1
In the eighth
month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the
L
ORD
unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
The
L
ORD
hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts.
4
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and
from
your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the
L
ORD
.
5
Your fathers, where
are
they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the
L
ORD
of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which
is
the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the
L
ORD
unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that
were
in the bottom; and behind him
were there
red horses, speckled, and white.
9
Then said I, O my lord, what
are
these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these
be
.
10
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These
are they
whom the
L
ORD
hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11
And they answered the angel of the
L
ORD
that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12
Then the angel of the
L
ORD
answered and said, O
L
ORD
of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13
And the
L
ORD
answered the angel that talked with me
with
good words
and
comfortable words.
14
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen
that are
at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16
Therefore thus saith the
L
ORD
; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the
L
ORD
shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What
be
these? And he answered me, These
are
the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20
And the
L
ORD
shewed me four carpenters.
21
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These
are
the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up
their
horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
