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),
2 The LORD <03068> hath been sore <07110> displeased <07107> (8804) with your fathers <01>.
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>.
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>.
5 Your fathers <01>, where are they? and the prophets <05030>, do they live <02421> (8799) for ever <05769>?
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.
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),
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>.
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.

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>.
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).
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>?
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>.
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>.

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>.
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> .
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>.
18 # Then lifted I up <05375> (8799) mine eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> (8799), and behold four <0702> horns <07161>.
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>.
20 And the LORD <03068> shewed <07200> (8686) me four <0702> carpenters <02796>.
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.
