American Standard Version

Zechariah 1

1.  In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
2.  Jehovah was sore displeased with your fathers.
3.  Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4.  Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Jehovah.
5.  Your fathers, where are they?  and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6.  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers?  and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7.  Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
8.  I saw in the 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 there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
9.  Then said I, O my lord, what are these?  And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are.
10.  And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11.  And they answered the angel of Jehovah 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.
12.  Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah 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?
13.  And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, even comfortable words.
14.  So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15.  And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16.  Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17.  Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18.  And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
19.  And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these?  And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20.  And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
21.  Then said I, What come these to do?  And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.

Zechariah 1

1.  In the eighth [8066] month [2320], in the second [8147] year [8141] of Darius [1867], came the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] unto Zechariah [2148], the son [1121] of Berechiah [1296], the son [1121] of Iddo [5714] the prophet [5030], saying [0559] (8800),
2.  The LORD [3068] hath been sore [7110] displeased [7107] (8804) with your fathers [0001].
3.  Therefore say [0559] (8804) thou unto them, Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635]; Turn [7725] (8798) ye unto me, saith [5002] (8803) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635], and I will turn [7725] (8799) unto you, saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635].
4.  Be ye not as your fathers [0001], unto whom the former [7223] prophets [5030] have cried [7121] (8804), saying [0559] (8800), Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635]; Turn [7725] (8798) ye now from your evil [7451] ways [1870], and [from] your evil [7451] doings [4611]: but they did not hear [8085] (8804), nor hearken [7181] (8689) unto me, saith [5002] (8803) the LORD [3068].
5.  Your fathers [0001], where [are] they?  and the prophets [5030], do they live [2421] (8799) for ever [5769]?
6.  But my words [1697] and my statutes [2706], which I commanded [6680] (8765) my servants [5650] the prophets [5030], did they not take hold [5381] (8689) of your fathers [0001]?  and they returned [7725] (8799) and said [0559] (8799), Like as the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635] thought [2161] (8804) to do [6213] (8800) unto us, according to our ways [1870], and according to our doings [4611], so hath he dealt [6213] (8804) with us.
7.  Upon the four [0702] and twentieth [6242] day [3117] of the eleventh [6249] [6240] month [2320], which [is] the month [2320] Sebat [7627], in the second [8147] year [8141] of Darius [1867], came the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] unto Zechariah [2148], the son [1121] of Berechiah [1296], the son [1121] of Iddo [5714] the prophet [5030], saying [0559] (8800),
8.  I saw [7200] (8804) by night [3915], and behold a man [0376] riding [7392] (8802) upon a red [0122] horse [5483], and he stood [5975] (8802) among the myrtle trees [1918] that [were] in the bottom [4699]; and behind [0310] him [were there] red [0122] horses [5483], speckled [8320], and white [3836].
9.  Then said [0559] (8799) I, O my lord [0113], what [are] these?  And the angel [4397] that talked [1696] (8802) with me said [0559] (8799) unto me, I will shew [7200] (8686) thee what these [be].
10.  And the man [0376] that stood [5975] (8802) among the myrtle trees [1918] answered [6030] (8799) and said [0559] (8799), These [are they] whom the LORD [3068] hath sent [7971] (8804) to walk [1980] (8692) to and fro through the earth [0776].
11.  And they answered [6030] (8799) the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] that stood [5975] (8802) among the myrtle trees [1918], and said [0559] (8799), We have walked to and fro [1980] (8694) through the earth [0776], and, behold, all the earth [0776] sitteth still [3427] (8802), and is at rest [8252] (8802).
12.  Then the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] answered [6030] (8799) and said [0559] (8799), O LORD [3068] of hosts [6635], how long wilt thou not have mercy [7355] (8762) on Jerusalem [3389] and on the cities [5892] of Judah [3063], against which thou hast had indignation [2194] (8804) these threescore and ten [7657] years [8141]?
13.  And the LORD [3068] answered [6030] (8799) the angel [4397] that talked [1696] (8802) with me [with] good [2896] words [1697] [and] comfortable [5150] words [1697].
14.  So the angel [4397] that communed [1696] (8802) with me said [0559] (8799) unto me, Cry [7121] (8798) thou, saying [0559] (8800), Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635]; I am jealous [7065] (8765) for Jerusalem [3389] and for Zion [6726] with a great [1419] jealousy [7068].
15.  And I am very [1419] sore [7110] displeased [7107] (8804) with the heathen [1471] [that are] at ease [7600]: for I was but a little [4592] displeased [7107] (8802), and they helped [5826] (8804) forward the affliction [7451].
16.  Therefore thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068]; I am returned [7725] (8804) to Jerusalem [3389] with mercies [7356]: my house [1004] shall be built [1129] (8735) in it, saith [5002] (8803) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635], and a line [6957] (8675) [6961] shall be stretched forth [5186] (8735) upon Jerusalem [3389].
17.  Cry [7121] (8798) yet, saying [0559] (8800), Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635]; My cities [5892] through prosperity [2896] shall yet be spread abroad [6327] (8799); and the LORD [3068] shall yet comfort [5162] (8765) Zion [6726], and shall yet choose [0977] (8804) Jerusalem [3389].
18.  Then lifted I up [5375] (8799) mine eyes [5869], and saw [7200] (8799), and behold four [0702] horns [7161].
19.  And I said [0559] (8799) unto the angel [4397] that talked [1696] (8802) with me, What [be] these?  And he answered [0559] (8799) me, These [are] the horns [7161] which have scattered [2219] (8765) Judah [3063], Israel [3478], and Jerusalem [3389].
20.  And the LORD [3068] shewed [7200] (8686) me four [0702] carpenters [2796].
21.  Then said [0559] (8799) I, What come [0935] (8802) these to do [6213] (8800)?  And he spake [0559] (8799), saying [0559] (8800), These [are] the horns [7161] which have scattered [2219] (8765) Judah [3063], so that [6310] no man [0376] did lift up [5375] (8804) his head [7218]: but these are come [0935] (8799) to fray [2729] (8687) them, to cast out [3034] (8763) the horns [7161] of the Gentiles [1471], which lifted up [5375] (8802) [their] horn [7161] over the land [0776] of Judah [3063] to scatter [2219] (8763) it.

Zechariah 1

1.  In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2.  'Jehovah was wroth against your fathers-wrath!
3.  And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts.
4.  Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not hearken, Nor attend to Me-an affirmation of Jehovah.
5.  Your fathers-where are they?  And the prophets-to the age do they live?
6.  Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers, And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath done to us?'
7.  On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it is the month of Sebat,) in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8.  I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that are in the shade, and behind him are horses, red, bay, and white.
9.  And I say, 'What are these, my lord?' And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, 'I-I do shew thee what these are.'
10.  And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer and say, 'These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up and down in the land.'
11.  And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing between the myrtles, and say, 'We have walked up and down in the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.'
12.  And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts!  till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?'
13.  And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
14.  And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me, 'Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion with great zeal.
15.  And with great wrath I am wroth against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted-for evil.
16.  Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
17.  Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.'
18.  And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns.
19.  And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What are these?' And he saith unto me, 'These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
20.  And Jehovah doth shew me four artisans.
21.  And I say, 'What are these coming in to do?' And He speaketh, saying: 'These are the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah-to scatter it.'
