned <07725>, and lifted <05375> up mine eyes

<05869>, and looked <07200>, and behold <02009> a flying <05774>

roll <04040>.

2 And he said <0559> unto me, What <04100> seest <07200> thou?

And I answered <0559>, I see <07200> a flying <05774> roll

<04040>; the length <0753> thereof [is] twenty <06242> cubits

<0520>, and the breadth <07341> thereof ten <06235> cubits

<0520>.

3 Then said <0559> he unto me, This <02063> [is] the curse

<0423> that goeth <03318> forth <03318> over <05921> the face

<06440> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>: for every <03605> one

that stealeth <01589> shall be cut <05352> off [as] on this

<02088> side according <03644> to it; and every <03605> one that

sweareth <07650> shall be cut <05352> off [as] on that side

according <03644> to it.

4 I will bring <03318> it forth <03318>, saith <05002> the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, and it shall enter <0935> into <0413>

the house <01004> of the thief <01590>, and into <0413> the

house <01004> of him that sweareth <07650> falsely <08267> by my

name <08034>: and it shall remain <03885> in the midst <08432>

of his house <01004>, and shall consume <03615> it with the

timber <06086> thereof and the stones <068> thereof.

5. Then the angel <04397> that talked <01696> with me went

<03318> forth <03318>, and said <0559> unto me, Lift <05375> up

now <04994> thine eyes <05869>, and see <07200> what <04100>

[is] this <02063> that goeth <03318> forth <03318>.

6 And I said <0559>, What <04100> [is] it? And he said <0559>,

This <02063> [is] an ephah <0374> that goeth <03318> forth

<03318>. He said <0559> moreover, This <02063> [is] their

resemblance <05869> through all <03605> the earth <0776>.

7 And, behold <02009>, there was lifted up a talent <03603> of

lead <05777>: and this <02063> [is] a woman <0802> that sitteth

<03427> in the midst <08432> of the ephah <0374>.

8 And he said <0559>, This <02063> [is] wickedness <07564>. And

he cast <07993> it into <0413> the midst <08432> of the ephah

<0374>; and he cast <07993> the weight <068> of lead <05777>

upon the mouth <06310> thereof.

9 Then lifted <05375> I up mine eyes <05869>, and looked

<07200>, and, behold <02009>, there came <03318> out two <08147>

women <0802>, and the wind <07307> [was] in their wings <03671>;

for they had wings <03671> like the wings <03671> of a stork

<02624>: and they lifted <05375> up the ephah <0374> between

<0996> the earth <0776> and the heaven <08064>.

10 Then said <0559> I to the angel <04397> that talked <01696>

with me, Whither <0575> do these <01992> bear <03212> the ephah

<0374>?

11 And he said <0559> unto me, To build <01129> it an house

<01004> in the land <0776> of Shinar <08152>: and it shall be

established <03559>, and set <03240> there <08033> upon her own

base <04369>.

Zechariah 6

1. And I turned <07725>, and lifted <05375> up mine eyes

<05869>, and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, there came

<03318> four <0702> chariots <04818> out from between <0996> two

<08147> mountains <02022>; and the mountains <02022> [were]

mountains <02022> of brass <05178>.

2 In the first <07223> chariot <04818> [were] red <0122> horses

<05483>; and in the second <08145> chariot <04818> black <07838>

horses <05483>;

3 And in the third <07992> chariot <04818> white <03836> horses

<05483>; and in the fourth <07243> chariot <04818> grisled

<01261> and bay <0554> horses <05483>.

4 Then I answered <06030> and said <0559> unto the angel

<04397> that talked <01696> with me, What <04100> [are] these

<0428>, my lord <0113>?

5 And the angel <04397> answered <06030> and said <0559> unto

me, These <0428> [are] the four <0702> spirits <07307> of the

heavens <08064>, which go <03318> forth <03318> from standing

<03320> before <05921> the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth

<0776>.

6 The black <07838> horses <05483> which <0834> [are] therein

go <03318> forth <03318> into <0413> the north <06828> country

<0776>; and the white <03836> go <03318> forth <03318> after

<0310> them; and the grisled <01261> go <03318> forth <03318>

toward <0413> the south <08486> country <0776>.

7 And the bay <0554> went <03318> forth <03318>, and sought

<01245> to go <03212> that they might walk <01980> to and fro

through the earth <0776>: and he said <0559>, Get <03212> you

hence <03212>, walk <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

So they walked <01980> to and fro through the earth <0776>.

8 Then cried <02199> he upon me, and spake <01696> unto me,

saying <0559>, Behold <07200>, these that go <03318> toward

<0413> the north <06828> country <0776> have quieted <05117> my

spirit <07307> in the north <06828> country <0776>.

9. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

10 Take <03947> of [them of] the captivity <01473>, [even] of

Heldai <02469>, of Tobijah <02900>, and of Jedaiah <03048>,

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

<0935> thou the same <01931> day <03117>, and go <0935> into the

house <01004> of Josiah <02977> the son <01121> of Zephaniah

<06846>;

11 Then take <03947> silver <03701> and gold <02091>, and make

<06213> crowns <05850>, and set <07760> [them] upon the head

<07218> of Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>,

the high <01419> priest <03548>;

12 And speak <0559> unto him, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

speaketh <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, saying <0559>,

Behold <02009> the man <0376> whose name <08034> [is] The

BRANCH <06780>; and he shall grow <06779> up out of his place

<08478>, and he shall build <01129> the temple <01964> of the

LORD <03068>:

13 Even he shall build <01129> the temple <01964> of the LORD

<03068>; and he shall bear <05375> the glory <01935>, and shall

sit <03427> and rule <04910> upon his throne <03678>; and he

shall be a priest <03548> upon his throne <03678>: and the

counsel <06098> of peace <07965> shall be between <0996> them

both <08147>.

14 And the crowns <05850> shall be to Helem <02494>, and to

Tobijah <02900>, and to Jedaiah <03048>, and to Hen <02581> the

son <01121> of Zephaniah <06846>, for a memorial <02146> in the

temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>.

15 And they [that are] far <07350> off shall come <0935> and

build <01129> in the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, and ye

shall know <03045> that the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath

sent <07971> me unto you. And [this] shall come <01961> to pass,

if ye will diligently obey <08085> the voice <06963> of the LORD

<03068> your God <0430>.

Zechariah 7

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the fourth <0702> year

<08141> of king <04428> Darius <01867>, [that] the word <01697>

of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto Zechariah <02148> in the

fourth <0702> [day] of the ninth <08671> month <02320>, [even]

in Chisleu <03691>;

2 When they had sent <07971> unto the house <01008> of God

<01008> Sherezer <08272> and Regemmelech <07278>, and their men

<0582>, to pray <02470> before the LORD <03068>,

3 [And] to speak <0559> unto the priests <03548> which <0834>

[were] in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>,

and to the prophets <05030>, saying <0559>, Should I weep

<01058> in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, separating <05144>

myself, as I have done <06213> these <02088> so many years

<08141>?

4 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> unto me, saying <0559>,

5 Speak <0559> unto all <03605> the people <05971> of the land

<0776>, and to the priests <03548>, saying <0559>, When <03588>

ye fasted <06684> and mourned <05594> in the fifth <02549> and

seventh <07637> [month], even those <02088> seventy <07657>

years <08141>, did ye at all fast <06684> unto me, [even] to me?

6 And when <03588> ye did eat <0398>, and when <03588> ye did

drink <08354>, did not ye eat <0398> [for yourselves], and drink

<08354> [for yourselves]?

7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words <01697> which <0834> the

LORD <03068> hath cried <07121> by the former <07223> prophets

<05030>, when Jerusalem <03389> was inhabited <03427> and in

prosperity <07961>, and the cities <05892> thereof round <05439>

about her, when [men] inhabited <03427> the south <05045> and

the plain <08219>?

8. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

Zechariah <02148>, saying <0559>,

9 Thus <03541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>, saying <0559>, Execute <08199> true <0571> judgment

<04941>, and shew <06213> mercy <02617> and compassions <07356>

every man <0376> to his brother <0251>:

10 And oppress <06231> not the widow <0490>, nor the fatherless

<03490>, the stranger <01616>, nor the poor <06041>; and let

none <0408> of you imagine <02803> evil <07451> against his

brother <0251> in your heart <03824>.

11 But they refused <03985> to hearken <07181>, and pulled

<05414> away the shoulder <03802>, and stopped <03513> their

ears <0241>, that they should not hear <08085>.

12 Yea, they made <07760> their hearts <03820> [as] an adamant

<08068> stone <08068>, lest they should hear <08085> the law

<08451>, and the words <01697> which <0834> the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> in his spirit <07307> by the

former <07223> prophets <05030>: therefore came <01961> a great

<01419> wrath <07110> from the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

13 Therefore it is come <01961> to pass, [that] as he cried

<07121>, and they would not hear <08085>; so <03651> they cried

<07121>, and I would not hear <08085>, saith <0559> the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>:

14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind <05590> among <05921>

all <03605> the nations <01471> whom <0834> they knew <03045>

not. Thus the land <0776> was desolate <08074> after <0310> them,

that no man passed <05674> through nor returned <07725>: for

they laid <07760> the pleasant <02532> land <0776> desolate

<08047>.

Zechariah 8

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

came <01961> [to me], saying <0559>,

2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

I was jealous <07065> for Zion <06726> with great <01419>

jealousy <07068>, and I was jealous <07065> for her with great

<01419> fury <02534>.

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; I am returned

<07725> unto Zion <06726>, and will dwell <07931> in the midst

<08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and Jerusalem <03389> shall be

called <07121> a city <05892> of truth <0571>; and the mountain

<02022> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> the holy <06944>

mountain <02022>.

4 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

There shall yet <05750> old <02205> men and old <02205> women

dwell <03427> in the streets <07339> of Jerusalem <03389>, and

every man <0376> with his staff <04938> in his hand <03027> for

very <07230> age <03117>.

5 And the streets <07339> of the city <05892> shall be full

<04390> of boys <03206> and girls <03207> playing <07832> in the

streets <07339> thereof.

6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

If <03588> it be marvellous <06381> in the eyes <05869> of the

remnant <07611> of this <02088> people <05971> in these <01992>

days <03117>, should it also <01571> be marvellous <06381> in

mine eyes <05869>? saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>.

7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

Behold <02005>, I will save <03467> my people <05971> from the

east <04217> country <0776>, and from the west country <0776>;

8 And I will bring <0935> them, and they shall dwell <07931> in

the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and they shall be my

people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>, in truth <0571>

and in righteousness <06666>.

9. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

Let your hands <03027> be strong <02388>, ye that hear <08085>

in these <0428> days <03117> these <0428> words <01697> by the

mouth <06310> of the prophets <05030>, which <0834> [were] in

the day <03117> [that] the foundation <03248> of the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> was laid, that the

temple <01964> might be built <01129>.

10 For before <06440> these <01992> days <03117> there was no

<03808> hire <07939> for man <0120>, nor <0369> any hire <07939>

for beast <0929>; neither <0369> [was there any] peace <07965>

to him that went <03318> out or came <0935> in because <04480>

of the affliction <06862>: for I set <07971> all <03605> men

<0120> every one <0376> against his neighbour <07453>.

11 But now <06258> I [will] not [be] unto the residue <07611>

of this <02088> people <05971> as in the former <07223> days

<03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

12 For the seed <02233> [shall be] prosperous <07965>; the vine

<01612> shall give <05414> her fruit <06529>, and the ground

<0776> shall give <05414> her increase <02981>, and the heavens

<08064> shall give <05414> their dew <02919>; and I will cause

the remnant <07611> of this <02088> people <05971> to possess

<05157> all <03605> these <0428> [things].

13 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] as ye were a curse

<07045> among the heathen <01471>, O house <01004> of Judah

<03063>, and house <01004> of Israel <03478>; so will I save

<03467> you, and ye shall be a blessing <01293>: fear <03372>

not, [but] let your hands <03027> be strong <02388>.

14 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>; As I thought <02161> to punish <07489> you, when your

fathers <01> provoked me to wrath <07107>, saith <0559> the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, and I repented <05162> not:

15 So <03651> again <07725> have I thought <02161> in these

<0428> days <03117> to do well <03190> unto Jerusalem <03389>

and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063>: fear <03372> ye not.

16 These <0428> [are] the things that ye shall do <06213>;

Speak <01696> ye every man <0376> the truth <0571> to his

neighbour <07453>; execute <08199> the judgment <04941> of truth

<0571> and peace <07965> in your gates <08179>:

17 And let none <0408> of you imagine evil <07451> in your

hearts <03820> against his neighbour <07453>; and love <0157> no

<03808> false <08267> oath <07621>: for all <03605> these <0428>

[are things] that I hate <08130>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

18. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

19 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

The fast <06685> of the fourth <07243> [month], and the fast

<06685> of the fifth <02549>, and the fast <06685> of the

seventh <07637>, and the fast <06685> of the tenth <06224>,

shall be to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> joy <08342> and

gladness <08057>, and cheerful <02896> feasts <04150>; therefore

love <0157> the truth <0571> and peace <07965>.

20 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

[It shall] yet <05750> [come to pass], that there shall come

<0935> people <05971>, and the inhabitants <03427> of many

<07227> cities <05892>:

21 And the inhabitants <03427> of one <0259> [city] shall go

<01980> to another <0259>, saying <0559>, Let us go <03212>

speedily <01980> to pray <02470> before the LORD <03068>, and to

seek <01245> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: I will go

<03212> also <01571>.

22 Yea, many <07227> people <05971> and strong <06099> nations

<01471> shall come <0935> to seek <01245> the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> in Jerusalem <03389>, and to pray <02470> before

the LORD <03068>.

23 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;

In those <01992> days <03117> [it shall come to pass], that ten

<06235> men <0582> shall take <02388> hold <02388> out of all

<03605> languages <03956> of the nations <01471>, even shall

take <02388> hold <02388> of the skirt <03671> of him that is a

Jew <03064>, saying <0559>, We will go <03212> with you: for we

have heard <08085> [that] God <0430> [is] with you.

Zechariah 9

1. The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

in the land <0776> of Hadrach <02317>, and Damascus <01834>

[shall be] the rest <04496> thereof: when <03588> the eyes

<05869> of man <0120>, as of all <03605> the tribes <07626> of

Israel <03478>, [shall be] toward the LORD <03068>.

2 And Hamath <02574> also <01571> shall border <01379> thereby;

Tyrus <06865>, and Zidon <06721>, though <03588> it be very

<03966> wise <02449>.

3 And Tyrus <06865> did build <01129> herself a strong <04692>

hold <04692>, and heaped <06651> up silver <03701> as the dust

<06083>, and fine gold <02742> as the mire <02916> of the

streets <02351>.

4 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> will cast <03423> her out,

and he will smite <05221> her power <02428> in the sea <03220>;

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

5 Ashkelon <0831> shall see <07200> [it], and fear <03372>;

Gaza <05804> also [shall see it], and be very <03966> sorrowful

<02342>, and Ekron <06138>; for her expectation <04007> shall be

ashamed <0954>; and the king <04428> shall perish <06> from Gaza

<05804>, and Ashkelon <0831> shall not be inhabited <03427>.

6 And a bastard <04464> shall dwell <03427> in Ashdod <0795>,

and I will cut <03772> off the pride <01347> of the Philistines

<06430>.

7 And I will take <05493> away <05493> his blood <01818> out of

his mouth <06310>, and his abominations <08251> from between

<0996> his teeth <08127>: but he that remaineth <07604>, even

<01571> he, [shall be] for our God <0430>, and he shall be as a

governor <0441> in Judah <03063>, and Ekron <06138> as a

Jebusite <02983>.

8 And I will encamp <02583> about mine house <01004> because of

the army <04675>, because of him that passeth <05674> by, and

because of him that returneth <07725>: and no <03808> oppressor

<05065> shall pass <05674> through them any more <05750>: for

now <06258> have I seen <07200> with mine eyes <05869>.

9. Rejoice <01523> greatly <03966>, O daughter <01323> of Zion

<06726>; shout <07321>, O daughter <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>:

behold <02009>, thy King <04428> cometh <0935> unto thee: he

[is] just <06662>, and having salvation <03467>; lowly <06041>,

and riding <07392> upon an ass <02543>, and upon a colt <05895>

the foal <01121> of an ass <0860>.

10 And I will cut <03772> off the chariot <07393> from Ephraim

<0669>, and the horse <05483> from Jerusalem <03389>, and the

battle <04421> bow <07198> shall be cut <03772> off: and he

shall speak <01696> peace <07965> unto the heathen <01471>: and

his dominion <04915> [shall be] from sea <03220> [even] to sea

<03220>, and from the river <05104> [even] to the ends <0657> of

the earth <0776>.

11 As for thee also <01571>, by the blood <01818> of thy

covenant <01285> I have sent <07971> forth thy prisoners <0615>

out of the pit <0953> wherein [is] no <03808> water <04325>.

12. Turn <07725> you to the strong <01225> hold <01225>, ye

prisoners <0615> of hope <08615>: even <01571> to day <03117> do

I declare <05046> [that] I will render <07725> double <04932>

unto thee;

13 When <03588> I have bent <01869> Judah <03063> for me,

filled <04390> the bow <07198> with Ephraim <0669>, and raised

<05782> up thy sons <01121>, O Zion <06726>, against <05921> thy

sons <01121>, O Greece <03120>, and made <07760> thee as the

sword <02719> of a mighty <01368> man.

14 And the LORD <03068> shall be seen <07200> over <05921> them,

and his arrow <02671> shall go <03318> forth <03318> as the

lightning <01300>: and the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> shall blow

<08628> the trumpet <07782>, and shall go <01980> with

whirlwinds <05591> of the south <08486>.

15 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall defend <01598> them;

and they shall devour <0398>, and subdue <03533> with sling

<07050> stones <068>; and they shall drink <08354>, [and] make a

noise <06963> as through wine <03196>; and they shall be filled

<04390> like bowls <04219>, [and] as the corners <02106> of the

altar <04196>.

16 And the LORD <03068> their God <0430> shall save <03467>

them in that day <03117> as the flock <06629> of his people

<05971>: for they [shall be as] the stones <068> of a crown

<05145>, lifted <05264> up as an ensign <05264> upon his land

<0127>.

17 For how <04100> great [is] his goodness <02898>, and how

<04100> great [is] his beauty <03308>! corn <01715> shall make

the young <0970> men cheerful <05107>, and new <08492> wine

<08492> the maids <01330>.

Zechariah 10

1. Ask <07592> ye of the LORD <03068> rain <04306> in the time

<06256> of the latter <04456> rain <04456>; [so] the LORD

<03068> shall make <06213> bright <02385> clouds <02385>, and

give <05414> them showers <01653> of rain <04306>, to every

<0376> one <0376> grass <06212> in the field <07704>.

2 For the idols <08655> have spoken <01696> vanity <0205>, and

the diviners <07080> have seen <02372> a lie <08267>, and have

told <01696> false <07723> dreams <02472>; they comfort <05162>

in vain <01892>: therefore they went <05265> their way as a

flock <06629>, they were troubled <06031>, because <03588>

[there was] no <0369> shepherd <07462>.

3 Mine anger <0639> was kindled <02734> against <05921> the

shepherds <07462>, and I punished <06485> the goats <06260>: for

the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath visited <06485> his flock

<05739> the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and hath made

<07760> them as his goodly <01935> horse <05483> in the battle

<04421>.

4 Out of him came <03318> forth <03318> the corner <06438>, out

of him the nail <03489>, out of him the battle <04421> bow

<07198>, out of him every <03605> oppressor <05065> together

<03162>.

5. And they shall be as mighty <01368> [men], which tread

<0947> down [their enemies] in the mire <02916> of the streets

<02351> in the battle <04421>: and they shall fight <03898>,

because <03588> the LORD <03068> [is] with them, and the riders

<07392> on horses <05483> shall be confounded <03001>.

6 And I will strengthen <01396> the house <01004> of Judah

<03063>, and I will save <03467> the house <01004> of Joseph

<03130>, and I will bring <07725> them again <07725> to place

<03427> them; for I have mercy <07355> upon them: and they shall

be as though <0834> I had not cast <02186> them off: for I [am]

the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and will hear <06030> them.

7 And [they of] Ephraim <0669> shall be like a mighty <01368>

[man], and their heart <03820> shall rejoice <08055> as through

wine <03196>: yea, their children <01121> shall see <07200> [it],

and be glad <08056>; their heart <03820> shall rejoice <01523>

in the LORD <03068>.

8 I will hiss <08319> for them, and gather <06908> them; for I

have redeemed <06299> them: and they shall increase <07235> as

they have increased <07235>.

9 And I will sow <02232> them among the people <05971>: and

they shall remember <02142> me in far <04801> countries; and

they shall live <02421> with their children <01121>, and turn

<07725> again <07725>.

10 I will bring <07725> them again <07725> also out of the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>, and gather <06908> them out of Assyria

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

of Gilead <01568> and Lebanon <03844>; and [place] shall not be

found <04672> for them.

11 And he shall pass <05674> through the sea <03220> with

affliction <06869>, and shall smite <05221> the waves <01530> in

the sea <03220>, and all <03605> the deeps <04688> of the river

<02975> shall dry <03001> up: and the pride <01347> of Assyria

<0804> shall be brought <03381> down <03381>, and the sceptre

<07626> of Egypt <04714> shall depart <05493> away.

12 And I will strengthen <01396> them in the LORD <03068>; and

they shall walk <01980> up and down in his name <08034>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>.

Zechariah 11

1. Open <06605> thy doors <01817>, O Lebanon <03844>, that the

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

2 Howl <03213>, fir <01265> tree; for the cedar <0730> is

fallen <05307>; because <0834> the mighty <0117> are spoiled

<07703>: howl <03213>, O ye oaks <0437> of Bashan <01316>; for

the forest <03293> of the vintage <01208> is come <03381> down

<03381>.

3 [There is] a voice <06963> of the howling <03213> of the

shepherds <07462>; for their glory <0155> is spoiled <07703>: a

voice <06963> of the roaring <07581> of young <03715> lions

<03715>; for the pride <01347> of Jordan <03383> is spoiled

<07703>.

4. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> my God <0430>;

Feed <07462> the flock <06629> of the slaughter <02028>;

5 Whose <0834> possessors <07069> slay <02026> them, and hold

<0816> themselves not guilty <0816>: and they that sell <04376>

them say <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>; for I am

rich <06238>: and their own shepherds <07462> pity <02550> them

not.

6 For I will no <03808> more <05750> pity <02550> the

inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>, saith <05002> the LORD

<03068>: but, lo, I will deliver <04672> the men <0120> every

<0376> one <0376> into his neighbour's <07453> hand <03027>, and

into the hand <03027> of his king <04428>: and they shall smite

<03807> the land <0776>, and out of their hand <03027> I will

not deliver <05337> [them].

7 And I will feed <07462> the flock <06629> of slaughter

<02028>, [even <03651>] you, O poor <06041> of the flock <06629>.

And I took <03947> unto me two <08147> staves <04731>; the one

<0259> I called <07121> Beauty <05278>, and the other <0259> I

called <07121> Bands <02256>; and I fed <07462> the flock

<06629>.

8 Three <07969> shepherds <07462> also I cut <03582> off in one

<0259> month <03391>; and my soul <05315> lothed <07114> them,

and their soul <05315> also <01571> abhorred <0973> me.

9 Then said <0559> I, I will not feed <07462> you: that that

dieth <04191>, let it die <04191>; and that that is to be cut

<03582> off, let it be cut <03582> off; and let the rest <07604>

eat <0398> every <0802> one <0802> the flesh <01320> of another

<07468>.

10 And I took <03947> my staff <04731>, [even <0853>] Beauty

<05278>, and cut <01438> it asunder, that I might break <06565>

my covenant <01285> which <0834> I had made <03772> with all

<03605> the people <05971>.

11 And it was broken <06565> in that day <03117>: and so

<03651> the poor <06041> of the flock <06629> that waited

<08104> upon me knew <03045> that it [was] the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068>.

12 And I said <0559> unto them, If <0518> ye think <05869> good

<02896>, give <03051> [me] my price <07939>; and if <0518> not,

forbear <02308>. So they weighed <08254> for my price <07939>

thirty <07970> [pieces] of silver <03701>.

13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Cast <07993> it

unto the potter <03335>: a goodly <0145> price <03365> that I

was prised <03365> at of them. And I took <03947> the thirty

<07970> [pieces] of silver <03701>, and cast <07993> them to the

potter <03335> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

14 Then I cut <01438> asunder mine other <08145> staff <04731>,

[even <0853>] Bands <02256>, that I might break <06565> the

brotherhood between <0996> Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>.

15. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Take <03947> unto

thee yet <05750> the instruments <03627> of a foolish <0196>

shepherd <07462>.

16 For, lo, I will raise <06965> up a shepherd <07462> in the

land <0776>, [which] shall not visit <06485> those that be cut

<03582> off, neither <03808> shall seek <01245> the young

<05288> one, nor <03808> heal <07495> that that is broken

<07665>, nor <03808> feed <03557> that that standeth <05324>

still: but he shall eat <0398> the flesh <01320> of the fat

<01277>, and tear <06561> their claws <06541> in pieces.

17 Woe <01945> to the idol <0457> shepherd <07473> that leaveth

<05800> the flock <06629>! the sword <02719> [shall be] upon his

arm <02220>, and upon his right <03225> eye <05869>: his arm

<02220> shall be clean dried <03001> up, and his right <03225>

eye <05869> shall be utterly darkened <03543>.

Zechariah 12

1. The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

for Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, which

stretcheth <05186> forth the heavens <08064>, and layeth the

foundation <03248> of the earth <0776>, and formeth <03335> the

spirit <07307> of man <0120> within <07130> him.

2 Behold <02009>, I will make <07760> Jerusalem <03389> a cup

<05592> of trembling <07478> unto all <03605> the people <05971>

round <05439> about, when they shall be in the siege <04692>

both <01571> against <05921> Judah <03063> [and] against <05921>

Jerusalem <03389>.

3 And in that day <03117> will I make <07760> Jerusalem <03389>

a burdensome <04614> stone <068> for all <03605> people <05971>:

all <03605> that burden <06006> themselves with it shall be cut

<08295> in pieces, though all <03605> the people <01471> of the

earth <0776> be gathered <0622> together against <05921> it.

4 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, I will

smite <05221> every <03605> horse <05483> with astonishment

<08541>, and his rider <07392> with madness <07697>: and I will

open <06491> mine eyes <05869> upon the house <01004> of Judah

<03063>, and will smite <05221> every <03605> horse <05483> of

the people <05971> with blindness <05788>.

5 And the governors <0441> of Judah <03063> shall say <0559> in

their heart <03820>, The inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem

<03389> [shall be] my strength <0556> in the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> their God <0430>.

6 In that day <03117> will I make <07760> the governors <0441>

of Judah <03063> like an hearth <03595> of fire <0784> among the

wood <06086>, and like a torch <03940> of fire <0784> in a sheaf

<05995>; and they shall devour <0398> all <03605> the people

<05971> round <05439> about <01157>, on <05921> the right

<03225> hand <03225> and on <05921> the left <08040>: and

Jerusalem <03389> shall be inhabited <03427> again <05750> in

her own place <08478>, [even] in Jerusalem <03389>.

7 The LORD <03068> also shall save <03467> the tents <0168> of

Judah <03063> first <07223>, that the glory <08597> of the house

<01004> of David <01732> and the glory <08597> of the

inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389> do not magnify <01431>

[themselves] against <05921> Judah <03063>.

8 In that day <03117> shall the LORD <03068> defend <01598> the

inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>; and he that is feeble

<03782> among them at that day <03117> shall be as David <01732>;

and the house <01004> of David <01732> [shall be] as God <0430>,

as the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> before <06440> them.

9. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] I will seek <01245> to destroy <08045> all <03605> the

nations <01471> that come <0935> against <05921> Jerusalem

<03389>.

10 And I will pour <08210> upon the house <01004> of David

<01732>, and upon the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>,

the spirit <07307> of grace <02580> and of supplications <08469>:

and they shall look <05027> upon me whom they have pierced

<01856>, and they shall mourn <05594> for him, as one mourneth

<05594> for [his] only <03173> [son], and shall be in bitterness

<04843> for him, as one that is in bitterness <04843> for [his]

firstborn <01060>.

11 In that day <03117> shall there be a great <01431> mourning

<04553> in Jerusalem <03389>, as the mourning <04553> of

Hadadrimmon <01910> in the valley <01237> of Megiddon <04023>.

12 And the land <0776> shall mourn <05594>, every family

<04940> apart <0905>; the family <04940> of the house <01004> of

David <01732> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>;

the family <04940> of the house <01004> of Nathan <05416> apart

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

13 The family <04940> of the house <01004> of Levi <03878>

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

<04940> of Shimei <08097> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802>

apart <0905>;

14 All <03605> the families <04940> that remain <07604>, every

family <04940> apart <0905>, and their wives <0802> apart <0905>.

Zechariah 13

1. In that day <03117> there shall be a fountain <04726> opened

<06605> to the house <01004> of David <01732> and to the

inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389> for sin <02403> and for

uncleanness <05079>.

2 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, [that] I will cut

<03772> off the names <08034> of the idols <06091> out of the

land <0776>, and they shall no <03808> more <05750> be

remembered <02142>: and also <01571> I will cause the prophets

<05030> and the unclean <02932> spirit <07307> to pass <05674>

out of the land <0776>.

3 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when <03588> any

<0376> shall yet <05750> prophesy <05197>, then his father <02>

and his mother <0517> that begat <03205> him shall say <0559>

unto him, Thou shalt not live <02421>; for thou speakest <01696>

lies <08267> in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>: and his

father <02> and his mother <0517> that begat <03205> him shall

thrust <01856> him through when he prophesieth <05012>.

4 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, [that]

the prophets <05030> shall be ashamed <0954> every <0376> one

<0376> of his vision <02384>, when he hath prophesied <05012>;

neither <03808> shall they wear <03847> a rough <08181> garment

<0155> to deceive <03884>:

5 But he shall say <0559>, I [am] no <03808> prophet <05030>, I

[am] an husbandman <05647>; for man <0120> taught me to keep

<07069> cattle <07069> from my youth <05271>.

6 And [one] shall say <0559> unto him, What <04100> [are] these

<0428> wounds <04347> in thine hands <03027>? Then he shall

answer <0559>, [Those] with which <0834> I was wounded <05221>

[in] the house <01004> of my friends <0157>.

7. Awake <05782>, O sword <02719>, against <05921> my shepherd

<07462>, and against <05921> the man <01397> [that is] my fellow

<05997>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: smite

<05221> the shepherd <07462>, and the sheep <06629> shall be

scattered <06327>: and I will turn <07725> mine hand <03027>

upon the little <06819> ones.

8 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] in all <03605> the

land <0776>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, two <08147> parts

<06310> therein shall be cut <03772> off [and] die <01478>; but

the third <07992> shall be left <03498> therein.

9 And I will bring <0935> the third <07992> part through the

fire <0784>, and will refine <06884> them as silver <03701> is

refined <06884>, and will try <0974> them as gold <02091> is

tried <0974>: they shall call <07121> on my name <08034>, and I

will hear <06030> them: I will say <0559>, It [is] my people

<05971>: and they shall say <0559>, The LORD <03068> [is] my God

<0430>.

Zechariah 14

1. Behold <02009>, the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> cometh

<0935>, and thy spoil <07998> shall be divided <02505> in the

midst <07130> of thee.

2 For I will gather <0622> all <03605> nations <01471> against

<0413> Jerusalem <03389> to battle <04421>; and the city <05892>

shall be taken <03947>, and the houses <01004> rifled <08155>,

and the women <0802> ravished <07693>; and half <02677> of the

city <05892> shall go <03318> forth <03318> into captivity

<01473>, and the residue <03499> of the people <05971> shall not

be cut <03772> off from the city <05892>.

3 Then shall the LORD <03068> go <03318> forth <03318>, and

fight <03898> against those <01992> nations <01471>, as when

<03117> he fought <03898> in the day <03117> of battle <07128>.

4 And his feet <07272> shall stand <05975> in that day <03117>

upon the mount <02022> of Olives <02132>, which <0834> [is]

before Jerusalem <03389> on the east <06924>, and the mount

<02022> of Olives <02132> shall cleave <01234> in the midst

<02677> thereof toward the east <04217> and toward the west

<03220>, [and there shall be] a very <03966> great <01419>

valley <01516>; and half <02677> of the mountain <02022> shall

remove <04185> toward the north <06828>, and half <02677> of it

toward the south <05045>.

5 And ye shall flee <05127> [to] the valley <01516> of the

mountains <02022>; for the valley <01516> of the mountains

<02022> shall reach <05060> unto Azal <0682>: yea, ye shall flee

<05127>, like as ye fled <05127> from before <06440> the

earthquake <07494> in the days <03117> of Uzziah <05818> king

<04428> of Judah <03063>: and the LORD <03068> my God <0430>

shall come <0935>, [and] all <03605> the saints <06918> with

thee.

6 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, [that]

the light <0216> shall not be clear <03368>, [nor] dark <07087>:

7 But it shall be one <0259> day <03117> which <01931> shall be

known <03045> to the LORD <03068>, not day <03117>, nor <03808>

night <03915>: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening

<06153> time <06256> it shall be light <0216>.

8. And it shall be in that day <03117>, [that] living <02416>

waters <04325> shall go <03318> out from Jerusalem <03389>; half

<02677> of them toward <0413> the former <06931> sea <03220>,

and half <02677> of them toward <0413> the hinder <0314> sea

<03220>: in summer <07019> and in winter <02778> shall it be.

9 And the LORD <03068> shall be king <04428> over <05921> all

<03605> the earth <0776>: in that day <03117> shall there be one

<0259> LORD <03068>, and his name <08034> one <0259>.

10 All <03605> the land <0776> shall be turned <05437> as a

plain <06160> from Geba <01387> to Rimmon <07417> south <05045>

of Jerusalem <03389>: and it shall be lifted <07213> up, and

inhabited <03427> in her place <08478>, from Benjamin's <01144>

gate <08179> unto the place <04725> of the first <07223> gate

<08179>, unto the corner <06434> gate <08179>, and [from] the

tower <04026> of Hananeel <02606> unto the king's <04428>

winepresses <03342>.

11 And [men] shall dwell <03427> in it, and there shall be no

<03808> more <05750> utter destruction <02764>; but Jerusalem

<03389> shall be safely <0983> inhabited <03427>.

12 And this <02063> shall be the plague <04046> wherewith

<0834> the LORD <03068> will smite <05062> all <03605> the

people <05971> that have fought <06633> against <05921>

Jerusalem <03389>; Their flesh <01320> shall consume <04743>

away while they stand <05975> upon their feet <07272>, and their

eyes <05869> shall consume <04743> away in their holes <02356>,

and their tongue <03956> shall consume <04743> away in their

mouth <06310>.

13 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] a great <07227> tumult <04103> from the LORD <03068>

shall be among them; and they shall lay hold <02388> every

<0376> one <0376> on the hand <03027> of his neighbour <07453>,

and his hand <03027> shall rise <05927> up against <05921> the

hand <03027> of his neighbour <07453>.

14 And Judah <03063> also <01571> shall fight <03898> at

Jerusalem <03389>; and the wealth <02428> of all <03605> the

heathen <01471> round <05439> about <01157> shall be gathered

<0622> together, gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, and apparel

<0899>, in great <03966> abundance <07230>.

15 And so <03651> shall be the plague <04046> of the horse

<05483>, of the mule <06505>, of the camel <01581>, and of the

ass <02543>, and of all <03605> the beasts <0929> that shall be

in these <01992> tents <04264>, as this <02063> plague <04046>.

16. And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] every <03605> one

that is left <03498> of all <03605> the nations <01471> which

came <0935> against <05921> Jerusalem <03389> shall even go

<05927> up from year <08141> to year <08141> to worship <07812>

the King <04428>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and to keep

<02287> the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

17 And it shall be, [that] whoso <0834> will not come <05927>

up of [all] the families <04940> of the earth <0776> unto

Jerusalem <03389> to worship <07812> the King <04428>, the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, even upon them shall be no <03808>

rain <04306>.

18 And if the family <04940> of Egypt <04714> go <05927> not up,

and come <0935> not, that [have] no <03808> [rain]; there shall

be the plague <04046>, wherewith <0834> the LORD <03068> will

smite <05062> the heathen <01471> that come <05927> not up to

keep <02287> the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

19 This <02063> shall be the punishment <02403> of Egypt

<04714>, and the punishment <02403> of all <03605> nations

<01471> that come <05927> not up to keep <02287> the feast

<02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

20 In that day <03117> shall there be upon the bells <04698> of

the horses <05483>, HOLINESS <06944> UNTO THE LORD <03068>; and

the pots <05518> in the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> shall be

like the bowls <04219> before <06440> the altar <04196>.

21 Yea, every <03605> pot <05518> in Jerusalem <03389> and in

Judah <03063> shall be holiness <06944> unto the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>: and all <03605> they that sacrifice <02076> shall

come <0935> and take <03947> of them, and seethe <01310> therein:

and in that day <03117> there shall be no <03808> more <05750>

the Canaanite <03669> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>

of hosts <06635>.
