- ZECHARIAH 1
- 1:1 In 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,
- 1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
- 1:3 Therefore 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.
- 1:4 Be 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.
- 1:5 Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they
- live for ever?
- 1:6 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 LORD of hosts thought
- to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our
- doings, so hath he dealt with us.
- 1:7 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 LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the
- son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
- 1:8 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.
- 1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel
- that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these
- [be].
- 1:10 And 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.
- 1:11 And 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.
- 1:12 Then 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?
- 1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me
- [with] good words [and] comfortable words.
- 1:14 So 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.
- 1:15 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.
- 1:16 Therefore 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.
- 1:17 Cry 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.
- 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
- horns.
- 1:19 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.
- 1:20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
- 1:21 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.
-
- ZECHARIAH 2
- 2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man
- with a measuring line in his hand.
- 2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To
- measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] the breadth thereof, and
- what [is] the length thereof.
- 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth,
- and another angel went out to meet him,
- 2:4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying,
- Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the
- multitude of men and cattle therein:
- 2:5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire
- round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
- 2:6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the
- north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four
- winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
- 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the
- daughter of Babylon.
- 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he
- sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that
- toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
- 2:9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they
- shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the
- LORD of hosts hath sent me.
- 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come,
- and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
- 2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that
- day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of
- thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me
- unto thee.
- 2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy
- land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
- 2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is
- raised up out of his holy habitation.
-
- ZECHARIAH 3
- 3:1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before
- the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to
- resist him.
- 3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O
- Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee:
- [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
- 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
- before the angel.
- 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before
- him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto
- him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from
- thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
- 3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So
- they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with
- garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
- 3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
- 3:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my
- ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also
- judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give
- thee places to walk among these that stand by.
- 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows
- that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for,
- behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
- 3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon
- one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the
- graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the
- iniquity of that land in one day.
- 3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call
- every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
-
- ZECHARIAH 4
- 4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked
- me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
- 4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have
- looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl
- upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven
- pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:
- 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of
- the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
- 4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me,
- saying, What [are] these, my lord?
- 4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto
- me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
- 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the
- word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by
- power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
- 4:7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou
- shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone
- [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
- 4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this
- house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that
- the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
- 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they
- shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of
- Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD,
- which run to and fro through the whole earth.
- 4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two
- olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon
- the left [side] thereof?
- 4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these]
- two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the
- golden [oil] out of themselves?
- 4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these
- [be]? And I said, No, my lord.
- 4:14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that
- stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
-
- ZECHARIAH 5
- 5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
- behold a flying roll.
- 5:2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I
- see a flying roll; the length thereof [is] twenty cubits, and
- the breadth thereof ten cubits.
- 5:3 Then said he unto me, This [is] the curse that goeth
- forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that
- stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it;
- and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side
- according to it.
- 5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it
- shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of
- him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in
- the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber
- thereof and the stones thereof.
- 5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said
- unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what [is] this that
- goeth forth.
- 5:6 And I said, What [is] it? And he said, This [is] an ephah
- that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance
- through all the earth.
- 5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and
- this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
- 5:8 And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast it into
- the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the
- mouth thereof.
- 5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold,
- there came out two women, and the wind [was] in their wings;
- for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted
- up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
- 5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do
- these bear the ephah?
- 5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of
- Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own
- base.
-
- ZECHARIAH 6
- 6:1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and,
- behold, there came four chariots out from between two
- mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
- 6:2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second
- chariot black horses;
- 6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth
- chariot grisled and bay horses.
- 6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with
- me, What [are] these, my lord?
- 6:5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the
- four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing
- before the Lord of all the earth.
- 6:6 The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the
- north country; and the white go forth after them; and the
- grisled go forth toward the south country.
- 6:7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might
- walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence,
- walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro
- through the earth.
- 6:8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold,
- these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit
- in the north country.
- 6:9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- 6:10 Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of
- Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come
- thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of
- Zephaniah;
- 6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set
- [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
- priest;
- 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of
- hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and
- he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the
- temple of the LORD:
- 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall
- bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he
- shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace
- shall be between them both.
- 6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to
- Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the
- temple of the LORD.
- 6:15 And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the
- temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts
- hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye
- will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
-
- ZECHARIAH 7
- 7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
- [that] the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth
- [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chisleu;
- 7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and
- Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
- 7:3 [And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the house
- of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I
- weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done
- these so many years?
- 7:4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
- 7:5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the
- priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and
- seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all fast
- unto me, [even] to me?
- 7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye
- eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?
- 7:7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath
- cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and
- in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when
- [men] inhabited the south and the plain?
- 7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
- 7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true
- judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his
- brother:
- 7:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the
- stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil
- against his brother in your heart.
- 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the
- shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
- 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest
- they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts
- hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came
- a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
- 7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and
- they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith
- the LORD of hosts:
- 7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the
- nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after
- them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid
- the pleasant land desolate.
-
- ZECHARIAH 8
- 8:1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
- 8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with
- great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
- 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will
- dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called
- a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy
- mountain.
- 8:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and
- old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with
- his staff in his hand for very age.
- 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and
- girls playing in the streets thereof.
- 8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the
- eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it
- also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
- 8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my
- people from the east country, and from the west country;
- 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst
- of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their
- God, in truth and in righteousness.
- 8:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong,
- ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the
- prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the
- house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be
- built.
- 8:10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any
- hire for beast; neither [was there any] peace to him that went
- out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men
- every one against his neighbour.
- 8:11 But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this
- people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
- 8:12 For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give
- her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the
- heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of
- this people to possess all these [things].
- 8:13 And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse
- among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so
- will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but]
- let your hands be strong.
- 8:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish
- you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of
- hosts, and I repented not:
- 8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto
- Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
- 8:16 These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every
- man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth
- and peace in your gates:
- 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against
- his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are
- things] that I hate, saith the LORD.
- 8:18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
- 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth
- [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the
- seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of
- Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the
- truth and peace.
- 8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; [It shall] yet [come to
- pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of
- many cities:
- 8:21 And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another,
- saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek
- the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
- 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek
- the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
- 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days [it shall
- come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all
- languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of
- him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have
- heard [that] God [is] with you.
-
- ZECHARIAH 9
- 9:1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of
- Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when the
- eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward
- the LORD.
- 9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon,
- though it be very wise.
- 9:3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up
- silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
- 9:4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her
- power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
- 9:5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see
- it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation
- shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and
- Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
- 9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off
- the pride of the Philistines.
- 9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his
- abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth,
- even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor
- in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
- 9:8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army,
- because of him that passeth by, and because of him that
- returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more:
- for now have I seen with mine eyes.
- 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of
- Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and
- having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a
- colt the foal of an ass.
- 9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the
- horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and
- he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall
- be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the
- ends of the earth.
- 9:11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have
- sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.
- 9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even
- to day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;
- 9:13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with
- Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O
- Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
- 9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow
- shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow
- the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
- 9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall
- devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink,
- [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled
- like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
- 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as
- the flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a
- crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
- 9:17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his
- beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine
- the maids.
-
- ZECHARIAH 10
- 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;
- [so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers
- of rain, to every one grass in the field.
- 10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have
- seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain:
- therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled,
- because [there was] no shepherd.
- 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I
- punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his
- flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly
- horse in the battle.
- 10:4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail,
- out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
- 10:5 And they shall be as mighty [men], which tread down
- [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle: and
- they shall fight, because the LORD [is] with them, and the
- riders on horses shall be confounded.
- 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will
- save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place
- them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I
- had not cast them off: for I [am] the LORD their God, and will
- hear them.
- 10:7 And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man], and
- their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children
- shall see [it], and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the
- LORD.
- 10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have
- redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
- 10:9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall
- remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their
- children, and turn again.
- 10:10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,
- and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the
- land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for
- them.
- 10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and
- shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the
- river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought
- down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
- 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall
- walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
-
- ZECHARIAH 11
- 11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy
- cedars.
- 11:2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the
- mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest
- of the vintage is come down.
- 11:3 [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for
- their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions;
- for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
- 11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the
- slaughter;
- 11:5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not
- guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for
- I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
- 11:6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,
- saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into
- his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they
- shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver
- [them].
- 11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O
- poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I
- called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the
- flock.
- 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul
- loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
- 11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let
- it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and
- let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
- 11:10 And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder,
- that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the
- people.
- 11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the
- flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the
- LORD.
- 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my
- price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty
- [pieces] of silver.
- 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a
- goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the
- thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the
- house of the LORD.
- 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that
- I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
- 11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
- instruments of a foolish shepherd.
- 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land,
- [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall
- seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that
- that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and
- tear their claws in pieces.
- 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the
- sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm
- shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly
- darkened.

- ZECHARIAH 12
- 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the
- LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the
- foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within
- him.
- 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto
- all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege
- both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
- 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone
- for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut
- in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered
- together against it.
- 12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse
- with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open
- mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse
- of the people with blindness.
- 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The
- inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of
- hosts their God.
- 12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an
- hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a
- sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the
- right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited
- again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem.
- 12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that
- the glory of the house of David and the glory of the
- inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against
- Judah.
- 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of
- Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall
- be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the
- angel of the LORD before them.
- 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will
- seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
- 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
- inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of
- supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have
- pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for
- [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one
- that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
- 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in
- Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of
- Megiddon.
- 12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the
- family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart;
- 12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives
- apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
- 12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and
- their wives apart.
-
- ZECHARIAH 13
- 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the
- house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and
- for uncleanness.
- 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of
- hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the
- land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will
- cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the
- land.
- 13:3 And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet
- prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall
- say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in
- the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat
- him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
- 13:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the
- prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath
- prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
- 13:5 But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an
- husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
- 13:6 And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in
- thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was
- wounded [in] the house of my friends.
- 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man
- [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the
- shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn
- mine hand upon the little ones.
- 13:8 And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith
- the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the
- third shall be left therein.
- 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and
- will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as
- gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear
- them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The
- LORD [is] my God.
-
- ZECHARIAH 14
- 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall
- be divided in the midst of thee.
- 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to
- battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and
- the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into
- captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off
- from the city.
- 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
- nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
- 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of
- Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount
- of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and
- toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and
- half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of
- it toward the south.
- 14:5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for
- the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye
- shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the
- days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come,
- [and] all the saints with thee.
- 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the light
- shall not be clear, [nor] dark:
- 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the
- LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at
- evening time it shall be light.
- 14:8 And it shall be in that day, [that] living waters shall
- go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and
- half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter
- shall it be.
- 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that
- day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
- 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
- Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and
- inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of
- the first gate, unto the corner gate, and [from] the tower of
- Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
- 14:11 And [men] shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more
- utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
- 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
- smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their
- flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and
- their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue
- shall consume away in their mouth.
- 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great
- tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay
- hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall
- rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
- 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth
- of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together,
- gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
- 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule,
- of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall
- be in these tents, as this plague.
- 14:16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is
- left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even
- go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,
- and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
- 14:17 And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all]
- the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King,
- the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
- 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not,
- that [have] no [rain]; there shall be the plague, wherewith the
- LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast
- of tabernacles.
- 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the
- punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
- tabernacles.
- 14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the
- horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S
- house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
- 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be
- holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice
- shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that
- day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the
- LORD of hosts.
