Zechariah 1:1-21

1:1

In the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Darius
<01867>_,

came 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> (8800)_,

1:2

The LORD
<03068>

hath been sore
<07110>

displeased
<07107> (8804)

with your fathers
<01>_.

{sore...: Heb. with displeasure}

1:3

Therefore say
<0559> (8804)

thou unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and I will turn
<07725> (8799)

unto you, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

1:4

Be ye not as your fathers
<01>_,

unto whom the former
<07223>

prophets
<05030>

have cried
<07121> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye now from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and [from] your evil
<07451>

doings
<04611>_:

but they did not hear
<08085> (8804)_,

nor hearken
<07181> (8689)

unto me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

1:5

Your fathers
<01>_,

where [are] they? and the prophets
<05030>_,

do they live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_?

1:6

But my words
<01697>

and my statutes
<02706>_,

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

did they not take hold
<05381> (8689)

of your fathers
<01>_?

and they returned
<07725> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Like as the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

thought
<02161> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

unto us, according to our ways
<01870>_,

and according to our doings
<04611>_,

so hath he dealt
<06213> (8804)

with us. {take...: or, overtake}

1:7

Upon the four
<0702>

and twentieth
<06242>

day
<03117>

of the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

which [is] the month
<02320>

Sebat
<07627>_,

in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Darius
<01867>_,

came 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> (8800)_,

1:8

I saw
<07200> (8804)

by night
<03915>_,

and behold a man
<0376>

riding
<07392> (8802)

upon a red
<0122>

horse
<05483>_,

and he stood
<05975> (8802)

among the myrtle trees
<01918>

that [were] in the bottom
<04699>_;

and behind
<0310>

him [were there] red
<0122>

horses
<05483>_,

speckled
<08320>_,

and white
<03836>_.

{speckled: or, bay}

1:9

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, O my lord
<0113>_,

what [are] these? And the angel
<04397>

that talked
<01696> (8802)

with me said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, I will shew
<07200> (8686)

thee what these [be].

1:10

And the man
<0376>

that stood
<05975> (8802)

among the myrtle trees
<01918>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

These [are they] whom the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

to walk
<01980> (8692)

to and fro through the earth
<0776>_.

1:11

And they answered
<06030> (8799)

the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

that stood
<05975> (8802)

among the myrtle trees
<01918>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have walked to and fro
<01980> (8694)

through the earth
<0776>_,

and, behold, all the earth
<0776>

sitteth still
<03427> (8802)_,

and is at rest
<08252> (8802)_.

1:12

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

how long wilt thou not have mercy
<07355> (8762)

on Jerusalem
<03389>

and on the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

against which thou hast had indignation
<02194> (8804)

these threescore and ten
<07657>

years
<08141>_?

1:13

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the angel
<04397>

that talked
<01696> (8802)

with me [with] good
<02896>

words
<01697>

[and] comfortable
<05150>

words
<01697>_.

1:14

So the angel
<04397>

that communed
<01696> (8802)

with me said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Cry
<07121> (8798)

thou, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

I am jealous
<07065> (8765)

for Jerusalem
<03389>

and for Zion
<06726>

with a great
<01419>

jealousy
<07068>_.

1:15

And I am very
<01419>

sore
<07110>

displeased
<07107> (8804)

with the heathen
<01471>

[that are] at ease
<07600>_:

for I was but a little
<04592>

displeased
<07107> (8802)_,

and they helped
<05826> (8804)

forward the affliction
<07451>_.

1:16

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

I am returned
<07725> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with mercies
<07356>_:

my house
<01004>

shall be built
<01129> (8735)

in it, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and a line
<06957> (8675) <06961>

shall be stretched forth
<05186> (8735)

upon Jerusalem
<03389>_.

1:17

Cry
<07121> (8798)

yet, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

My cities
<05892>

through prosperity
<02896>

shall yet be spread abroad
<06327> (8799)_;

and the LORD
<03068>

shall yet comfort
<05162> (8765)

Zion
<06726>_,

and shall yet choose
<0977> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{prosperity: Heb. good}

1:18

Then lifted I up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold four
<0702>

horns
<07161>_.

1:19

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto the angel
<04397>

that talked
<01696> (8802)

with me, What [be] these? And he answered
<0559> (8799)

me, These [are] the horns
<07161>

which have scattered
<02219> (8765)

Judah
<03063>_,

Israel
<03478>_,

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

1:20

And the LORD
<03068>

shewed
<07200> (8686)

me four
<0702>

carpenters
<02796>_.

1:21

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, What come
<0935> (8802)

these to do
<06213> (8800)_?

And he spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

These [are] the horns
<07161>

which have scattered
<02219> (8765)

Judah
<03063>_,

so that
<06310>

no man
<0376>

did lift up
<05375> (8804)

his head
<07218>_:

but these are come
<0935> (8799)

to fray
<02729> (8687)

them, to cast out
<03034> (8763)

the horns
<07161>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_,

which lifted up
<05375> (8802)

[their] horn
<07161>

over the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>

to scatter
<02219> (8763)

it.
