Zechariah 1 (kjv)

In the eighth^H8066 month^H2320, in the second^H8147 year^H8141 of Darius^H1867, came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Zechariah^H2148, the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296, the son^H1121 of Iddo^H5714 the prophet^H5030, saying^H559,²The LORD^H3068 hath been sore^H7110 displeased^H7107 with your fathers^H1.³Therefore say^H559 thou unto them, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Turn^H7725 ye unto me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and I will turn^H7725 unto you, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.⁴Be ye not as your fathers^H1, unto whom the former^H7223 prophets^H5030 have cried^H7121, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Turn^H7725 ye now from your evil^H7451 ways^H1870, and from your evil^H7451 doings^H4611: but they did not hear^H8085, nor hearken^H7181 unto me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.⁵Your fathers^H1, where are they? and the prophets^H5030, do they live^H2421 for ever^H5769?⁶But my words^H1697 and my statutes^H2706, which I commanded^H6680 my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, did they not take hold^H5381 of your fathers^H1? and they returned^H7725 and said^H559, Like as the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 thought^H2161 to do^H6213 unto us, according to our ways^H1870, and according to our doings^H4611, so hath he dealt^H6213 with us.⁷Upon the four^H702 and twentieth^H6242 day^H3117 of the eleventh^{H6249 H6240} month^H2320, which is the month^H2320 Sebat^H7627, in the second^H8147 year^H8141 of Darius^H1867, came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Zechariah^H2148, the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296, the son^H1121 of Iddo^H5714 the prophet^H5030, saying^H559,⁸I saw^H7200 by night^H3915, and behold a man^H376 riding^H7392 upon a red^H122 horse^H5483, and he stood^H5975 among the myrtle trees^H1918 that were in the bottom^H4699; and behind^H310 him were there red^H122 horses^H5483, speckled^H8320, and white^H3836.⁹Then said^H559 I, O my lord^H113, what are these? And the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me said^H559 unto me, I will shew^H7200 thee what these be.¹⁰And the man^H376 that stood^H5975 among the myrtle trees^H1918 answered^H6030 and said^H559, These are they whom the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 to walk^H1980 to and fro through the earth^H776.¹¹And they answered^H6030 the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 that stood^H5975 among the myrtle trees^H1918, and said^H559, We have walked to and fro^H1980 through the earth^H776, and, behold, all the earth^H776 sitteth still^H3427, and is at rest^H8252.¹²Then the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 and said^H559, O LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, how long wilt thou not have mercy^H7355 on Jerusalem^H3389 and on the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, against which thou hast had indignation^H2194 these threescore and ten^H7657 years^H8141?¹³And the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me with good^H2896 words^H1697 and comfortable^H5150 words^H1697.¹⁴So the angel^H4397 that communed^H1696 with me said^H559 unto me, Cry^H7121 thou, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; I am jealous^H7065 for Jerusalem^H3389 and for Zion^H6726 with a great^H1419 jealousy^H7068.¹⁵And I am very^H1419 sore^H7110 displeased^H7107 with the heathen^H1471 that are at ease^H7600: for I was but a little^H4592 displeased^H7107, and they helped^H5826 forward the affliction^H7451.¹⁶Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; I am returned^H7725 to Jerusalem^H3389 with mercies^H7356: my house^H1004 shall be built^H1129 in it, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and a line^{H6957 H6961} shall be stretched forth^H5186 upon Jerusalem^H3389.¹⁷Cry^H7121 yet, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; My cities^H5892 through prosperity^H2896 shall yet be spread abroad^H6327; and the LORD^H3068 shall yet comfort^H5162 Zion^H6726, and shall yet choose^H977 Jerusalem^H3389.¹⁸Then lifted I up^H5375 mine eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200, and behold four^H702 horns^H7161.¹⁹And I said^H559 unto the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696 with me, What be these? And he answered^H559 me, These are the horns^H7161 which have scattered^H2219 Judah^H3063, Israel^H3478, and Jerusalem^H3389.²⁰And the LORD^H3068 shewed^H7200 me four^H702 carpenters^H2796.²¹Then said^H559 I, What come^H935 these to do^H6213? And he spake^H559, saying^H559, These are the horns^H7161 which have scattered^H2219 Judah^H3063, so that^H6310 no man^H376 did lift up^H5375 his head^H7218: but these are come^H935 to fray^H2729 them, to cast out^H3034 the horns^H7161 of the Gentiles^H1471, which lifted up^H5375 their horn^H7161 over the land^H776 of Judah^H3063 to scatter^H2219 it.
