1 In the eighth8066 month,2320 in the second8147 year8141 of Darius,1867 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Berechiah,1296 the son1121 of Iddo5714 the prophet,5030 saying,559
2 The LORD3068 has been sore displeased7107 with your fathers.1
3 Therefore say559 you to them, Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you to me, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I will turn7725 to you, said559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
4 Be you not as your fathers,1 to whom834 413 the former7223 prophets5030 have cried,7121 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you now4994 from your evil7451 ways,1870 and from your evil7451 doings:4611 but they did not hear,8085 nor3808 listen7181 to me, said5002 the LORD.3068
5 Your fathers,1 where346 are they? and the prophets,5030 do they live2421 for ever?5769
6 But my words1697 and my statutes,2706 which834 I commanded6680 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 did they not take5381 hold5381 of your fathers?1 and they returned7725 and said,559 Like as the LORD3068 of hosts6635 thought2161 to do6213 to us, according to our ways,1870 and according to our doings,4611 so3651 has he dealt6213 with us.
7 On the four702 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the eleventh6249 6240 month,2320 which1931 is the month2320 Sebat,7627 in the second8147 year8141 of Darius,1867 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Berechiah,1296 the son1121 of Iddo5714 the prophet,5030 saying,559
8 I saw7200 by night,3915 and behold2009 a man376 riding7392 on a red122 horse,5483 and he stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees that were in the bottom;4699 and behind310 him were there red122 horses,5483 speckled,8320 and white.3836
9 Then said559 I, O my lord,113 what4100 are these?428 And the angel4397 that talked1696 with me said559 to me, I will show7200 you what4100 these428 be.
10 And the man376 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees answered6030 and said,559 These428 are they whom834 the LORD3068 has sent7971 to walk1980 to and fro through the earth.776
11 And they answered6030 the angel4397 of the LORD3068 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees, and said,559 We have walked1980 to and fro through the earth,776 and, behold,2009 all3605 the earth776 sits3427 still, and is at rest.8252
12 Then the angel4397 of the LORD3068 answered6030 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 how5704 long5704 will you not have mercy7355 on Jerusalem3389 and on the cities5892 of Judah,3063 against which834 you have had indignation2194 these2088 three score7657 and ten years?8141
13 And the LORD3068 answered6030 the angel4397 that talked1696 with me with good2896 words1697 and comfortable5150 words.1697
14 So the angel4397 that communed1696 with me said559 to me, Cry7121 you, saying,559 Thus3541 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I am jealous7065 for Jerusalem3389 and for Zion6726 with a great1419 jealousy.7068
15 And I am very sore displeased7107 with the heathen1471 that are at ease:7600 for I was but a little4592 displeased,7107 and they helped5826 forward the affliction.7451
16 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Jerusalem3389 with mercies:7356 my house1004 shall be built1129 in it, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and a line6957 shall be stretched5186 forth on Jerusalem.3389
17 Cry7121 yet,5750 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 My cities5892 through prosperity2896 shall yet5750 be spread6327 abroad;6527 and the LORD3068 shall yet5750 comfort5162 Zion,6726 and shall yet5750 choose977 Jerusalem.3389
18 Then lifted5375 I up my eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and behold2009 four702 horns.7161
19 And I said559 to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, What4100 be these?428 And he answered559 me, These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 Israel,3478 and Jerusalem.3389
20 And the LORD3068 showed7200 me four702 carpenters.2796
21 Then said559 I, What4100 come935 these428 to do?6213 And he spoke,559 saying,559 These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 so that no3808 man376 did lift5375 up his head:7218 but these428 are come935 to fray2729 them, to cast3034 out the horns7161 of the Gentiles,1471 which lifted5375 up their horn7161 over413 the land776 of Judah3063 to scatter2219 it.
1 I lifted5375 up my eyes5869 again, and looked,7200 and behold2009 a man376 with a measuring4060 line2256 in his hand.3027
2 Then said559 I, Where575 go1980 you? And he said559 to me, To measure4058 Jerusalem,3389 to see7200 what4100 is the breadth7341 thereof, and what4100 is the length753 thereof.
3 And, behold,2009 the angel4397 that talked1696 with me went3318 forth,3318 and another312 angel4397 went3318 out to meet7125 him,
4 And said559 to him, Run,7323 speak1696 to this1975 young5288 man, saying,559 Jerusalem3389 shall be inhabited3427 as towns6519 without walls for the multitude7230 of men120 and cattle929 therein:8432
5 For I, said5002 the LORD,3068 will be to her a wall2346 of fire784 round5439 about, and will be the glory3519 in the middle8432 of her.
6 Ho,1945 ho,1945 come forth, and flee5127 from the land776 of the north,6828 said5002 the LORD:3068 for I have spread6566 you abroad6566 as the four702 winds7307 of the heaven,8064 said5002 the LORD.3068
7 Deliver4422 yourself, O Zion,6726 that dwell3427 with the daughter1323 of Babylon.894
8 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 After310 the glory3519 has he sent7971 me to the nations1471 which spoiled7997 you: for he that touches5060 you touches5060 the apple892 of his eye.5869
9 For, behold,2005 I will shake5130 my hand3027 on them, and they shall be a spoil7998 to their servants:5647 and you shall know3045 that the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has sent7971 me.
10 Sing7442 and rejoice,8055 O daughter1323 of Zion:6726 for, see, I come,935 and I will dwell7931 in the middle8432 of you, said5002 the LORD.3068
11 And many7227 nations1471 shall be joined3867 to the LORD3068 in that day,3117 and shall be my people:5971 and I will dwell7931 in the middle8432 of you, and you shall know3045 that the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has sent7971 me to you.
12 And the LORD3068 shall inherit5157 Judah3063 his portion2506 in the holy6944 land,127 and shall choose977 Jerusalem3389 again.5750
13 Be silent,2013 O all3605 flesh,1320 before6440 the LORD:3068 for he is raised5782 up out of his holy6944 habitation.4583
1 And he showed7200 me Joshua3091 the high1419 priest3548 standing5975 before6440 the angel4397 of the LORD,3068 and Satan7854 standing5975 at5921 his right3225 hand3225 to resist7853 him.
2 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 The LORD3068 rebuke1605 you, O Satan;7854 even the LORD3068 that has chosen977 Jerusalem3389 rebuke1605 you: is not this2088 a brand181 plucked5337 out of the fire?784
3 Now Joshua3091 was clothed3847 with filthy6674 garments,899 and stood5975 before6440 the angel.4397
4 And he answered6030 and spoke559 to those that stood5975 before6440 him, saying,559 Take5493 away5493 the filthy6674 garments899 from him. And to him he said,559 Behold,7200 I have caused your iniquity5771 to pass5674 from you, and I will clothe3847 you with change4254 of raiment.4254
5 And I said,559 Let them set7760 a fair2889 turban6797 on his head.7218 So they set7760 a fair2889 turban6797 on his head,7218 and clothed3847 him with garments.899 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 stood5975 by.
6 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 protested5749 to Joshua,3091 saying,559
7 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 If518 you will walk3212 in my ways,1870 and if518 you will keep8104 my charge,4931 then you shall also1571 judge1777 my house,1004 and shall also1571 keep8104 my courts,2691 and I will give5414 you places to walk4108 among996 these428 that stand5975 by.
8 Hear8085 now,4994 O Joshua3091 the high1419 priest,3548 you, and your fellows7453 that sit3427 before6440 you: for they are men582 wondered4159 at: for, behold,2005 I will bring935 forth935 my servant5650 the BRANCH.6780
9 For behold2009 the stone68 that I have laid5414 before6440 Joshua;3091 on one259 stone68 shall be seven7651 eyes:5869 behold,2005 I will engrave6605 the engraving6603 thereof, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I will remove4185 the iniquity5771 of that land776 in one259 day.3117
10 In that day,3117 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall you call7121 every man his neighbor7453 under8478 the vine1612 and under8478 the fig8384 tree.
1 And the angel4397 that talked1696 with me came7725 again,7725 and waked5782 me, as a man376 that is wakened5782 out of his sleep.8142
2 And said559 to me, What4100 see7200 you? And I said,559 I have looked,7200 and behold2005 a candlestick4501 all3605 of gold,2091 with a bowl1543 on the top7218 of it, and his seven7651 lamps5216 thereon,5921 and seven7651 pipes4166 to the seven7651 lamps,5216 which are on the top7218 thereof:
3 And two8147 olive2132 trees by it, one259 on the right3225 side of the bowl,1543 and the other259 on the left8040 side thereof.
4 So I answered6030 and spoke559 to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, saying,559 What4100 are these,428 my lord?113
5 Then the angel4397 that talked1696 with me answered6030 and said559 to me, Know3045 you not what4100 these428 be? And I said,559 No,3808 my lord.113
6 Then he answered6030 and spoke559 to me, saying,559 This2088 is the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zerubbabel,2216 saying,559 Not by might,2428 nor3808 by power,3581 but by my spirit,7307 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
7 Who4310 are you, O great1419 mountain?2022 before6440 Zerubbabel2216 you shall become a plain:4334 and he shall bring3318 forth3318 the headstone68 7222 thereof with shoutings,8663 crying, Grace,2580 grace2580 to it.
8 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559
9 The hands3027 of Zerubbabel2216 have laid the foundation3248 of this2088 house;1004 his hands3027 shall also finish1214 it; and you shall know3045 that the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has sent7971 me to you.
10 For who4310 has despised937 the day3117 of small6996 things? for they shall rejoice,8055 and shall see7200 the plummet68 913 in the hand3027 of Zerubbabel2216 with those428 seven;7651 they are the eyes5869 of the LORD,3068 which run7751 to and fro7751 through the whole3605 earth.776
11 Then answered6030 I, and said559 to him, What4100 are these428 two8147 olive2132 trees on the right3225 side of the candlestick4501 and on the left8040 side thereof?
12 And I answered6030 again,8145 and said559 to him, What4100 be these two8147 olive2132 branches7641 which834 through3027 the two8147 golden2091 pipes6804 empty7324 the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered559 me and said,559 Know3045 you not what4100 these428 be? And I said,559 No,3808 my lord.113
14 Then said559 he, These428 are the two8147 anointed1121 3323 ones, that stand5975 by the LORD113 of the whole3605 earth.776
1 Then I turned,7725 and lifted5375 up my eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and behold2009 a flying5774 roll.4040
2 And he said559 to me, What4100 see7200 you? And I answered,559 I see7200 a flying5774 roll;4040 the length753 thereof is twenty6242 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 thereof ten6235 cubits.520
3 Then said559 he to me, This2063 is the curse423 that goes3318 forth3318 over5921 the face6440 of the whole3605 earth:776 for every3605 one that steals1589 shall be cut5352 off as on this2088 side according3644 to it; and every3605 one that swears7650 shall be cut5352 off as on that side according3644 to it.
4 I will bring3318 it forth,3318 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and it shall enter935 into413 the house1004 of the thief,1590 and into413 the house1004 of him that swears7650 falsely8267 by my name:8034 and it shall remain3885 in the middle8432 of his house,1004 and shall consume3615 it with the timber6086 thereof and the stones68 thereof.
5 Then the angel4397 that talked1696 with me went3318 forth,3318 and said559 to me, Lift5375 up now4994 your eyes,5869 and see7200 what4100 is this2063 that goes3318 forth.3318
6 And I said,559 What4100 is it? And he said,559 This2063 is an ephah374 that goes3318 forth.3318 He said559 moreover, This2063 is their resemblance5869 through all3605 the earth.776
7 And, behold,2009 there was lifted up a talent3603 of lead:5777 and this2063 is a woman802 that sits3427 in the middle8432 of the ephah.374
8 And he said,559 This2063 is wickedness.7564 And he cast7993 it into413 the middle8432 of the ephah;374 and he cast7993 the weight68 of lead5777 on the mouth6310 thereof.
9 Then lifted5375 I up my eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 there came3318 out two8147 women,802 and the wind7307 was in their wings;3671 for they had wings3671 like the wings3671 of a stork:2624 and they lifted5375 up the ephah374 between996 the earth776 and the heaven.8064
10 Then said559 I to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, Where575 do these1992 bear3212 the ephah?374
11 And he said559 to me, To build1129 it an house1004 in the land776 of Shinar:8152 and it shall be established,3559 and set3240 there8033 on her own base.4369
1 And I turned,7725 and lifted5375 up my eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 there came3318 four702 chariots4818 out from between996 two8147 mountains;2022 and the mountains2022 were mountains2022 of brass.5178
2 In the first7223 chariot4818 were red122 horses;5483 and in the second8145 chariot4818 black7838 horses;5483
3 And in the third7992 chariot4818 white3836 horses;5483 and in the fourth7243 chariot4818 spotted1261 and bay554 horses.5483
4 Then I answered6030 and said559 to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, What4100 are these,428 my lord?113
5 And the angel4397 answered6030 and said559 to me, These428 are the four702 spirits7307 of the heavens,8064 which go3318 forth3318 from standing3320 before5921 the LORD113 of all3605 the earth.776
6 The black7838 horses5483 which834 are therein go3318 forth3318 into413 the north6828 country;776 and the white3836 go3318 forth3318 after310 them; and the spotted1261 go3318 forth3318 toward413 the south8486 country.776
7 And the bay554 went3318 forth,3318 and sought1245 to go3212 that they might walk1980 to and fro through the earth:776 and he said,559 Get3212 you hence,3212 walk1980 to and fro through the earth.776 So they walked1980 to and fro through the earth.776
8 Then cried2199 he on me, and spoke1696 to me, saying,559 Behold,7200 these that go3318 toward413 the north6828 country776 have quieted5117 my spirit7307 in the north6828 country.776
9 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559
10 Take3947 of them of the captivity,1473 even of Heldai,2469 of Tobijah,2900 and of Jedaiah,3048 which834 are come935 from Babylon,894 and come935 you the same1931 day,3117 and go935 into the house1004 of Josiah2977 the son1121 of Zephaniah;6846
11 Then take3947 silver3701 and gold,2091 and make6213 crowns,5850 and set7760 them on the head7218 of Joshua3091 the son1121 of Josedech,3087 the high1419 priest;3548
12 And speak559 to him, saying,559 Thus3541 speaks559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 saying,559 Behold2009 the man376 whose name8034 is The BRANCH;6780 and he shall grow6779 up out of his place,8478 and he shall build1129 the temple1964 of the LORD:3068
13 Even he shall build1129 the temple1964 of the LORD;3068 and he shall bear5375 the glory,1935 and shall sit3427 and rule4910 on his throne;3678 and he shall be a priest3548 on his throne:3678 and the counsel6098 of peace7965 shall be between996 them both.8147
14 And the crowns5850 shall be to Helem,2494 and to Tobijah,2900 and to Jedaiah,3048 and to Hen2581 the son1121 of Zephaniah,6846 for a memorial2146 in the temple1964 of the LORD.3068
15 And they that are far7350 off shall come935 and build1129 in the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 and you shall know3045 that the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has sent7971 me to you. And this2063 shall come1961 to pass, if you will diligently obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God.430
1 And it came1961 to pass in the fourth702 year8141 of king4428 Darius,1867 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Zechariah2148 in the fourth702 day of the ninth8671 month,2320 even in Chisleu;3691
2 When they had sent7971 to the house1008 of God1008 Sherezer8272 and Regemmelech,7278 and their men,582 to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD,3068
3 And to speak559 to the priests3548 which834 were in the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and to the prophets,5030 saying,559 Should I weep1058 in the fifth2549 month,2320 separating5144 myself, as I have done6213 these2088 so many years?8141
4 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 to me, saying,559
5 Speak559 to all3605 the people5971 of the land,776 and to the priests,3548 saying,559 When3588 you fasted6684 and mourned5594 in the fifth2549 and seventh7637 month, even those2088 seventy7657 years,8141 did you at all fast6684 to me, even to me?
6 And when3588 you did eat,398 and when3588 you did drink,8354 did not you eat398 for yourselves, and drink8354 for yourselves?
7 Should you not hear the words1697 which834 the LORD3068 has cried7121 by the former7223 prophets,5030 when Jerusalem3389 was inhabited3427 and in prosperity,7961 and the cities5892 thereof round5439 about her, when men inhabited3427 the south5045 and the plain?8219
8 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Zechariah,2148 saying,559
9 Thus3541 speaks559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 saying,559 Execute8199 true571 judgment,4941 and show6213 mercy2617 and compassions7356 every man376 to his brother:251
10 And oppress6231 not the widow,490 nor the fatherless,3490 the stranger,1616 nor the poor;6041 and let none408 of you imagine2803 evil7451 against his brother251 in your heart.3824
11 But they refused3985 to listen,7181 and pulled5414 away the shoulder,3802 and stopped3513 their ears,241 that they should not hear.8085
12 Yes, they made7760 their hearts3820 as an adamant8068 stone,8068 lest6435 they should hear8085 the law,8451 and the words1697 which834 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has sent7971 in his spirit7307 by the former7223 prophets:5030 therefore came1961 a great1419 wrath7110 from the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
13 Therefore it is come1961 to pass, that as he cried,7121 and they would not hear;8085 so3651 they cried,7121 and I would not hear,8085 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind5590 among5921 all3605 the nations1471 whom834 they knew3045 not. Thus the land776 was desolate8074 after310 them, that no man passed5674 through nor returned:7725 for they laid7760 the pleasant2532 land776 desolate.8047
1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559
2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I was jealous7065 for Zion6726 with great1419 jealousy,7068 and I was jealous7065 for her with great1419 fury.2534
3 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Zion,6726 and will dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and Jerusalem3389 shall be called7121 a city5892 of truth;571 and the mountain2022 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 the holy6944 mountain.2022
4 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 There shall yet5750 old2205 men and old2205 women dwell3427 in the streets7339 of Jerusalem,3389 and every man376 with his staff4938 in his hand3027 for very7230 age.3117
5 And the streets7339 of the city5892 shall be full4390 of boys3206 and girls3207 playing7832 in the streets7339 thereof.
6 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 If3588 it be marvelous6381 in the eyes5869 of the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 in these1992 days,3117 should it also1571 be marvelous6381 in my eyes?5869 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
7 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2005 I will save3467 my people5971 from the east4217 country,776 and from the west3996 8121 country;776
8 And I will bring935 them, and they shall dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and they shall be my people,5971 and I will be their God,430 in truth571 and in righteousness.6666
9 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Let your hands3027 be strong,2388 you that hear8085 in these428 days3117 these428 words1697 by the mouth6310 of the prophets,5030 which834 were in the day3117 that the foundation3248 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 was laid,7760 that the temple1964 might be built.1129
10 For before6440 these1992 days3117 there was no3808 hire7939 for man,120 nor369 any hire7939 for beast;929 neither369 was there any peace7965 to him that went3318 out or came935 in because4480 of the affliction:6862 for I set7971 all3605 men120 every one376 against his neighbor.7453
11 But now6258 I will not be to the residue7611 of this2088 people5971 as in the former7223 days,3117 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
12 For the seed2233 shall be prosperous;7965 the vine1612 shall give5414 her fruit,6529 and the ground776 shall give5414 her increase,2981 and the heavens8064 shall give5414 their dew;2919 and I will cause the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 to possess5157 all3605 these428 things.
13 And it shall come1961 to pass, that as you were a curse7045 among the heathen,1471 O house1004 of Judah,3063 and house1004 of Israel;3478 so3651 will I save3467 you, and you shall be a blessing:1293 fear3372 not, but let your hands3027 be strong.2388
14 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 As I thought2161 to punish7489 you, when your fathers1 provoked me to wrath,7107 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I repented5162 not:
15 So3651 again7725 have I thought2161 in these428 days3117 to do well3190 to Jerusalem3389 and to the house1004 of Judah:3063 fear3372 you not.
16 These428 are the things that you shall do;6213 Speak1696 you every man376 the truth571 to his neighbor;7453 execute8199 the judgment4941 of truth571 and peace7965 in your gates:8179
17 And let none408 of you imagine evil7451 in your hearts3820 against his neighbor;7453 and love157 no3808 false8267 oath:7621 for all3605 these428 are things that I hate,8130 said5002 the LORD.3068
18 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559
19 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 The fast6685 of the fourth7243 month, and the fast6685 of the fifth,2549 and the fast6685 of the seventh,7637 and the fast6685 of the tenth,6224 shall be to the house1004 of Judah3063 joy8342 and gladness,8057 and cheerful2896 feasts;4150 therefore love157 the truth571 and peace.7965
20 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 It shall yet5750 come935 to pass, that there shall come people,5971 and the inhabitants3427 of many7227 cities:5892
21 And the inhabitants3427 of one259 city shall go1980 to another,259 saying,559 Let us go3212 speedily1980 to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD,3068 and to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 I will go3212 also.1571
22 Yes, many7227 people5971 and strong6099 nations1471 shall come935 to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Jerusalem,3389 and to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD.3068
23 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 In those1992 days3117 it shall come to pass, that ten6235 men582 shall take2388 hold2388 out of all3605 languages3956 of the nations,1471 even shall take2388 hold2388 of the skirt3671 of him that is a Jew,3064 saying,559 We will go3212 with you: for we have heard8085 that God430 is with you.
1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 in the land776 of Hadrach,2317 and Damascus1834 shall be the rest4496 thereof: when3588 the eyes5869 of man,120 as of all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 shall be toward the LORD.3068
2 And Hamath2574 also1571 shall border1379 thereby; Tyrus,6865 and Zidon,6721 though3588 it be very3966 wise.2449
3 And Tyrus6865 did build1129 herself a strong4692 hold,4692 and heaped6651 up silver3701 as the dust,6083 and fine gold2742 as the mire2916 of the streets.2351
4 Behold,2009 the LORD136 will cast3423 her out, and he will smite5221 her power2428 in the sea;3220 and she shall be devoured398 with fire.784
5 Ashkelon831 shall see7200 it, and fear;3372 Gaza5804 also shall see it, and be very3966 sorrowful,2342 and Ekron;6138 for her expectation4007 shall be ashamed;954 and the king4428 shall perish6 from Gaza,5804 and Ashkelon831 shall not be inhabited.3427
6 And a bastard4464 shall dwell3427 in Ashdod,795 and I will cut3772 off the pride1347 of the Philistines.6430
7 And I will take5493 away5493 his blood1818 out of his mouth,6310 and his abominations8251 from between996 his teeth:8127 but he that remains,7604 even1571 he, shall be for our God,430 and he shall be as a governor441 in Judah,3063 and Ekron6138 as a Jebusite.2983
8 And I will encamp2583 about my house1004 because of the army,4675 because of him that passes5674 by, and because of him that returns:7725 and no3808 oppressor5065 shall pass5674 through them any more:5750 for now6258 have I seen7200 with my eyes.5869
9 Rejoice1523 greatly,3966 O daughter1323 of Zion;6726 shout,7321 O daughter1323 of Jerusalem:3389 behold,2009 your King4428 comes935 to you: he is just,6662 and having salvation;3467 lowly,6041 and riding7392 on an ass,2543 and on a colt5895 the foal1121 of an ass.860
10 And I will cut3772 off the chariot7393 from Ephraim,669 and the horse5483 from Jerusalem,3389 and the battle4421 bow7198 shall be cut3772 off: and he shall speak1696 peace7965 to the heathen:1471 and his dominion4915 shall be from sea3220 even to sea,3220 and from the river5104 even to the ends657 of the earth.776
11 As for you also,1571 by the blood1818 of your covenant1285 I have sent7971 forth your prisoners615 out of the pit953 wherein is no3808 water.4325
12 Turn7725 you to the strong1225 hold,1225 you prisoners615 of hope:8615 even1571 to day3117 do I declare5046 that I will render7725 double4932 to you;
13 When3588 I have bent1869 Judah3063 for me, filled4390 the bow7198 with Ephraim,669 and raised5782 up your sons,1121 O Zion,6726 against5921 your sons,1121 O Greece,3120 and made7760 you as the sword2719 of a mighty1368 man.
14 And the LORD3068 shall be seen7200 over5921 them, and his arrow2671 shall go3318 forth3318 as the lightning:1300 and the LORD136 God3069 shall blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and shall go1980 with whirlwinds5591 of the south.8486
15 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall defend1598 them; and they shall devour,398 and subdue3533 with sling7050 stones;68 and they shall drink,8354 and make a noise6963 as through wine;3196 and they shall be filled4390 like bowls,4219 and as the corners2106 of the altar.4196
16 And the LORD3068 their God430 shall save3467 them in that day3117 as the flock6629 of his people:5971 for they shall be as the stones68 of a crown,5145 lifted5264 up as an ensign5264 on his land.127
17 For how4100 great is his goodness,2898 and how4100 great is his beauty!3308 corn1715 shall make the young970 men cheerful,5107 and new8492 wine8492 the maids.1330
1 Ask7592 you of the LORD3068 rain4306 in the time6256 of the latter4456 rain;4456 so the LORD3068 shall make6213 bright2385 clouds,2385 and give5414 them showers1653 of rain,4306 to every376 one376 grass6212 in the field.7704
2 For the idols8655 have spoken1696 vanity,205 and the diviners7080 have seen2372 a lie,8267 and have told1696 false7723 dreams;2472 they comfort5162 in vain:1892 therefore5921 3651 they went5265 their way as a flock,6629 they were troubled,6031 because3588 there was no639 shepherd.7462
3 My anger639 was kindled2734 against5921 the shepherds,7462 and I punished6485 the goats:6260 for the LORD3068 of hosts6635 has visited6485 his flock5739 the house1004 of Judah,3063 and has made7760 them as his goodly1935 horse5483 in the battle.4421
4 Out of him came3318 forth3318 the corner,6438 out of him the nail,3489 out of him the battle4421 bow,7198 out of him every3605 oppressor5065 together.3162
5 And they shall be as mighty1368 men, which tread947 down their enemies in the mire2916 of the streets2351 in the battle:4421 and they shall fight,3898 because3588 the LORD3068 is with them, and the riders7392 on horses5483 shall be confounded.3001
6 And I will strengthen1396 the house1004 of Judah,3063 and I will save3467 the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and I will bring7725 them again7725 to place3427 them; for I have mercy7355 on them: and they shall be as though834 I had not cast2186 them off: for I am the LORD3068 their God,430 and will hear6030 them.
7 And they of Ephraim669 shall be like a mighty1368 man, and their heart3820 shall rejoice8055 as through wine:3196 yes, their children1121 shall see7200 it, and be glad;8056 their heart3820 shall rejoice1523 in the LORD.3068
8 I will hiss8319 for them, and gather6908 them; for I have redeemed6299 them: and they shall increase7235 as they have increased.7235
9 And I will sow2232 them among the people:5971 and they shall remember2142 me in far4801 countries; and they shall live2421 with their children,1121 and turn7725 again.7725
10 I will bring7725 them again7725 also out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and gather6908 them out of Assyria;804 and I will bring935 them into413 the land776 of Gilead1568 and Lebanon;3844 and place shall not be found4672 for them.
11 And he shall pass5674 through the sea3220 with affliction,6869 and shall smite5221 the waves1530 in the sea,3220 and all3605 the deeps4688 of the river2975 shall dry3001 up: and the pride1347 of Assyria804 shall be brought3381 down,3381 and the scepter7626 of Egypt4714 shall depart5493 away.
12 And I will strengthen1396 them in the LORD;3068 and they shall walk1980 up and down in his name,8034 said5002 the LORD.3068
1 Open6605 your doors,1817 O Lebanon,3844 that the fire784 may devour398 your cedars.730
2 Howl,3213 fir1265 tree; for the cedar730 is fallen;5307 because834 the mighty117 are spoiled:7703 howl,3213 O you oaks437 of Bashan;1316 for the forest3293 of the vintage1208 is come3381 down.3381
3 There is a voice6963 of the howling3213 of the shepherds;7462 for their glory155 is spoiled:7703 a voice6963 of the roaring7581 of young3715 lions;3715 for the pride1347 of Jordan3383 is spoiled.7703
4 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 my God;430 Feed7462 the flock6629 of the slaughter;2028
5 Whose834 possessors7069 slay2026 them, and hold816 themselves not guilty:816 and they that sell4376 them say,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD;3068 for I am rich:6238 and their own shepherds7462 pity2550 them not.
6 For I will no3808 more5750 pity2550 the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 said5002 the LORD:3068 but, see, I will deliver4672 the men120 every376 one376 into his neighbor's7453 hand,3027 and into the hand3027 of his king:4428 and they shall smite3807 the land,776 and out of their hand3027 I will not deliver5337 them.
7 And I will feed7462 the flock6629 of slaughter,2028 even3651 you, O poor6041 of the flock.6629 And I took3947 to me two8147 staves;4731 the one259 I called7121 Beauty,5278 and the other259 I called7121 Bands;2256 and I fed7462 the flock.6629
8 Three7969 shepherds7462 also I cut3582 off in one259 month;3391 and my soul5315 loathed7114 them, and their soul5315 also1571 abhorred973 me.
9 Then said559 I, I will not feed7462 you: that that dies,4191 let it die;4191 and that that is to be cut3582 off, let it be cut3582 off; and let the rest7604 eat398 every802 one802 the flesh1320 of another.7468
10 And I took3947 my staff,4731 even853 Beauty,5278 and cut1438 it asunder, that I might break6565 my covenant1285 which834 I had made3772 with all3605 the people.5971
11 And it was broken6565 in that day:3117 and so3651 the poor6041 of the flock6629 that waited8104 on me knew3045 that it was the word1697 of the LORD.3068
12 And I said559 to them, If518 you think5869 good,2896 give3051 me my price;7939 and if518 not, forbear.2308 So they weighed8254 for my price7939 thirty7970 pieces of silver.3701
13 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Cast7993 it to the potter:3335 a goodly145 price3365 that I was priced3365 at of them. And I took3947 the thirty7970 pieces of silver,3701 and cast7993 them to the potter3335 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068
14 Then I cut1438 asunder my other8145 staff,4731 even853 Bands,2256 that I might break6565 the brotherhood264 between996 Judah3063 and Israel.3478
15 And the LORD3068 said559 to me, Take3947 to you yet5750 the instruments3627 of a foolish196 shepherd.7462
16 For, see, I will raise6965 up a shepherd7462 in the land,776 which shall not visit6485 those that be cut3582 off, neither3808 shall seek1245 the young5288 one, nor3808 heal7495 that that is broken,7665 nor3808 feed3557 that that stands5324 still: but he shall eat398 the flesh1320 of the fat,1277 and tear6561 their claws6541 in pieces.
17 Woe1945 to the idol457 shepherd7473 that leaves5800 the flock!6629 the sword2719 shall be on his arm,2220 and on his right3225 eye:5869 his arm2220 shall be clean2889 dried3001 up, and his right3225 eye5869 shall be utterly darkened.3543
1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 for Israel,3478 said5002 the LORD,3068 which stretches5186 forth the heavens,8064 and lays the foundation3248 of the earth,776 and forms3335 the spirit7307 of man120 within7130 him.
2 Behold,2009 I will make7760 Jerusalem3389 a cup5592 of trembling7478 to all3605 the people5971 round5439 about, when they shall be in the siege4692 both1571 against5921 Judah3063 and against5921 Jerusalem.3389
3 And in that day3117 will I make7760 Jerusalem3389 a burdensome4614 stone68 for all3605 people:5971 all3605 that burden6006 themselves with it shall be cut8295 in pieces, though all3605 the people1471 of the earth776 be gathered622 together against5921 it.
4 In that day,3117 said5002 the LORD,3068 I will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 with astonishment,8541 and his rider7392 with madness:7697 and I will open6491 my eyes5869 on the house1004 of Judah,3063 and will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 of the people5971 with blindness.5788
5 And the governors441 of Judah3063 shall say559 in their heart,3820 The inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 shall be my strength556 in the LORD3068 of hosts6635 their God.430
6 In that day3117 will I make7760 the governors441 of Judah3063 like an hearth3595 of fire784 among the wood,6086 and like a torch3940 of fire784 in a sheaf;5995 and they shall devour398 all3605 the people5971 round5439 about,1157 on5921 the right3225 hand3225 and on5921 the left:8040 and Jerusalem3389 shall be inhabited3427 again5750 in her own place,8478 even in Jerusalem.3389
7 The LORD3068 also shall save3467 the tents168 of Judah3063 first,7223 that the glory8597 of the house1004 of David1732 and the glory8597 of the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 do not magnify1431 themselves against5921 Judah.3063
8 In that day3117 shall the LORD3068 defend1598 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 and he that is feeble3782 among them at that day3117 shall be as David;1732 and the house1004 of David1732 shall be as God,430 as the angel4397 of the LORD3068 before6440 them.
9 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that I will seek1245 to destroy8045 all3605 the nations1471 that come935 against5921 Jerusalem.3389
10 And I will pour8210 on the house1004 of David,1732 and on the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 the spirit7307 of grace2580 and of supplications:8469 and they shall look5027 on me whom854 834 they have pierced,1856 and they shall mourn5594 for him, as one mourns5594 for his only3173 son, and shall be in bitterness4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness4843 for his firstborn.1060
11 In that day3117 shall there be a great1431 mourning4553 in Jerusalem,3389 as the mourning4553 of Hadadrimmon1910 in the valley1237 of Megiddon.4023
12 And the land776 shall mourn,5594 every family4940 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of David1732 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of Nathan5416 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905
13 The family4940 of the house1004 of Levi3878 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905 the family4940 of Shimei8097 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905
14 All3605 the families4940 that remain,7604 every family4940 apart,905 and their wives802 apart.905
1 In that day3117 there shall be a fountain4726 opened6605 to the house1004 of David1732 and to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 for sin2403 and for uncleanness.5079
2 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that I will cut3772 off the names8034 of the idols6091 out of the land,776 and they shall no3808 more5750 be remembered:2142 and also1571 I will cause the prophets5030 and the unclean2932 spirit7307 to pass5674 out of the land.776
3 And it shall come1961 to pass, that when3588 any376 shall yet5750 prophesy,5197 then his father2 and his mother517 that begat3205 him shall say559 to him, You shall not live;2421 for you speak1696 lies8267 in the name8034 of the LORD:3068 and his father2 and his mother517 that begat3205 him shall thrust1856 him through when he prophesies.5012
4 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that the prophets5030 shall be ashamed954 every376 one376 of his vision,2384 when he has prophesied;5012 neither3808 shall they wear3847 a rough8181 garment155 to deceive:3584
5 But he shall say,559 I am no3808 prophet,5030 I am an farmer;5647 for man120 taught me to keep7069 cattle7069 from my youth.5271
6 And one shall say559 to him, What4100 are these428 wounds4347 in your hands?3027 Then he shall answer,559 Those with which834 I was wounded5221 in the house1004 of my friends.157
7 Awake,5782 O sword,2719 against5921 my shepherd,7462 and against5921 the man1397 that is my fellow,5997 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 smite5221 the shepherd,7462 and the sheep6629 shall be scattered:6327 and I will turn7725 my hand3027 on the little6819 ones.
8 And it shall come1961 to pass, that in all3605 the land,776 said5002 the LORD,3068 two8147 parts6310 therein shall be cut3772 off and die;1478 but the third7992 shall be left3498 therein.
9 And I will bring935 the third7992 part through the fire,784 and will refine6884 them as silver3701 is refined,6884 and will try974 them as gold2091 is tried:974 they shall call7121 on my name,8034 and I will hear6030 them: I will say,559 It is my people:5971 and they shall say,559 The LORD3068 is my God.430
1 Behold,2009 the day3117 of the LORD3068 comes,935 and your spoil7998 shall be divided2505 in the middle7130 of you.
2 For I will gather622 all3605 nations1471 against413 Jerusalem3389 to battle;4421 and the city5892 shall be taken,3947 and the houses1004 rifled,8155 and the women802 ravished;7693 and half2677 of the city5892 shall go3318 forth3318 into captivity,1473 and the residue3499 of the people5971 shall not be cut3772 off from the city.5892
3 Then shall the LORD3068 go3318 forth,3318 and fight3898 against those1992 nations,1471 as when3117 he fought3898 in the day3117 of battle.7128
4 And his feet7272 shall stand5975 in that day3117 on the mount2022 of Olives,2132 which834 is before5921 6440 Jerusalem3389 on the east,6924 and the mount2022 of Olives2132 shall split1234 in the middle2677 thereof toward the east4217 and toward the west,3220 and there shall be a very3966 great1419 valley;1516 and half2677 of the mountain2022 shall remove4185 toward the north,6828 and half2677 of it toward the south.5045
5 And you shall flee5127 to the valley1516 of the mountains;2022 for the valley1516 of the mountains2022 shall reach5060 to Azal:682 yes, you shall flee,5127 like as you fled5127 from before6440 the earthquake7494 in the days3117 of Uzziah5818 king4428 of Judah:3063 and the LORD3068 my God430 shall come,935 and all3605 the saints6918 with you.
6 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that the light216 shall not be clear,3368 nor dark:7087
7 But it shall be one259 day3117 which1931 shall be known3045 to the LORD,3068 not day,3117 nor3808 night:3915 but it shall come1961 to pass, that at evening6153 time6256 it shall be light.216
8 And it shall be in that day,3117 that living2416 waters4325 shall go3318 out from Jerusalem;3389 half2677 of them toward413 the former6931 sea,3220 and half2677 of them toward413 the hinder314 sea:3220 in summer7019 and in winter2778 shall it be.
9 And the LORD3068 shall be king4428 over5921 all3605 the earth:776 in that day3117 shall there be one259 LORD,3068 and his name8034 one.259
10 All3605 the land776 shall be turned5437 as a plain6160 from Geba1387 to Rimmon7417 south5045 of Jerusalem:3389 and it shall be lifted7213 up, and inhabited3427 in her place,8478 from Benjamin's1144 gate8179 to the place4725 of the first7223 gate,8179 to the corner6434 gate,8179 and from the tower4026 of Hananeel2606 to the king's4428 winepresses.3342
11 And men shall dwell3427 in it, and there shall be no3808 more5750 utter destruction;2764 but Jerusalem3389 shall be safely983 inhabited.3427
12 And this2063 shall be the plague4046 with which834 the LORD3068 will smite5062 all3605 the people5971 that have fought6633 against5921 Jerusalem;3389 Their flesh1320 shall consume4743 away while they stand5975 on their feet,7272 and their eyes5869 shall consume4743 away in their holes,2356 and their tongue3956 shall consume4743 away in their mouth.6310
13 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that a great7227 tumult4103 from the LORD3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay hold2388 every376 one376 on the hand3027 of his neighbor,7453 and his hand3027 shall rise5927 up against5921 the hand3027 of his neighbor.7453
14 And Judah3063 also1571 shall fight3898 at Jerusalem;3389 and the wealth2428 of all3605 the heathen1471 round5439 about1157 shall be gathered622 together, gold,2091 and silver,3701 and apparel,899 in great3966 abundance.7230
15 And so3651 shall be the plague4046 of the horse,5483 of the mule,6505 of the camel,1581 and of the ass,2543 and of all3605 the beasts929 that shall be in these1992 tents,4264 as this2063 plague.4046
16 And it shall come1961 to pass, that every3605 one that is left3498 of all3605 the nations1471 which came935 against5921 Jerusalem3389 shall even go5927 up from year8141 to year8141 to worship7812 the King,4428 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and to keep2287 the feast2282 of tabernacles.5521
17 And it shall be, that whoever834 will not come5927 up of all the families4940 of the earth776 to Jerusalem3389 to worship7812 the King,4428 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 even on them shall be no3808 rain.4306
18 And if the family4940 of Egypt4714 go5927 not up, and come935 not, that have no3808 rain; there shall be the plague,4046 with which834 the LORD3068 will smite5062 the heathen1471 that come5927 not up to keep2287 the feast2282 of tabernacles.5521
19 This2063 shall be the punishment2403 of Egypt,4714 and the punishment2403 of all3605 nations1471 that come5927 not up to keep2287 the feast2282 of tabernacles.5521
20 In that day3117 shall there be on the bells4698 of the horses,5483 HOLINESS6944 UNTO THE LORD;3068 and the pots5518 in the LORD's3068 house1004 shall be like the bowls4219 before6440 the altar.4196
21 Yes, every3605 pot5518 in Jerusalem3389 and in Judah3063 shall be holiness6944 to the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 and all3605 they that sacrifice2076 shall come935 and take3947 of them, and seethe1310 therein: and in that day3117 there shall be no3808 more5750 the Canaanite3669 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
