In the eighth
H2320
month,
H8147
in the second
H8141
year
H1867
of Darius,
H1697
the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H2148
came to Zechariah
H1121
the son
H1296
of Berechiah,
H1121
the son
H5714
of Iddo,
H5030
the prophet,
H559
saying,
3
H559
Therefore tell
H559
them: Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies:
H7725
‘Return
H559
to me,' says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H7725
‘and I will return
H5002
to you,' says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
4
H1
Don't you be like your fathers,
H7223
to whom the former
H5030
prophets
H7121
proclaimed,
H559
saying:
H559
Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H7725
‘Return
H7451
now from your evil
H1870
ways,
H7451
and from your evil
H4611
doings;'
H8085
but they did not hear,
H7181
nor listen
H5002
to me, says
H3068
Yahweh.
6
H1697
But my words
H2706
and my decrees,
H6680
which I commanded
H5650
my servants
H5030
the prophets,
H5381
didn't they overtake
H1
your fathers?
H7725
"Then they repented
H559
and said,
H3068
‘Just as Yahweh
H6635
of Armies
H2161
determined
H6213
to do
H1870
to us, according to our ways,
H4611
and according to our practices,
H6213
so he has dealt with us.'"
7
H6242
On the twenty -
H702
fourth
H3117
day
H6249
of the eleventh
H2320
month,
H2320
which is the month
H7627
Shebat,
H8147
in the second
H8141
year
H1867
of Darius,
H1697
the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H2148
came to Zechariah
H1121
the son
H1296
of Berechiah,
H1121
the son
H5714
of Iddo,
H5030
the prophet,
H559
saying,
8
H7200
"I had a vision
H3915
in the night,
H376
and behold, a man
H7392
riding
H122
on a red
H5483
horse,
H5975
and he stood
H1918
among the myrtle trees
H4699
that were in a ravine;
H310
and behind
H122
him there were red,
H8320
brown,
H3836
and white
H5483
horses.
9
H559
Then I asked,
H113
‘My lord,
H4397
what are these?'" The angel
H1696
who talked
H559
with me said
H7200
to me, "I will show you what these are."
10
H376
The man
H5975
who stood
H1918
among the myrtle trees
H6030
answered,
H3068
"They are the ones Yahweh
H7971
has sent
H1980
to go
H776
back and forth through the earth."
11
H6030
They reported
H4397
to the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H5975
who stood
H1918
among the myrtle trees,
H559
and said,
H1980
"We have walked back and forth
H776
through the earth,
H776
and behold, all the earth
H3427
is at rest
H8252
and in peace."
12
H4397
Then the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H6030
replied,
H3068
"O Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H7355
how long will you not have mercy
H3389
on Jerusalem
H5892
and on the cities
H3063
of Judah,
H2194
against which you have had indignation
H7657
these seventy
H8141
years?"
13
H3068
Yahweh
H6030
answered
H4397
the angel
H1696
who talked
H2896
with me with kind
H5150
and comforting
H1697
words.
14
H4397
So the angel
H1696
who talked
H559
with me said
H7121
to me, "Proclaim,
H559
saying,
H559
‘Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies:
H7065
"I am jealous
H3389
for Jerusalem
H6726
and for Zion
H1419
with a great
H7068
jealousy.
15
H1419
I am very
H7110
H7107
angry
H1471
with the nations
H7600
that are at ease;
H4592
for I was but a little
H7107
displeased,
H5826
but they added
H7451
to the calamity."
16
H559
Therefore thus says
H3068
Yahweh:
H7725
"I have returned
H3389
to Jerusalem
H7356
with mercy.
H1004
My house
H1129
shall be built
H5002
in it," says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H6957
"and a line
H5186
shall be stretched forth
H3389
over Jerusalem."'
17
H7121
"Proclaim
H559
further, saying,
H559
‘Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies:
H5892
"My cities
H6327
will again overflow
H2896
with prosperity,
H3068
and Yahweh
H5162
will again comfort
H6726
Zion,
H977
and will again choose
H3389
Jerusalem."'"
19
H559
I asked
H4397
the angel
H1696
who talked
H559
with me, "What are these?" He answered
H7161
me, "These are the horns
H2219
which have scattered
H3063
Judah,
H3478
Israel,
H3389
and Jerusalem."
21
H559
Then I asked,
H935
"What are these coming
H6213
to do?"
H559
He said,
H7161
"These are the horns
H2219
which scattered
H3063
Judah,
H6310
so that
H376
no man
H5375
lifted up
H7218
his head;
H935
but these have come
H2729
to terrify
H3034
them, to cast down
H7161
the horns
H1471
of the nations,
H5375
which lifted up
H7161
their horn
H776
against the land
H3063
of Judah
H2219
to scatter it."
