Zechariah, Chapter 1

¹ In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo saying, ² “The LORD was very angry with your fathers. ³ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Return to Me,” declares the LORD of hosts, “that I may return to you,” says the LORD of hosts. ⁴ “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Return now from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.”’ But they did not listen or give heed to Me,” declares the LORD. ⁵ “Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? ⁶ But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, ‘As the LORD of hosts purposed to do to us in accordance with our ways and our deeds, so He has dealt with us.’”’”

⁷ On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, as follows: ⁸ I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel and white horses behind him. ⁹ Then I said, “My lord, what are these?” And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” ¹⁰ And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are those whom the LORD has sent to^apatrol the earth.” ¹¹ So they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have^bpatrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is^cpeaceful and quiet.”

¹² Then the angel of the LORD said, “O LORD of hosts, how long will You have no compassion for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been indignant these seventy years?” ¹³ The LORD answered the angel who was speaking with me with^dgracious words, comforting words. ¹⁴ So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. ¹⁵ But I am very angry with the nations who are at ease; for while I was only a little angry, they^efurthered the disaster.” ¹⁶ Therefore thus says the LORD, “I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; My house will be built in it,” declares the LORD of hosts, “and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.”’ ¹⁷ Again, proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”’”

¹⁸ ^fThen I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there were four horns. ¹⁹ So I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.” ²⁰ Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen. ²¹ I said, “What are these coming to do?” And he said, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah so that no man lifts up his head; but these craftsmen have come to terrify them, to throw down the horns of the nations who have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah in order to scatter it.”

Zechariah, Chapter 2

¹ ^aThen I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. ² So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is.” ³ And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him, ⁴ and said to him, “Run, speak to that young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited^bwithout walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. ⁵ For I,’ declares the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire^caround her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”

⁶ “^dHo there! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens,” declares the LORD. ⁷ “Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” ⁸ For thus says the LORD of hosts, “After^eglory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the^fapple of His eye. ⁹ For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me. ¹⁰ Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares the LORD. ¹¹ “Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. ¹² The LORD will^gpossess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

¹³ “^hBe silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused from His holy habitation.”

Zechariah, Chapter 3

¹ Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and^aSatan standing at his right hand to accuse him. ² The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” ³ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. ⁴ He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and^bwill clothe you with festal robes.” ⁵ Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the LORD was standing by.

⁶ And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, ⁷ “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you^cfree access among these who are standing here.

⁸ Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the^dBranch. ⁹ For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. ¹⁰ ‘In that day,’ declares the LORD of hosts, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.’”

Zechariah, Chapter 4

¹ Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and roused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep. ² He said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it; ³ also two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.” ⁴ Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, my lord?” ⁵ So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” ⁶ Then he^asaid to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. ⁷ ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

⁸ Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ⁹ “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to^byou. ¹⁰ For who has despised the day of small things?^cBut these seven will be glad when they see the^dplumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth.”

¹¹ Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?” ¹² And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive^ebranches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?” ¹³ So he answered me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” ¹⁴ Then he said, “These are the two^fanointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zechariah, Chapter 5

¹ Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll. ² And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty^acubits and its width ten cubits.” ³ Then he said to me, “This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole^bland; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to^cthe writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to^dthe writing on the other side. ⁴ I will make it go forth,” declares the LORD of hosts, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones.”

⁵ Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth.” ⁶ I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the^eephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their^fappearance in all the^gland ⁷ (and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.” ⁸ Then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its^hopening. ⁹ Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. ¹⁰ I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” ¹¹ Then he said to me, “To build aⁱtemple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”

Zechariah, Chapter 6

¹ Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains. ² With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, ³ with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot strong dappled horses. ⁴ Then I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?” ⁵ The angel replied to me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth, ⁶ with one of which the black horses are going forth to the north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the south country. ⁷ When the strong ones went out, they^awere eager to go to^bpatrol the earth.” And He said, “Go,^cpatrol the earth.” So they^dpatrolled the earth. ⁸ Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have^eappeased My wrath in the land of the north.”

⁹ The word of the LORD also came to me, saying, ¹⁰ “Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah; and you go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have arrived from Babylon.

¹¹ Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. ¹² Then say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is^fBranch, for He will^gbranch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the LORD. ¹³ Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two^hoffices.”’ ¹⁴ Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the LORD to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah andⁱHen the son of Zephaniah. ¹⁵ Those who are far off will come and^jbuild the temple of the LORD.” Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God.
