In the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > month <2320 chodesh > , in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > , came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 02 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been sore displeased <7107 qatsaph > with your fathers <1> .
: 03 Therefore say <0559 >amar > thou unto them , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; Turn <7725 shuwb > ye unto me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , and I will turn <7725 shuwb > unto you , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .
: 04 Be ye not as your fathers <1> , unto whom the former <7223 ri>shown > prophets <5030 nabiy> > have cried <7121 qara> > , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; Turn <7725 shuwb > ye now <4994 na> > from your evil <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek > , and [ from ] your evil <7451 ra< > doings <4611 ma<alal > : but they did not hear <8085 shama< > , nor <3808 lo> > hearken <7181 qashab > unto me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 05 Your fathers <1> , where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] they ? and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > , do they live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 <owlam > ?
: 06 But my words <1697 dabar > and my statutes <2706 choq > , which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > , did they not take <5381 nasag > hold <5381 nasag > of your fathers <1> ? and they returned <7725 shuwb > and said <0559 >amar > , Like as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > thought <2161 zamam > to do <6213 <asah > unto us , according to our ways <1870 derek > , and according to our doings <4611 ma<alal > , so <3651 ken > hath he dealt <6213 <asah > with us .
: 07 . Upon the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > day <3117 yowm > of the eleventh month <2320 chodesh > , which <1931 huw> > [ is ] the month <2320 chodesh > Sebat <7627 Sh@bat > , in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > , came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah > , the son <1121 ben > of Iddo <5714 <Iddow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 08 I saw <7200 ra>ah > by night <3915 layil > , and behold <2009 hinneh > a man <0376 >iysh > riding <7392 rakab > upon a red <0122 >adom > horse <5483 cuwc > , and he stood <5975 <amad > among <0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees that [ were ] in the bottom <4699 m@tsullah > ; and behind <0310 >achar > him [ were there ] red <0122 >adom > horses <5483 cuwc > , speckled <8320 saruq > , and white <3836 laban > .
: 09 Then said <0559 >amar > I , O my lord <0113 >adown > , what <4100 mah > [ are ] these <0428 >el - leh > ? And the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me said <0559 >amar > unto me , I will shew <7200 ra>ah > thee what <4100 mah > these <0428 >el - leh > [ be ] .
: 10 And the man <0376 >iysh > that stood <5975 <amad > among <0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , These <0428 >el - leh > [ are they ] whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > to walk <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth <0776 >erets > .
: 11 And they answered <6030 <anah > the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that stood <5975 <amad > among <0996 beyn > the myrtle <1918 hadac > trees , and said <0559 >amar > , We have walked <1980 halak > to and fro through the earth <0776 >erets > , and , behold <2009 hinneh > , all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets > sitteth <3427 yashab > still , and is at rest <8252 shaqat > .
: 12 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , how <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > wilt thou not have mercy <7355 racham > on Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and on the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , against which <0834 >aher > thou hast had indignation <2194 za<am > these <2088 zeh > threescore <7657 shib<iym . > and ten years <8141 shaneh > ?
: 13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me [ with ] good <2896 towb > words <1697 dabar > [ and ] comfortable <5150 nichuwm > words <1697 dabar > .
: 14 So the angel <4397 mal>ak > that communed <1696 dabar > with me said <0559 >amar > unto me , Cry <7121 qara> > thou , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; I am jealous <7065 qana> > for Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and for Zion <6726 Tsiyown > with a great <1419 gadowl > jealousy <7068 qin>ah > .
: 15 And I am very sore displeased <7107 qatsaph > with the heathen <1471 gowy> [ that are ] at ease <7600 sha>anan > : for I was but a little <4592 m@<at > displeased <7107 qatsaph > , and they helped <5826 <azar > forward the affliction <7451 ra< > .
: 16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; I am returned <7725 shuwb > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > with mercies <7356 racham > : my house <1004 bayith > shall be built <1129 banah > in it , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , and a line <6957 qav > shall be stretched <5186 natah > forth upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .
: 17 Cry <7121 qara> > yet <5750 <owd > , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; My cities <5892 <iyr > through prosperity <2896 towb > shall yet <5750 <owd > be spread <6327 puwts > abroad <6527 parat > ; and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall yet <5750 <owd > comfort <5162 nacham > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and shall yet <5750 <owd > choose <0977 bachar > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .
: 18 . Then lifted <5375 nasa> > I up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > , and saw <7200 ra>ah > , and behold <2009 hinneh > four <0702 >arba< > horns <7161 qeren > .
: 19 And I said <0559 >amar > unto the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me , What <4100 mah > [ be ] these <0428 >el - leh > ? And he answered <0559 >amar > me , These <0428 >el - leh > [ are ] the horns <7161 qeren > which <0834 >aher > have scattered <2219 zarah > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .
: 20 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me four <0702 >arba< > carpenters <2796 charash > .
: 21 Then said <0559 >amar > I , What <4100 mah > come <0935 bow> > these <0428 >el - leh > to do <6213 <asah > ? And he spake <0559 >amar > , saying <0559 >amar > , These <0428 >el - leh > [ are ] the horns <7161 qeren > which <0834 >aher > have scattered <2219 zarah > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , so that no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > did lift <5375 nasa> > up his head <7218 ro>sh > : but these <0428 >el - leh > are come <0935 bow> > to fray <2729 charad > them , to cast <3034 yadah > out the horns <7161 qeren > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > , which lifted <5375 nasa> > up [ their ] horn <7161 qeren > over <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > to scatter <2219 zarah > it .
: Zechariah 2
: 01 . I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > again , and looked <7200 ra>ah > , and behold <2009 hinneh > a man <0376 >iysh > with a measuring <4060 middah > line <2256 chebel > in his hand <3027 yad > .

And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , To measure <4058 madad > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , to see <7200 ra>ah > what <4100 mah > [ is ] the breadth <7341 rochab > thereof , and what <4100 mah > [ is ] the length <0753 >orek > thereof .
: 03 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696dabar > with me went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > , and another <0312 >acher > angel <4397 mal>ak > went <3318 yatsa> > out to meet <7125 qir>ah > him ,

: 06 . Ho <1945 howy > , ho <1945 howy > , [ come forth ] , and flee <5127 nuwc > from the land <0776 >erets > of the north <6828 tsaphown > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for I have spread <6566 paras > you abroad <6566 paras > as the four <0702 >arba< > winds <7307 ruwach > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 08 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; After <0310 >achar > the glory <3519 kabowd > hath he sent <7971 shalach > me unto the nations <1471 gowy > which spoiled <7997 shalal > you : for he that toucheth <5060 naga< > you toucheth <5060 naga< > the apple <0892 babah > of his eye <5869 <ayin > .
: 09 For , behold <2005 hen > , I will shake <5130 nuwph > mine hand <3027 yad > upon them , and they shall be a spoil <7998 shalal > to their servants <5647 <abad > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sent <7971 shalach > me .

: 13 Be silent <2013 hacah > , O all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > , before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he is raised <5782 <uwr > up out of his holy <6944 qodesh > habitation <4583 ma<own > .
: Zechariah 3
: 01 . And he shewed <7200 ra>ah > me Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen > standing <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and Satan <7854 satan > standing <5975 <amad > at <5921 <al > his right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > to resist <7853 satan > him .
: 02 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rebuke <1605 ga<ar > thee , O Satan <7854 satan > ; even the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that hath chosen <0977 bachar > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > rebuke <1605 ga<ar > thee : [ is ] not this <2088 zeh > a brand <0181 >uwd > plucked <5337 natsal > out of the fire <0784 >esh > ?

: 04 And he answered <6030 <anah > and spake <0559 >amar > unto those that stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him , saying <0559 >amar > , Take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the filthy <6674 tsow> > garments <0899 beged > from him . And unto him he said <0559 >amar > , Behold <7200 ra>ah > , I have caused thine iniquity <5771 <avon > to pass <5674 <abar > from thee , and I will clothe <3847 labash > thee with change <4254 machalatsah > of raiment <4254 machalatsah > .
: 05 And I said <0559 >amar > , Let them set <7760 suwm > a fair <2889 tahowr > mitre <6797 tsaniyph > upon his head <7218 ro>sh > . So they set <7760 suwm > a fair <2889 tahowr > mitre <6797 tsaniyph > upon his head <7218 ro>sh > , and clothed <3847 labash > him with garments <0899 beged > . And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stood <5975 <amad > by .
: 06 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > protested <5749 <uwd > unto Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 07 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; If <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > in my ways <1870 derek > , and if <0518 >im > thou wilt keep <8104 shamar > my charge <4931 mishmereth > , then thou shalt also <1571 gam > judge <1777 diyn > my house <1004 bayith > , and shalt also <1571 gam > keep <8104 shamar > my courts <2691 chatser > , and I will give <5414 nathan > thee places to walk <4108 mahlek > among <0996 beyn > these <0428 >el - leh > that stand <5975 <amad > by .

Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > , O Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen > , thou , and thy fellows <7453 rea< > that sit <3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > thee : for they [ are ] men <0582 >enowsh > wondered <4159 mowpheth > at : for , behold <2005 hen > , I will bring <0935 bow> > forth <0935 bow> > my servant <5650 <ebed > the BRANCH <6780 tsemach > .
: 09 For behold <2009 hinneh > the stone <68> that I have laid <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > ; upon one <0259 >echad > stone <68> [ shall be ] seven <7651 sheba< > eyes <5869 <ayin > : behold <2005 hen > , I will engrave <6605 pathach > the graving <6603 pittuwach > thereof , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , and I will remove <4185 muwsh > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of that land <0776 >erets > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm > .
: 10 In that day <3117 yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , shall ye call <7121 qara> > every man his neighbour <7453 rea< > under <8478 tachath > the vine <1612 gephen > and under <8478 tachath > the fig <8384 t@>en > tree .
: Zechariah 4
: 01 . And the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me came <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > , and waked <5782 <uwr > me , as a man <0376 >iysh > that is wakened <5782 <uwr > out of his sleep <8142 shehah > ,
: 02 And said <0559 >amar > unto me , What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ? And I said <0559 >amar > , I have looked <7200 ra>ah > , and behold <2005 hen > a candlestick <4501 m@nowrah > all <3605 kol > [ of ] gold <2091 zahab > , with a bowl <1543 gullah > upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of it , and his seven <7651 sheba< > lamps <5216 niyr > thereon <5921 <al > , and seven <7651 sheba< > pipes <4166 muwtsaqah > to the seven <7651 sheba< > lamps <5216 niyr > , which [ are ] upon the top <7218 ro>sh > thereof :

: 06 Then he answered <6030 <anah > and spake <0559 >amar > unto me , saying <0559 >amar > , This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > , saying <0559 >amar > , Not by might <2428 chayil > , nor <3808 lo> > by power <3581 koach > , but by my spirit <7307 ruwach > , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .
: 07 Who <4310 miy > [ art ] thou , O great <1419 gadowl > mountain <2022 har > ? before <6440 paniym > Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > [ thou shalt become ] a plain <4334 miyshowr > : and he shall bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the headstone [ thereof with ] shoutings <8663 t@shu>ah > , [ crying ] , Grace <2580 chen > , grace <2580 chen > unto it .

: 09 The hands <3027 yad > of Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > have laid the foundation <3248 y@cuwdah > of this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > ; his hands <3027 yad > shall also finish <1214 batsa< > it ; and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sent <7971 shalach > me unto you .
