Book 38 Zechariah Chapter 001

 

001:001In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the
word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son
of Iddo the prophet, saying,

 

001:002The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

 

001:003Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto
you, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

001:004Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have
cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD 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 LORD.

 

001:005Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live
for ever?

 

001:006But 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 LORD of hosts thought to do
unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings,
so hath he dealt with us.

 

001:007Upon 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 LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son
of Iddo the prophet, saying,

 

001:008I 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.

 

001:009Then 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.

 

001:010And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and
said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and
fro through the earth.

 

001:011And they answered the angel of the LORD 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.

 

001:012Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD 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?

 

001:013And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good
words and comfortable words.

 

001:014So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou,
saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for
Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

 

001:015And 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.

 

001:016Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with
mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of
hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

 

001:017Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD
shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

 

001:018Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

 

001:019And 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.

 

001:020And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.

 

001:021Then 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.
