Zechariah 7:1--8:19

7:1

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>_;

7:2

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}

7:3

[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>_?

7:4

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:5

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?

7:6

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}

7:7

[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}

7:8

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Zechariah
<02148>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:9

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}

7:10

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>_.

7:11

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}

7:12

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}

7:13

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>_:

7:14

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}

8:1

Again the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

came [to me], saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:2

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>_.

8:3

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>_.

8:4

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}

8:5

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.

8:6

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}

8:7

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}

8:8

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>_.

8:9

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)_.

8:10

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}

8:11

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>_.

8:12

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}

8:13

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)_.

8:14

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:

8:15

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.

8:16

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}

8:17

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>_.

8:18

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:19

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}
