1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2 Jehovah has been angrily displeased with your fathers. 3 Therefore say you to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts; Turn you to me, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will turn to you, says Jehovah of hosts. 4 Be not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts; Turn you now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Jehovah. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live until the Kingdom Age? 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 Jehovah of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us. 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 Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 8 I saw by night 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. 9 Then said I, Oh my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show you what these be. 10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah has 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, all the Earth sits still, and is at rest. 12 Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, oh, Jehovah of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13 And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. 14 So the angel that communed with me said to me, Cry you, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very angrily displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. 16 Therefore thus says Jehovah; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, says Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 17 Cry yet, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 18 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw four horns. 19 And I said to the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 20 And Jehovah showed me four carpenters. 21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, 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.
