ZECHARIAH 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,
ZECHARIAH 1:2 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your
fathers.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 1:5 Your fathers, where {are} they? and the prophets,
do they live for ever?
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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,
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 1:9 Then 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}.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 1:13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked with
me {with} good words {and} comfortable words.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold
four horns.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 1:20 And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.
ZECHARIAH 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 2:1 I Lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold
a man with a measuring line in his hand.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went
forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest {with} the
daughter of Babylon.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 2:12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in
the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
ZECHARIAH 2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is
raised up out of his holy habitation.
ZECHARIAH 3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing
before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right
hand to resist him.
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and
stood before the angel.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 3:6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua,
saying,
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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 4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and
waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right
{side} of the bowl, and the other upon the left {side} thereof.
ZECHARIAH 4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked
with me, saying, What {are} these, my lord?
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 4:8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what
these {be}? And I said, No, my lord.
ZECHARIAH 4:14 Then said he, These {are} the two anointed ones,
that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
ZECHARIAH 5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and behold a flying roll.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me,
Whither do these bear the ephah?
ZECHARIAH 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 6:1 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.
ZECHARIAH 6:2 In the first chariot {were} red horses; and in the
second chariot black horses;
ZECHARIAH 6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the
fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
ZECHARIAH 6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked
with me, What {are} these, my lord?
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 6:9 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
ZECHARIAH 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;
ZECHARIAH 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;
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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 7:1 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;
ZECHARIAH 7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer
and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the Lord,
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 7:4 Then came the word of the Lord of hosts unto me,
saying,
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not
ye eat {for yourselves}, and drink {for yourselves}?
ZECHARIAH 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?
ZECHARIAH 7:8 And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah,
saying,
ZECHARIAH 7:9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute
true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his
brother:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the
shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 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 8:1 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came {to me},
saying,
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys
and girls playing in the streets thereof.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 8:7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save
my people from the east country, and from the west country;
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 8:11 But now I {will} not {be} unto the residue of this
people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
ZECHARIAH 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}.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well
unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 8:18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me,
saying,
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to
seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
ZECHARIAH 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 9:1 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.
ZECHARIAH 9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and
Zidon, though it be very wise.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut
off the pride of the Philistines.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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;
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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 10:1 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have
redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they
shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
ZECHARIAH 11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may
devour thy cedars.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 11:4 Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the
slaughter;
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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}.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and
my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands,
that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
ZECHARIAH 11:15 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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 12:1 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} I
will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in
Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of
Megiddon.
ZECHARIAH 12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the
family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the
family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
ZECHARIAH 12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their
wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
ZECHARIAH 12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart,
and their wives apart.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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:
ZECHARIAH 13:5 But he shall say, I {am} no prophet, I {am} an
husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil
shall be divided in the midst of thee.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 14:3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against
those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the
light shall not be clear, {nor} dark:
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 14:9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in
that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 14:11 And {men} shall dwell in it, and there shall be
no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely
inhabited.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
ZECHARIAH 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.
