:1. 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 >,
:2 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath been sore displeased <7107 qatsaph > with your fathers <1>.
:3 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> >.
:4 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 >.
:5 Your fathers <1>, where <0346 >ayeh > [are] they? and the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, do they live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 <owlam >?
:6 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.
:7. 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 >,
:8 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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 >.
:2 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Whither <0575 >an > goest <1980 halak > thou? 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.
:3 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,
:4 And said <0559 >amar > unto him, Run <7323 ruwts >, speak <1696 dabar > to this <1975 hallaz > young <5288 na<ar > man, saying <0559 >amar >, Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall be inhabited <3427 yashab > [as] towns <6519 p@razah > without walls for the multitude <7230 rob > of men <0120 >adam > and cattle <0929 b@hemah > therein <8432 tavek >:
:5 For I, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, will be unto her a wall <2346 chowmah > of fire <0784 >esh > round <5439 cabiyb > about, and will be the glory <3519 kabowd > in the midst <8432 tavek > of her.
:6. 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 >.
:7 Deliver <4422 malat > thyself, O Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, that dwellest <3427 yashab > [with] the daughter <1323 bath > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.
:8 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 >.
:9 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.
:10. Sing <7442 ranan > and rejoice <8055 samach >, O daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >:for, lo, I come <0935 bow> >, and I will dwell <7931 shakan > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
:11 And many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > shall be joined <3867 lavah > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in that day <3117 yowm >, and shall be my people <5971 <am >:and I will dwell <7931 shakan > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee, and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sent <7971 shalach > me unto thee.

: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
:1. 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.
:2 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 >?
:3 Now Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > was clothed <3847 labash > with filthy <6674 tsow> > garments <0899 beged >, and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the angel <4397 mal>ak >.
:4 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 >.
:5 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.
:6 And the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > protested <5749 <uwd > unto Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< >, saying <0559 >amar >,
:7 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.
:8. 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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 >,
:2 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:
:3 And two <8147 sh@nayim > olive <2132 zayith > trees by it, one <0259 >echad > upon the right <3225 yamiyn > [side] of the bowl <1543 gullah >, and the other <0259 >echad > upon the left <8040 s@mo>wl > [side] thereof.
:4 So I answered <6030 <anah > and spake <0559 >amar > to the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me, saying <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > [are] these <0428 >el-leh >, my lord <0113 >adown >?
:5 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > that talked <1696 dabar > with me answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > unto me, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou not what <4100 mah > these <0428 >el-leh > be? And I said <0559 >amar >, No <3808 lo> >, my lord <0113 >adown >.
:6 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> >.
:7 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.
:8 Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,
:9 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.
:10 For who <4310 miy > hath despised <0937 buwz > the day <3117 yowm > of small <6996 qatan > things? for they shall rejoice <8055 samach >, and shall see <7200 ra>ah > the plummet in the hand <3027 yad > of Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > [with] those <0428 >el-leh > seven <7651 sheba< >; they [are] the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which run <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >.

:13 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] as ye were a curse <7045 q@lalah > among the heathen <1471 gowy >, O house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; so will I save <3467 yasha< > you, and ye shall be a blessing <1293 B@rakah >:fear <3372 yare> > not, [but] let your hands <3027 yad > be strong <2388 chazaq >.
:14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; As I thought <2161 zamam > to punish <7489 ra<a< > you, when your fathers <1> provoked me to wrath <7107 qatsaph >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, and I repented <5162 nacham > not:

:17 And let none <0408 >al > of you imagine evil <7451 ra< > in your hearts <3820 leb > against his neighbour <7453 rea< >; and love <0157 >ahab > no <3808 lo> > false <8267 sheqer > oath <7621 sh@buw<ah >:for all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [are things] that I hate <8130 sane> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
