Zacarías 1

1In the eighth^H8066 month^H2320, in the second^H8147 year^H8141 of Darius^H1867, came the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 unto Zechariah^H2148 the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296, the son^H1121 of Iddo^H5714, the prophet^H5030, saying^H559, 2Jehovah^H3068 was sore^H7110 displeased^H7107 with your fathers^H1. 3Therefore say^H559 thou unto them, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: Return^H7725 unto me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and I will return^H7725 unto you, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 4Be ye not as your fathers^H1, unto whom the former^H7223 prophets^H5030 cried^H7121, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Return^H7725 ye now from your evil^H7451 ways^H1870, and from your evil^H7451 doings^H4611: but they did not hear^H8085, nor hearken^H7181 unto me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 5Your fathers^H1, where are they? and the prophets^H5030, do they live^H2421 for ever^H5769? 6But my words^H1697 and my statutes^H2706, which I commanded^H6680 my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, did they not overtake^H5381 your fathers^H1? and they turned^H7725 and said^H559, Like as Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 thought^H2161 to do^H6213 unto us, according to our ways^H1870, and according to our doings^H4611, so hath he dealt^H6213 with us. 7Upon the four^H702 and twentieth^H6242 day^H3117 of the eleventh^H6249 month^H2320, which is the month^H2320 Shebat^H7627, in the second^H8147 year^H8141 of Darius^H1867, came the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 unto Zechariah^H2148 the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296, the son^H1121 of Iddo^H5714, the prophet^H5030, saying^H559, 8I saw^H7200 in the night^H3915, and, behold, a man^H376 riding^H7392 upon a red^H122 horse^H5483, and he stood^H5975 among the myrtle-trees^H1918 that were in the bottom^H4699; and behind^H310 him there were horses^H5483, red^H122, sorrel^H8320, and white^H3836. 9Then said^H559 I, O my lord^H113, what are these? And the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me said^H559 unto me, I will show^H7200 thee what these are. 10And the man^H376 that stood^H5975 among the myrtle-trees^H1918 answered^H6030 and said^H559, These are they whom Jehovah^H3068 hath sent^H7971 to walk^H1980 to and fro through the earth^H776. 11And they answered^H6030 the angel^H4397 of Jehovah^H3068 that stood^H5975 among the myrtle-trees^H1918, and said^H559, We have walked to and fro^H1980 through the earth^H776, and, behold, all the earth^H776 sitteth still^H3427, and is at rest^H8252. 12Then the angel^H4397 of Jehovah^H3068 answered^H6030 and said^H559, O Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, how long wilt thou not have mercy^H7355 on Jerusalem^H3389 and on the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, against which thou hast had indignation^H2194 these threescore and ten^H7657 years^H8141? 13And Jehovah^H3068 answered^H6030 the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me with good^H2896 words^H1697, even comfortable^H5150 words^H1697. 14So the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me said^H559 unto me, Cry^H7121 thou, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: I am jealous^H7065 for Jerusalem^H3389 and for Zion^H6726 with a great^H1419 jealousy^H7068. 15And I am very^H1419 sore^H7110 displeased^H7107 with the nations^H1471 that are at ease^H7600; for I was but a little^H4592 displeased^H7107, and they helped^H5826 forward the affliction^H7451. 16Therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068: I am returned^H7725 to Jerusalem^H3389 with mercies^H7356; my house^H1004 shall be built^H1129 in it, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and a line^H6957 shall be stretched forth^H5186 over Jerusalem^H3389. 17Cry^H7121 yet again, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: My cities^H5892 shall yet overflow^H6327 with prosperity^H2896; and Jehovah^H3068 shall yet comfort^H5162 Zion^H6726, and shall yet choose^H977 Jerusalem^H3389. 18And I lifted up^H5375 mine eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200, and, behold, four^H702 horns^H7161. 19And I said^H559 unto the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me, What are these? And he answered^H559 me, These are the horns^H7161 which have scattered^H2219 Judah^H3063, Israel^H3478, and Jerusalem^H3389. 20And Jehovah^H3068 showed^H7200 me four^H702 smiths^H2796. 21Then said^H559 I, What come^H935 these to do^H6213? And he spake^H559, saying^H559, These are the horns^H7161 which scattered^H2219 Judah^H3063, so that^H6310 no man^H376 did lift up^H5375 his head^H7218; but these are come^H935 to terrify^H2729 them, to cast down^H3034 the horns^H7161 of the nations^H1471, which lifted up^H5375 their horn^H7161 against the land^H776 of Judah^H3063 to scatter^H2219 it.
