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