YAH VEH IS ENRAGED WITH THE FATHERS
In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah the son of Berech Yah the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2 In enraging, Yah Veh enraged over your fathers. 3 You, say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: You, turn to me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I turn to you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth. 4 Become not as your fathers to whom the former prophets called out, saying thus: - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth Turn, I beseech, from your evil ways and from your evil exploits! - and they neither heard nor hearkened to me - an oracle of Yah Veh. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, live they eternally? 6 Only, my words and my statutes which I misvahed to my servants the prophets, overtook they not your fathers? And they return and say, As Yah Veh Sabaoth intrigues to work to us, according to our ways and our exploits, works he thus with us. 7
THE RIDER ON THE RED HORSE
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah the son of Berech Yah the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 8 I see by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse; and he stands among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and behind him, horses - red, bay, and white. 9 And I say, O my adoni, what are these? And the angel wording with me says to me, I - I have you see what these are. 10 And the man standing among the myrtle trees answers and says, These are they whom Yah Veh sends to walk to and fro through the earth. 11 And they answer the angel of Yah Veh standing among the myrtle trees, and say, We walk to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth settles and rests. 12 And the angel of Yah Veh answers and says, O Yah Veh Sabaoth, how long mercy you not Yeru Shalem and the cities of Yah Hudah, against whom you enraged these seventy years? 13 And Yah Veh answers the angel who is wording with me with words of good and words of solaces. 14 And the angel wording with me says to me, Call out, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Yeru Shalem and for Siyon with a great jealousy/zeal: 15 and in my enraging, I enrage greatly with the goyim who relax: for I was but a little enraged, and they helped for evil. 16 So thus says Yah Veh: I return to Yeru Shalem with mercies: build my house therein - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and spread a line on Yeru Shalem: 17 call out, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: My cities scatter through good; and Yah Veh still sighs over Siyon, and still chooses Yeru Shalem. 18
THE FOUR HORNS
Then I lift my eyes, and see, and behold, four horns: 19 and I say to the angel wording with me, What are these? And he says to me, These are the horns that winnow Yah Hudah, Yisra El, and Yeru Shalem. 20
THE FOUR ENGRAVERS
And Yah Veh shows me four engravers: 21 and I say, What approach these to work? And he speaks, saying, These are the horns that winnow Yah Hudah, so that no mouth of man lifts his head: and these approach to tremble them, to hand toss the horns of the goyim, whio lift their horn over the land of Yah Hudah to winnow it.
