Zechariah 9:1--11:17

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 the eyes
<05869>

of man
<0120>_,

as of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[shall be] toward the LORD
<03068>_.

9:2

And Hamath
<02574>

also shall border
<01379> (8799)

thereby; Tyrus
<06865>_,

and Zidon
<06721>_,

though it be very
<03966>

wise
<02449> (8804)_.

9:3

And Tyrus
<06865>

did build
<01129> (8799)

herself a strong hold
<04692>_,

and heaped up
<06651> (8799)

silver
<03701>

as the dust
<06083>_,

and fine gold
<02742>

as the mire
<02916>

of the streets
<02351>_.

9:4

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

will cast her out
<03423> (8686)_,

and he will smite
<05221> (8689)

her power
<02428>

in the sea
<03220>_;

and she shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_.

9:5

Ashkelon
<0831>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and fear
<03372> (8799)_;

Gaza
<05804>

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

sorrowful
<02342> (8799)_,

and Ekron
<06138>_;

for her expectation
<04007>

shall be ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;

and the king
<04428>

shall perish
<06> (8804)

from Gaza
<05804>_,

and Ashkelon
<0831>

shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_.

9:6

And a bastard
<04464>

shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in Ashdod
<0795>_,

and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the pride
<01347>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

9:7

And I will take away
<05493> (8689)

his blood
<01818>

out of his mouth
<06310>_,

and his abominations
<08251>

from between his teeth
<08127>_:

but he that remaineth
<07604> (8738)_,

even 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>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

9:8

And I will encamp
<02583> (8804)

about mine house
<01004>

because of the army
<04675>_,

because of him that passeth by
<05674> (8802)_,

and because of him that returneth
<07725> (8802)_:

and no oppressor
<05065> (8802)

shall pass through
<05674> (8799)

them any more: for now have I seen
<07200> (8804)

with mine eyes
<05869>_.

9:9

Rejoice
<01523> (8798)

greatly
<03966>_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_;

shout
<07321> (8685)_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

behold, thy King
<04428>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

unto thee: he [is] just
<06662>_,

and having salvation
<03467> (8737)_;

lowly
<06041>_,

and riding
<07392> (8802)

upon an ass
<02543>_,

and upon a colt
<05895>

the foal
<01121>

of an ass
<0860>_.

{having...: or, saving himself}

9:10

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the chariot
<07393>

from Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the horse
<05483>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the battle
<04421>

bow
<07198>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

and he shall speak
<01696> (8765)

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>_.

9:11

As for thee also, by the blood
<01818>

of thy covenant
<01285>

I have sent forth
<07971> (8765)

thy prisoners
<0615>

out of the pit
<0953>

wherein [is] no water
<04325>_.

{by...: or, whose covenant is by blood}

9:12

Turn
<07725> (8798)

you to the strong hold
<01225>_,

ye prisoners
<0615>

of hope
<08615>_:

even to day
<03117>

do I declare
<05046> (8688)

[that] I will render
<07725> (8686)

double
<04932>

unto thee;

9:13

When I have bent
<01869> (8804)

Judah
<03063>

for me, filled
<04390> (8765)

the bow
<07198>

with Ephraim
<0669>_,

and raised up
<05782> (8790)

thy sons
<01121>_,

O Zion
<06726>_,

against thy sons
<01121>_,

O Greece
<03120>_,

and made
<07760> (8804)

thee as the sword
<02719>

of a mighty man
<01368>_.

9:14

And the LORD
<03068>

shall be seen
<07200> (8735)

over them, and his arrow
<02671>

shall go forth
<03318> (8804)

as the lightning
<01300>_:

and the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

shall blow
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_,

and shall go
<01980> (8804)

with whirlwinds
<05591>

of the south
<08486>_.

9:15

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

shall defend
<01598> (8686)

them; and they shall devour
<0398> (8804)_,

and subdue
<03533> (8804)

with sling
<07050>

stones
<068>_;

and they shall drink
<08354> (8804)_,

[and] make a noise
<01993> (8804)

as through wine
<03196>_;

and they shall be filled
<04390> (8804)

like bowls
<04219>_,

[and] as the corners
<02106>

of the altar
<04196>_.

{with...: or, the stones of the sling} {be...: or, fill both the bowls, etc}

9:16

And the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>

shall save
<03467> (8689)

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 up as an ensign
<05264> (8706)

upon his land
<0127>_.

9:17

For how great [is] his goodness
<02898>_,

and how great [is] his beauty
<03308>_!

corn
<01715>

shall make the young men
<0970>

cheerful
<05107> (8766)_,

and new wine
<08492>

the maids
<01330>_.

{cheerful: or, grow, or, speak}

10:1

Ask
<07592> (8798)

ye of the LORD
<03068>

rain
<04306>

in the time
<06256>

of the latter rain
<04456>_;

[so] the LORD
<03068>

shall make
<06213> (8802)

bright clouds
<02385>_,

and give
<05414> (8799)

them showers
<01653>

of rain
<04306>_,

to every one
<0376>

grass
<06212>

in the field
<07704>_.

{bright...: or, lightnings}

10:2

For the idols
<08655>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

vanity
<0205>_,

and the diviners
<07080> (8802)

have seen
<02372> (8804)

a lie
<08267>_,

and have told
<01696> (8762)

false
<07723>

dreams
<02472>_;

they comfort
<05162> (8762)

in vain
<01892>_:

therefore they went
<05265> (8804)

their way as a flock
<06629>_,

they were troubled
<06031> (8799)_,

because [there was] no shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.

{idols: Heb. teraphims} {were...: or, answered that, etc}

10:3

Mine anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8804)

against the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,

and I punished
<06485> (8799)

the goats
<06260>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath visited
<06485> (8804)

his flock
<05739>

the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and hath made
<07760> (8804)

them as his goodly
<01935>

horse
<05483>

in the battle
<04421>_.

{punished: Heb. visited upon}

10:4

Out of him came forth
<03318> (8799)

the corner
<06438>_,

out of him the nail
<03489>_,

out of him the battle
<04421>

bow
<07198>_,

out of him every oppressor
<05065> (8802)

together
<03162>_.

10:5

And they shall be as mighty
<01368>

[men], which tread down
<0947> (8802)

[their enemies] in the mire
<02916>

of the streets
<02351>

in the battle
<04421>_:

and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)_,

because the LORD
<03068>

[is] with them, and the riders
<07392> (8802)

on horses
<05483>

shall be confounded
<03001> (8689)_.

{the riders...: or, they shall make the riders on horses ashamed}

10:6

And I will strengthen
<01396> (8765)

the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and I will save
<03467> (8686)

the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

and I will bring them again to place
<03427> (8689)

them; for I have mercy
<07355> (8765)

upon them: and they shall be as though
<0834>

I had not cast them off
<02186> (8804)_:

for I [am] the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and will hear
<06030> (8799)

them.

10:7

And [they of] Ephraim
<0669>

shall be like a mighty
<01368>

[man], and their heart
<03820>

shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)

as through wine
<03196>_:

yea, their children
<01121>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and be glad
<08055> (8804)_;

their heart
<03820>

shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_.

10:8

I will hiss
<08319> (8799)

for them, and gather
<06908> (8762)

them; for I have redeemed
<06299> (8804)

them: and they shall increase
<07235> (8804)

as they have increased
<07235> (8804)_.

10:9

And I will sow
<02232> (8799)

them among the people
<05971>_:

and they shall remember
<02142> (8799)

me in far countries
<04801>_;

and they shall live
<02421> (8804)

with their children
<01121>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8804)_.

10:10

I will bring them again
<07725> (8689)

also out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and gather
<06908> (8762)

them out of Assyria
<0804>_;

and I will bring
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>

and Lebanon
<03844>_;

and [place] shall not be found
<04672> (8735)

for them.

10:11

And he shall pass through
<05674> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

with affliction
<06869>_,

and shall smite
<05221> (8689)

the waves
<01530>

in the sea
<03220>_,

and all the deeps
<04688>

of the river
<02975>

shall dry up
<03001> (8689)_:

and the pride
<01347>

of Assyria
<0804>

shall be brought down
<03381> (8717)_,

and the sceptre
<07626>

of Egypt
<04714>

shall depart away
<05493> (8799)_.

10:12

And I will strengthen
<01396> (8765)

them in the LORD
<03068>_;

and they shall walk up and down
<01980> (8691)

in his name
<08034>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

11:1

Open
<06605> (8798)

thy doors
<01817>_,

O Lebanon
<03844>_,

that the fire
<0784>

may devour
<0398> (8799)

thy cedars
<0730>_.

11:2

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

fir tree
<01265>_;

for the cedar
<0730>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;

because the mighty
<0117>

are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

O ye oaks
<0437>

of Bashan
<01316>_;

for the forest
<03293>

of the vintage
<01208> (8675) <01219> (8803)

is come down
<03381> (8804)_.

{mighty: or, gallants} {the forest...: or, the defenced forest}

11:3

[There is] a voice
<06963>

of the howling
<03215>

of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_;

for their glory
<0155>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

a voice
<06963>

of the roaring
<07581>

of young lions
<03715>_;

for the pride
<01347>

of Jordan
<03383>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.

11:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_;

Feed
<07462> (8798)

the flock
<06629>

of the slaughter
<02028>_;

11:5

Whose possessors
<07069> (8802)

slay
<02026> (8799)

them, and hold themselves not guilty
<0816> (8799)_:

and they that sell
<04376> (8802)

them say
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_;

for I am rich
<06238> (8686)_:

and their own shepherds
<07462> (8802)

pity
<02550> (8799)

them not.

11:6

For I will no more pity
<02550> (8799)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

but, lo, I will deliver
<04672> (8688)

the men
<0120>

every one
<0376>

into his neighbour's
<07453>

hand
<03027>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of his king
<04428>_:

and they shall smite
<03807> (8765)

the land
<0776>_,

and out of their hand
<03027>

I will not deliver
<05337> (8686)

[them]. {deliver: Heb. make to be found}

11:7

And I will feed
<07462> (8799)

the flock
<06629>

of slaughter
<02028>_,

[even] you
<03651>_,

O poor
<06041>

of the flock
<06629>_.

And I took
<03947> (8799)

unto me two
<08147>

staves
<04731>_;

the one
<0259>

I called
<07121> (8804)

Beauty
<05278>_,

and the other
<0259>

I called
<07121> (8804)

Bands
<02254> (8802)_;

and I fed
<07462> (8799)

the flock
<06629>_.

{even...: or, verily the poor} {Bands: or, Binders}

11:8

Three
<07969>

shepherds
<07462> (8802)

also I cut off
<03582> (8686)

in one
<0259>

month
<03391>_;

and my soul
<05315>

lothed
<07114> (8799)

them, and their soul
<05315>

also abhorred
<0973> (8804)

me. {lothed...: Heb. was straightened for them}

11:9

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, I will not feed
<07462> (8799)

you: that that dieth
<04191> (8801)_,

let it die
<04191> (8799)_;

and that that is to be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,

let it be cut off
<03582> (8735)_;

and let the rest
<07604> (8737)

eat
<0398> (8799)

every one
<0802>

the flesh
<01320>

of another
<07468>_.

{another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}

11:10

And I took
<03947> (8799)

my staff
<04731>_,

[even] Beauty
<05278>_,

and cut it asunder
<01438> (8799)_,

that I might break
<06565> (8687)

my covenant
<01285>

which I had made
<03772> (8804)

with all the people
<05971>_.

11:11

And it was broken
<06565> (8714)

in that day
<03117>_:

and so the poor
<06041>

of the flock
<06629>

that waited
<08104> (8802)

upon me knew
<03045> (8799)

that it [was] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{so...: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew}

11:12

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If ye think
<05869>

good
<02896>_,

give
<03051> (8798)

[me] my price
<07939>_;

and if not, forbear
<02308> (8798)_.

So they weighed
<08254> (8799)

for my price
<07939>

thirty
<07970>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.

{If ye...: Heb. If it be good in your eyes}

11:13

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Cast
<07993> (8685)

it unto the potter
<03335> (8802)_:

a goodly
<0145>

price
<03366>

that I was prised at
<03365> (8804)

of them. And I took
<03947> (8799)

the thirty
<07970>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

them to the potter
<03335> (8802)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

11:14

Then I cut asunder
<01438> (8799)

mine other
<08145>

staff
<04731>_,

[even] Bands
<02254> (8802)_,

that I might break
<06565> (8687)

the brotherhood
<0264>

between Judah

and Israel

{Bands: or, Binders}

11:15

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Take
<03947> (8798)

unto thee yet the instruments
<03627>

of a foolish
<0196>

shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.

11:16

For, lo, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)

a shepherd
<07462> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_,

[which] shall not visit
<06485> (8799)

those that be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,

neither shall seek
<01245> (8762)

the young one
<05289>_,

nor heal
<07495> (8762)

that that is broken
<07665> (8737)_,

nor feed
<03557> (8770)

that that standeth
<05324> (8737)

still: but he shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

of the fat
<01277>_,

and tear
<06561> (0)

their claws
<06541>

in pieces
<06561> (8762)_.

{cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}

11:17

Woe
<01945>

to the idol
<0457>

shepherd
<07473>

that leaveth
<05800> (8802)

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
<03001> (8800)

dried up
<03001> (8799)_,

and his right
<03225>

eye
<05869>

shall be utterly
<03543> (8800)

darkened
<03543> (8799)_.
