Zechariah 1:1--8:23

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)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath been sore
<07110>
displeased
<07107> (8804)
with your fathers
<01>_.
{sore...: Heb. with displeasure}
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>_.
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>_.
Your fathers
<01>_,
where [are] they? and the prophets
<05030>_,
do they live
<02421> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_?
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}
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)_,
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}
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].
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>_.
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)_.
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>_?
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
Then lifted I up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold four
<0702>
horns
<07161>_.
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>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
shewed
<07200> (8686)
me four
<0702>
carpenters
<02796>_.
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.
I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>
again, and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a man
<0376>
with a measuring
<04060>
line
<02256>
in his hand
<03027>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Whither goest
<01980> (8802)
thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, To measure
<04058> (8800)
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to see
<07200> (8800)
what
<04100>
[is] the breadth
<07341>
thereof, and what [is] the length
<0753>
thereof.
And, behold, the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me went forth
<03318> (8802)_,
and another
<0312>
angel
<04397>
went out
<03318> (8802)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Run
<07323> (8798)_,
speak
<01696> (8761)
to this
<01975>
young man
<05288>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
shall be inhabited
<03427> (8799)
[as] towns without walls
<06519>
for the multitude
<07230>
of men
<0120>
and cattle
<0929>
therein
<08432>_:
For I, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
will be unto her a wall
<02346>
of fire
<0784>
round about
<05439>_,
and will be the glory
<03519>
in the midst
<08432>
of her.
Ho
<01945>_,
ho
<01945>_,
[come forth], and flee
<05127> (8798)
from the land
<0776>
of the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I have spread you abroad
<06566> (8765)
as the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Deliver
<04422> (8734)
thyself, O
<01945>
Zion
<06726>_,
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
[with] the daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
After
<0310>
the glory
<03519>
hath he sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto the nations
<01471>
which spoiled
<07997> (8802)
you: for he that toucheth
<05060> (8802)
you toucheth
<05060> (8802)
the apple
<0892>
of his eye
<05869>_.
For, behold, I will shake
<05130> (8688)
mine hand
<03027>
upon them, and they shall be a spoil
<07998>
to their servants
<05647> (8802)_:
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me.
Sing
<07442> (8798)
and rejoice
<08055> (8798)_,
O daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_:
for, lo, I come
<0935> (8802)_,
and I will dwell
<07931> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And many
<07227>
nations
<01471>
shall be joined
<03867> (8738)
to the LORD
<03068>
in that day
<03117>_,
and shall be my people
<05971>_:
and I will dwell
<07931> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of thee, and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto thee.
And the LORD
<03068>
shall inherit
<05157> (8804)
Judah
<03063>
his portion
<02506>
in the holy
<06944>
land
<0127>_,
and shall choose
<0977> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>
again.
Be silent
<02013> (8761)_,
O all flesh
<01320>_,
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
for he is raised up
<05782> (8738)
out of his holy
<06944>
habitation
<04583>_.
{his...: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
And he shewed
<07200> (8686)
me Joshua
<03091>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>
standing
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and Satan
<07854>
standing
<05975> (8802)
at his right hand
<03225>
to resist
<07853> (8800)
him. {Satan: that is, an adversary} {to...: Heb. to be his adversary}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Satan
<07854>_,
The LORD
<03068>
rebuke
<01605> (8799)
thee, O Satan
<07854>_;
even the LORD
<03068>
that hath chosen
<0977> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>
rebuke
<01605> (8799)
thee: [is] not this a brand
<0181>
plucked
<05337> (8716)
out of the fire
<0784>_?
Now Joshua
<03091>
was clothed
<03847> (8803)
with filthy
<06674>
garments
<0899>_,
and stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
the angel
<04397>_.
And he answered
<06030> (8799)
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto those that stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take away
<05493> (8685)
the filthy
<06674>
garments
<0899>
from him. And unto him he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold
<07200> (8798)_,
I have caused thine iniquity
<05771>
to pass
<05674> (8689)
from thee, and I will clothe
<03847> (8687)
thee with change of raiment
<04254>_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let them set
<07760> (8799)
a fair
<02889>
mitre
<06797>
upon his head
<07218>_.
So they set
<07760> (8799)
a fair
<02889>
mitre
<06797>
upon his head
<07218>_,
and clothed
<03847> (8686)
him with garments
<0899>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood by
<05975> (8802)_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
protested
<05749> (8686)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
If thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)
in my ways
<01870>_,
and if thou wilt keep
<08104> (8799)
my charge
<04931>_,
then thou shalt also judge
<01777> (8799)
my house
<01004>_,
and shalt also keep
<08104> (8799)
my courts
<02691>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8804)
thee places to walk
<04108> (8688)
among these that stand by
<05975> (8802)_.
{charge: or, ordinance} {places...: Heb. walks}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
now, O Joshua
<03091>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
thou, and thy fellows
<07453>
that sit
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
thee: for they [are] men
<0582>
wondered at
<04159>_:
for, behold, I will bring forth
<0935> (8688)
my servant
<05650>
the BRANCH
<06780>_.
{wondered...: Heb. of wonder, or, sign}
For behold the stone
<068>
that I have laid
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
Joshua
<03091>_;
upon one
<0259>
stone
<068>
[shall be] seven
<07651>
eyes
<05869>_:
behold, I will engrave
<06605> (8764)
the graving
<06603>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and I will remove
<04185> (8804)
the iniquity
<05771>
of that land
<0776>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_.
In that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall ye call
<07121> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his neighbour
<07453>
under the vine
<01612>
and under the fig tree
<08384>_.
And the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me came again
<07725> (8799)_,
and waked
<05782> (8686)
me, as a man
<0376>
that is wakened
<05782> (8735)
out of his sleep
<08142>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, What seest
<07200> (8802)
thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have looked
<07200> (8804)_,
and behold a candlestick
<04501>
all [of] gold
<02091>_,
with a bowl
<01531>
upon the top
<07218>
of it, and his seven
<07651>
lamps
<05216>
thereon, and seven
<07651>
pipes
<04166>
to the seven
<07651>
lamps
<05216>_,
which [are] upon the top
<07218>
thereof: {a bowl: Heb. her bowl} {seven pipes...: or, seven several pipes to the lamps}
And two
<08147>
olive trees
<02132>
by it, one
<0259>
upon the right
<03225>
[side] of the bowl
<01543>_,
and the other
<0259>
upon the left
<08040>
[side] thereof.
So I answered
<06030> (8799)
and spake
<0559> (8799)
to the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What [are] these, my lord
<0113>_?
Then the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou not what these be? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
No, my lord
<0113>_.
Then he answered
<06030> (8799)
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This [is] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Not by might
<02428>_,
nor by power
<03581>_,
but by my spirit
<07307>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{might: or, army}
Who [art] thou, O great
<01419>
mountain
<02022>_?
before
<06440>
Zerubbabel
<02216>
[thou shalt become] a plain
<04334>_:
and he shall bring forth
<03318> (8689)
the headstone
<068> <07222>
[thereof with] shoutings
<08663>_,
[crying], Grace
<02580>_,
grace
<02580>
unto it.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The hands
<03027>
of Zerubbabel
<02216>
have laid the foundation
<03245> (8765)
of this house
<01004>_;
his hands
<03027>
shall also finish
<01214> (8762)
it; and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto you.
For who hath despised
<0936> (8804)
the day
<03117>
of small things
<06996>_?
for they shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)_,
and shall see
<07200> (8804)
the plummet
<068> <0913>
in the hand
<03027>
of Zerubbabel
<02216>
[with] those seven
<07651>_;
they [are] the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which run to and fro
<07751> (8789)
through the whole earth
<0776>_.
{for they...: or, since the seven eyes of the LORD shall rejoice} {plummet: Heb. stone of tin}
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
I, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [are] these two
<08147>
olive trees
<02132>
upon the right
<03225>
[side] of the candlestick
<04501>
and upon the left
<08040>
[side] thereof?
And I answered
<06030> (8799)
again
<08145>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [be these] two
<08147>
olive
<02132>
branches
<07641>
which through
<03027>
the two
<08147>
golden
<02091>
pipes
<06804>
empty
<07324> (8688)
the golden
<02091>
[oil] out of themselves? {through: Heb. by the hand of} {empty...: or, empty out of themselves oil into the gold} {the golden oil: Heb. the gold}
And he answered
<0559> (8799)
me and said
<0559> (8800)_,
Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou not what these [be]? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
No, my lord
<0113>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he, These [are] the two
<08147>
anointed
<03323>
ones
<01121>_,
that stand
<05975> (8802)
by the Lord
<0113>
of the whole earth
<0776>_.
{anointed...: Heb. sons of oil}
Then I turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a flying
<05774> (8802)
roll
<04039>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, What seest
<07200> (8802)
thou? And I answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I see
<07200> (8802)
a flying
<05774> (8802)
roll
<04039>_;
the length
<0753>
thereof [is] twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the breadth
<07341>
thereof ten
<06235>
cubits
<0520>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, This [is] the curse
<0423>
that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)
over the face
<06440>
of the whole earth
<0776>_:
for every one that stealeth
<01589> (8802)
shall be cut off
<05352> (8738)
[as] on this side according
<03644>
to it; and every one that sweareth
<07650> (8737)
shall be cut off
<05352> (8738)
[as] on that side according
<03644>
to it. {every one that stealeth...: or, every one of this people that stealeth holdeth himself guiltless, as it doth}
I will bring it forth
<03318> (8689)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and it shall enter
<0935> (8804)
into the house
<01004>
of the thief
<01590>_,
and into the house
<01004>
of him that sweareth
<07650> (8737)
falsely
<08267>
by my name
<08034>_:
and it shall remain
<03885> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of his house
<01004>_,
and shall consume
<03615> (8765)
it with the timber
<06086>
thereof and the stones
<068>
thereof.
Then the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me went forth
<03318> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Lift up
<05375> (8798)
now thine eyes
<05869>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
what [is] this that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] it? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] an ephah
<0374>
that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)_.
He said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, This [is] their resemblance
<05869>
through all the earth
<0776>_.
And, behold, there was lifted up
<05375> (8738)
a talent
<03603>
of lead
<05777>_:
and this [is] a
<0259>
woman
<0802>
that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<08432>
of the ephah
<0374>_.
{talent: or, weighty piece}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] wickedness
<07564>_.
And he cast
<07993> (8686)
it into the midst
<08432>
of the ephah
<0374>_;
and he cast
<07993> (8686)
the weight
<068>
of lead
<05777>
upon the mouth
<06310>
thereof.
Then lifted I up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, there came out
<03318> (8802)
two
<08147>
women
<0802>_,
and the wind
<07307>
[was] in their wings
<03671>_;
for they had
<02007>
wings
<03671>
like the wings
<03671>
of a stork
<02624>_:
and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
the ephah
<0374>
between the earth
<0776>
and the heaven
<08064>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I to the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me, Whither do these bear
<03212> (8688)
the ephah
<0374>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, To build
<01129> (8800)
it an house
<01004>
in the land
<0776>
of Shinar
<08152>_:
and it shall be established
<03559> (8717)_,
and set
<03240> (8717)
there upon her own base
<04369>_.
And I turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, there came
<03318> (0)
four
<0702>
chariots
<04818>
out
<03318> (8802)
from between two
<08147>
mountains
<02022>_;
and the mountains
<02022>
[were] mountains
<02022>
of brass
<05178>_.
In the first
<07223>
chariot
<04818>
[were] red
<0122>
horses
<05483>_;
and in the second
<08145>
chariot
<04818>
black
<07838>
horses
<05483>_;
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>_.
{bay: or, strong}
Then I answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
that talked
<01696> (8802)
with me, What [are] these, my lord
<0113>_?
And the angel
<04397>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, These [are] the four
<0702>
spirits
<07307>
of the heavens
<08064>_,
which go forth
<03318> (8802)
from standing
<03320> (8692)
before the Lord
<0113>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{spirits: or, winds}
The black
<07838>
horses
<05483>
which [are] therein go forth
<03318> (8802)
into the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_;
and the white
<03836>
go forth
<03318> (8804)
after
<0310>
them; and the grisled
<01261>
go forth
<03318> (8804)
toward the south
<08486>
country
<0776>_.
And the bay
<0554>
went forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and sought
<01245> (8762)
to go
<03212> (8800)
that they might walk to and fro
<01980> (8692)
through the earth
<0776>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Get you hence
<03212> (8798)_,
walk to and fro
<01980> (8690)
through the earth
<0776>_.
So they walked to and fro
<01980> (8691)
through the earth
<0776>_.
Then cried
<02199> (8686)
he upon
<0853>
me, and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold
<07200> (8798)_,
these that go
<03318> (8802)
toward the north
<06828>
country
<0776>
have quieted
<05117> (8689)
my spirit
<07307>
in the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8800)
of [them of] the captivity
<01473>_,
[even] of Heldai
<02469>_,
of Tobijah
<02900>_,
and of Jedaiah
<03048>_,
which are come
<0935> (8804)
from Babylon
<0894>_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
thou the same day
<03117>_,
and go
<0935> (8804)
into the house
<01004>
of Josiah
<02977>
the son
<01121>
of Zephaniah
<06846>_;
Then take
<03947> (8804)
silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
and make
<06213> (8804)
crowns
<05850>_,
and set
<07760> (8804)
[them] upon the head
<07218>
of Joshua
<03091>
the son
<01121>
of Josedech
<03087>_,
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_;
And speak
<0559> (8804)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold the man
<0376>
whose name
<08034>
[is] The BRANCH
<06780>_;
and he shall grow up
<06779> (8799)
out of his place, and he shall build
<01129> (8804)
the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
{grow...: or, branch up from under him}
Even he shall build
<01129> (8799)
the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and he shall bear
<05375> (8799)
the glory
<01935>_,
and shall sit
<03427> (8804)
and rule
<04910> (8804)
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 them both
<08147>_.
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>_.
And they [that are] far off
<07350>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
and build
<01129> (8804)
in the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently
<08085> (8800)
obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_.
And it came to pass in the fourth
<0702>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Darius
<01867>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Zechariah
<02148>
in the fourth
<0702>
[day] of the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_,
[even] in Chisleu
<03691>_;
When they had sent
<07971> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of God
<0410>
Sherezer
<08272>
and Regemmelech
<07278>_,
and their men
<0582>_,
to pray
<02470> (8763)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
{pray...: Heb. intreat the face of}
[And] to speak
<0559> (8800)
unto the priests
<03548>
which [were] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and to the prophets
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Should I weep
<01058> (8799)
in the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>_,
separating
<05144> (8736)
myself, as I have done
<06213> (8804)
these so many years
<08141>_?
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Speak
<0559> (8798)
unto all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
and to the priests
<03548>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When ye fasted
<06684> (8804)
and mourned
<05594> (8800)
in the fifth
<02549>
and seventh
<07637>
[month], even those seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
did ye at all
<06684> (8800)
fast
<06684> (8804)
unto me, [even] to me?
And when ye did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and when ye did drink
<08354> (8799)_,
did not ye eat
<0398> (8802)
[for yourselves], and drink
<08354> (8802)
[for yourselves]? {did not ye: or, be not ye they that}
[Should ye] not [hear] the words
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath cried
<07121> (8804)
by
<03027>
the former
<07223>
prophets
<05030>_,
when Jerusalem
<03389>
was inhabited
<03427> (8802)
and in prosperity
<07961>_,
and the cities
<05892>
thereof round about her
<05439>_,
when [men] inhabited
<03427> (8802)
the south
<05045>
and the plain
<08219>_?
{Should...: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Zechariah
<02148>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Execute
<08199> (8798)
true
<0571>
judgment
<04941>_,
and shew
<06213> (8798)
mercy
<02617>
and compassions
<07356>
every man
<0376>
to his brother
<0251>_:
{Execute...: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
And oppress
<06231> (8799)
not the widow
<0490>_,
nor the fatherless
<03490>_,
the stranger
<01616>_,
nor the poor
<06041>_;
and let none of you imagine
<02803> (8799)
evil
<07451>
against
<0376>
his brother
<0251>
in your heart
<03824>_.
But they refused
<03985> (8762)
to hearken
<07181> (8687)_,
and pulled away
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)
the shoulder
<03802>_,
and stopped
<03513> (8689)
their ears
<0241>_,
that they should not hear
<08085> (8800)_.
{pulled...: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, they made
<07760> (8804)
their hearts
<03820>
[as] an adamant stone
<08068>_,
lest they should hear
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>_,
and the words
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
in his spirit
<07307>
by
<03027>
the former
<07223>
prophets
<05030>_:
therefore came a great
<01419>
wrath
<07110>
from the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried
<07121> (8804)_,
and they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
so they cried
<07121> (8799)_,
and I would not hear
<08085> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
But I scattered them with a whirlwind
<05590> (8762)
among all the nations
<01471>
whom they knew
<03045> (8804)
not. Thus the land
<0776>
was desolate
<08074> (8738)
after
<0310>
them, that no man passed through
<05674> (8802)
nor returned
<07725> (8802)_:
for they laid
<07760> (8799)
the pleasant
<02532>
land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. land of desire}
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
came [to me], saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
I was jealous
<07065> (8765)
for Zion
<06726>
with great
<01419>
jealousy
<07068>_,
and I was jealous
<07065> (8765)
for her with great
<01419>
fury
<02534>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
I am returned
<07725> (8804)
unto Zion
<06726>_,
and will dwell
<07931> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and Jerusalem
<03389>
shall be called
<07121> (8738)
a city
<05892>
of truth
<0571>_;
and the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
the holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
There shall yet old men
<02205>
and old women
<02205>
dwell
<03427> (8799)
in the streets
<07339>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and every man
<0376>
with his staff
<04938>
in his hand
<03027>
for very
<07230>
age
<03117>_.
{very...: Heb. multitude of days}
And the streets
<07339>
of the city
<05892>
shall be full
<04390> (8735)
of boys
<03206>
and girls
<03207>
playing
<07832> (8764)
in the streets
<07339>
thereof.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
If it be marvellous
<06381> (8735)
in the eyes
<05869>
of the remnant
<07611>
of this people
<05971>
in these days
<03117>_,
should it also be marvellous
<06381> (8735)
in mine eyes
<05869>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{marvellous: or, hard, or, difficult}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Behold, I will save
<03467> (8688)
my people
<05971>
from the east
<04217>
country
<0776>_,
and from the west
<03996> <08121>
country
<0776>_;
{the west...: Heb. the country of the going down of the sun}
And I will bring
<0935> (8689)
them, and they shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
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>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Let your hands
<03027>
be strong
<02388> (8799)_,
ye that hear
<08085> (8802)
in these days
<03117>
these words
<01697>
by the mouth
<06310>
of the prophets
<05030>_,
which [were] in the day
<03117>
[that] the foundation
<03245> (0)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
was laid
<03245> (8795)_,
that the temple
<01964>
might be built
<01129> (8736)_.
For before
<06440>
these days
<03117>
there was
<01961> (8738)
no hire
<07939>
for man
<0120>_,
nor any hire
<07939>
for beast
<0929>_;
neither [was there any] peace
<07965>
to him that went out
<03318> (8802)
or came in
<0935> (8802)
because of the affliction
<06862>_:
for I set
<07971> (8762)
all men
<0120>
every one
<0376>
against his neighbour
<07453>_.
{there was...: or, the hire of man became nothing}
But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue
<07611>
of this people
<05971>
as in the former
<07223>
days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
For the seed
<02233>
[shall be] prosperous
<07965>_;
the vine
<01612>
shall give
<05414> (8799)
her fruit
<06529>_,
and the ground
<0776>
shall give
<05414> (8799)
her increase
<02981>_,
and the heavens
<08064>
shall give
<05414> (8799)
their dew
<02919>_;
and I will cause the remnant
<07611>
of this people
<05971>
to possess
<05157> (8689)
all these [things]. {prosperous: Heb. of peace}
And it shall come 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> (8686)
you, and ye shall be a blessing
<01293>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, [but] let your hands
<03027>
be strong
<02388> (8799)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
As I thought
<02161> (8804)
to punish
<07489> (8687)
you, when your fathers
<01>
provoked me to wrath
<07107> (8687)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and I repented
<05162> (8738)
not:
So again
<07725> (8804)
have I thought
<02161> (8804)
in these days
<03117>
to do well
<03190> (8687)
unto Jerusalem
<03389>
and to the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
ye not.
These [are] the things
<01697>
that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_;
Speak
<01696> (8761)
ye every man
<0376>
the truth
<0571>
to his neighbour
<07453>_;
execute
<08199> (8798)
the judgment
<04941>
of truth
<0571>
and peace
<07965>
in your gates
<08179>_:
{execute...: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}
And let none
<0376>
of you imagine
<02803> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in your hearts
<03824>
against his neighbour
<07453>_;
and love
<0157> (8799)
no false
<08267>
oath
<07621>_:
for all these [are things] that I hate
<08130> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
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> (8798)
the truth
<0571>
and peace
<07965>_.
{feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
[It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come
<0935> (8799)
people
<05971>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of many
<07227>
cities
<05892>_:
And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of one
<0259>
[city] shall go
<01980> (8804)
to another
<0259>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let us go
<03212> (8799)
speedily
<01980> (8800)
to pray
<02470> (8763)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and to seek
<01245> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
I will go
<03212> (8799)
also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray...: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, many
<07227>
people
<05971>
and strong
<06099>
nations
<01471>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to pray
<02470> (8763)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
{to pray...: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
In those days
<03117>
[it shall come to pass], that ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
shall take hold
<02388> (8686)
out of all languages
<03956>
of the nations
<01471>_,
even shall take hold
<02388> (8689)
of the skirt
<03671>
of him that is a Jew
<0376> <03064>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will go
<03212> (8799)
with you: for we have heard
<08085> (8804)
[that] God
<0430>
[is] with you.
