[1]In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,[H8800]
[2]The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107[H8804] with your fathersH1.
[3]Therefore sayH559[H8804] thou unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725[H8798] ye unto me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725[H8799] unto you, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[4]Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121[H8804], sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725[H8798] ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085[H8804], nor hearkenH7181[H8689] unto me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[5]Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421[H8799] for everH5769?
[6]But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680[H8765] my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381[H8689] of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161[H8804] to doH6213[H8800] unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with usH8804.
[7]Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249[H6240] monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,[H8800]
[8]I sawH7200[H8804] by nightH3915, and behold a manH376 ridingH7392[H8802] upon a redH122 horseH5483, and he stoodH5975[H8802] among the myrtle treesH1918 that were in the bottomH4699; and behindH310 him were there redH122 horsesH5483, speckledH8320, and whiteH3836.
[9]Then saidH559[H8799] I, O my lordH113, what are these? And the angelH4397 that talkedH1696[H8802] with me saidH559[H8799] unto me, I will shewH7200 thee what these beH8686.
[10]And the manH376 that stoodH5975[H8802] among the myrtle treesH1918 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], These are they whom the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971[H8804] to walkH1980[H8692] to and fro through the earthH776.
[11]And they answeredH6030[H8799] the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 that stoodH5975[H8802] among the myrtle treesH1918, and saidH559[H8799], We have walked to and froH1980[H8694] through the earthH776, and, behold, all the earthH776 sitteth stillH3427[H8802], and is at restH8252.[H8802]
[12]Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, how long wilt thou not have mercyH7355[H8762] on JerusalemH3389 and on the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, against which thou hast had indignationH2194[H8804] these threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141?
[13]And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8799] the angelH4397 that talkedH1696[H8802] with me with goodH2896 wordsH1697 and comfortableH5150 wordsH1697.
[14]So the angelH4397 that communedH1696[H8802] with me saidH559[H8799] unto me, CryH7121[H8798] thou, sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am jealousH7065[H8765] for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068.
[15]And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107[H8804] with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107[H8802], and they helpedH5826[H8804] forward the afflictionH7451.
[16]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725[H8804] to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129[H8735] in it, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and a lineH6957[H8675][H6961] shall be stretched forthH5186[H8735] upon JerusalemH3389.
[17]CryH7121[H8798] yet, sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327[H8799]; and the LORDH3068 shall yet comfortH5162[H8765] ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977[H8804] JerusalemH3389.
[18]Then lifted I upH5375[H8799] mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200[H8799], and behold fourH702 hornsH7161.
[19]And I saidH559[H8799] unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696[H8802] with me, What be these? And he answeredH559[H8799] me, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219[H8765] JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389.
[20]And the LORDH3068 shewedH7200[H8686] me fourH702 carpentersH2796.
[21]Then saidH559[H8799] I, What comeH935[H8802] these to doH6213[H8800]? And he spakeH559[H8799], sayingH559[H8800], These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219[H8765] JudahH3063, so thatH6310 no manH376 did lift upH5375[H8804] his headH7218: but these are comeH935[H8799] to frayH2729[H8687] them, to cast outH3034[H8763] the hornsH7161 of the GentilesH1471, which lifted upH5375[H8802] their hornH7161 over the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatterH2219 itH8763.
