\par }{\MT Zechariah

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
eighth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Zechariah,
the
son
of
Berechiah,
the
son
of
Iddo
the
prophet,
saying,
\VS{2}The
Lord
has
been very
angry
with
your
fathers:
\VS{3}And
you
are
to
say
to
them, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord
of
armies:
Come
back
to
me,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
I
will
come
back
to
you.
\VS{4}Be
not
like
your
fathers,
to
whom
the voice
of
the
earlier
prophets
came,
saying,
Be
turned
now
from
your
evil
ways
and
from
your
evil
doings:
but
they
did
not
give ear
to
me
or
take note,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{5}Your
fathers,
where
are
they?
and
the
prophets, do
they go
on living for
ever?
\VS{6}But
my
words
and
my
orders,
which
I
gave
to
my
servants
the
prophets,
have
they
not
overtaken
your
fathers?
and
turning
back
they
said,
As
it
was
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
of
armies
to
do
to
us,
in reward
for
our
ways
and
our
doings,
so
has
he
done.
\VS{7}On
the twenty-fourth
day
of
the
eleventh
month,
the
month
Shebat,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Zechariah,
the
son
of
Berechiah,
the
son
of
Iddo
the
prophet,
saying,
\VS{8}I
saw
in
the
night
a
man
on
a
red
horse,
between
the mountains
in
the valley,
and
at
his
back
were
horses,
red, black,
white,
and
of mixed colours.
\VS{9}Then
I
said,
O
my
lord,
what
are
these?
And
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me
said
to
me,
I
will
make clear
to
you
what
they
are.
\VS{10}And
the
man
who
was
between
the mountains, answering
me,
said,
These
are
those
whom
the
Lord
has
sent
to
go
up
and
down
through
the
earth.
\VS{11}And
the
man
who
was
between
the mountains, answering,
said
to
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
We
have
gone
up
and
down
through
the
earth,
and
all
the
earth
is
quiet
and
at
rest.
\VS{12}Then
the
angel
of
the
Lord, answering,
said,
O
Lord
of
armies,
how
long
will
it
be
before
you
have
mercy
on
Jerusalem
and
on
the
towns
of
Judah
against
which
your wrath
has
been burning
for
seventy
years?
\VS{13}And
the
Lord gave
an
answer
in
good
and
comforting
words
to
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me.
\VS{14}And
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me
said
to
me, Let
your voice
be
loud
and
say,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord
of
armies:
I
am
greatly
moved
about
the fate
of
Jerusalem
and
of
Zion.
\VS{15}And
I
am
very
angry
with
the
nations
who
are living untroubled:
for
when
I
was only
a
little
angry,
they
made
the
evil
worse.
\VS{16}So
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
have
come
back
to
Jerusalem
with
mercies;
my
house
is
to
be
put
up
in
her,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
a line
is
to
be
stretched
out
over
Jerusalem.
\VS{17}And
again let
your voice
be loud
and
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
My
towns
will
again
be overflowing
with
good things,
and
again
the
Lord
will
give
comfort
to
Zion
and take
Jerusalem
for
himself.
\VS{18}And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.
\VS{19}And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.
\VS{20}And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.
\VS{21}Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And lifting
up
my
eyes,
I
saw
a
man
with
a measuring-line
in
his hand.
\VS{2}And
I
said
to
him,
Where
are
you going?
And
he
said
to
me,
To take
the measure
of
Jerusalem,
to
see
how wide
and
how
long
it
is.
\VS{3}And
the angel
who
was talking
to
me went
out,
and another angel went
out,
and, meeting
him,
\VS{4}Said
to
him,
Go quickly
and
say
to
this young
man, Jerusalem
will
be
an unwalled town,
because
of
the great number
of
men
and cattle
in
her.
\VS{5}For
I, says
the Lord,
will
be
a wall
of fire round
about
her,
and
I
will
be
the glory
inside
her.
\VS{6}Ho, ho!
go
in flight
from
the land
of
the north,
says
the Lord:
for
I
have
sent
you
far
and
wide
to
the four winds
of heaven,
says
the Lord.
\VS{7}Ho! Zion,
go
in flight
from danger,
you
who are living
with
the daughter
of Babylon.
\VS{8}For
this
is
what
the Lord
of armies
has
said:
In
the way
of glory
he
has
sent
me
to
the nations
which
have
taken
your goods:
for
anyone touching
you
is touching
what
is most dear
to
him.
\VS{9}For
at
the shaking
of
my hand
over
them,
their goods
will
be
taken
by
those
who
were
their servants:
and
you
will see
that
the
Lord
of armies
has sent
me.
\VS{10}Give songs
of joy,
O daughter
of
Zion:
for
I come,
and
I
will
make
my resting-place
among
you,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{11}And
a number
of nations
will
be joined
to
the Lord
in
that day,
and
will become
my
people;
and I
will
be
living
among
you,
and
you
will see
that
the Lord
of armies
has sent me
to
you.
\VS{12}And Judah
will
be
the Lord's heritage
in
the holy land,
and
Jerusalem
will
again
be
his.
\VS{13}Let
all flesh
be quiet
and
make no sound
before
the
Lord:
for
he
is awake
and
has
come
from
his holy resting-place.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he let
me
see
Joshua,
the
high
priest,
in
his
place
before
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
and
the
Satan
at
his
right
hand ready
to
take
up
a cause
against
him.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
said
to
the
Satan,
May
the Lord's
word
be sharp
against
you,
O
Satan,
the
word
of
the
Lord
who
has
taken
Jerusalem
for
himself:
is
this
not
a
burning branch pulled
out
of
the
fire?
\VS{3}Now
Joshua
was
clothed
in unclean
robes,
and
he
was
in
his
place
before
the
angel.
\VS{4}And
he made
answer
and
said
to
those
who
were
there
before
him,
Take
the unclean
robes
off
him,
and let
him be
clothed
in clean
robes;
\VS{5}And
let
them
put
a
clean head-dress
on
his
head.
So
they
put
a
clean head-dress
on
his
head,
clothing
him
with
clean
robes:
and
to
him
he
said, See,
I
have
taken
your sin away
from
you.
\VS{6}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord made
a statement
to
Joshua,
and
said,
\VS{7}These
are
the words
of
the
Lord
of
armies:
If
you
will go
in
my
ways
and
keep
what
I
have
put
in
your
care,
then
you
will
be
judge
over
my
Temple
and
have
the
care
of
my
house,
and
I
will
give
you
the
right
to
come
in
among
those
who
are
there.
\VS{8}Give ear
now,
O
Joshua,
the
high
priest,
you
and
your
friends
who
are
seated
before
you;
for
these
are
men
who
are
a
sign:
for
see,
I
will
let
my
servant
the
Branch
be seen.
\VS{9}For
see,
the
stone
which
I
have
put
before
Joshua;
on
one
stone
are
seven
eyes:
see,
the design cut
on
it
will
be
my
work,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
I
will
take
away
the
sin
of
that
land
in
one
day.
\VS{10}In
that
day,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
you
will
be
one another's
guests
under
the
vine
and
under
the fig-tree.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me
came
again, awaking
me
as
a
man
out
of
his
sleep.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
me,
What
do
you
see?
And
I
said,
I
see
a light-support,
made
all
of
gold,
with
its cup
on
the
top
of
it
and
seven lights
on
it;
and
there
are
seven
pipes
to
every
one
of
the lights
which
are
on
the
top
of
it;
\VS{3}And
two olive-trees
by
it,
one
on
the
right
side
of
the cup
and
one
on
the
left.
\VS{4}And
I
made
answer
and
said
to
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me,
What
are
these,
my
lord?
\VS{5}Then
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me, answering
me,
said,
Have
you
no
knowledge
of
what
these
are?
And
I
said,
No,
my
lord.
\VS{6}This
is
the
word
of
the
Lord
to
Zerubbabel,
saying,
Not
by force
or
by
power,
but
by
my
spirit,
says
the
Lord
of
armies.
\VS{7}Who
are
you,
O
great
mountain?
before
Zerubbabel
you
will
become
level:
and
he
will let
all see
the headstone,
with cries
of
Grace,
grace,
to
it.
\VS{8}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{9}The
hands
of
Zerubbabel
have
put
the base
of
this
house
in
place,
and
his
hands
will
make
it complete;
and
it
will
be clear
to
you
that
the
Lord
of
armies
has
sent
me
to
you.
\VS{10}For
who
has
had
a poor
opinion
of
the
day
of
small
things?
for
they
will
be
glad
when
they
see
the weighted measuring-line
in
the
hand
of
Zerubbabel.
Then
he said
in answer
to
me,
These
seven lights
are
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
which go quickly
up
and
down
through
all
the
earth.
\VS{11}And
I made
answer
and
said
to
him,
What
are
these
two olive-trees
on
the
right
side
of
the light-support
and
on
the
left?
\VS{12}And answering
a
second
time,
I
said
to
him,
What
are
these
two
olive
branches,
through
whose
gold
pipes
the
oil
is drained
out?
\VS{13}And
he
said
in
answer
to
me,
Have
you
no
knowledge
what
these
are?
And
I
said,
No,
my
lord.
\VS{14}And
he
said,
These
are
the
two
sons
of
oil,
whose
place
is
by
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
again lifting
up
my
eyes
I
saw
a roll
in flight
through
the air.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
me,
What
do
you
see?
And
I
said,
A roll going
through
the air;
it
is
twenty
cubits
long
and
ten
cubits
wide.
\VS{3}Then
he
said
to
me,
This
is
the
curse
which
goes
out
over
the
face
of
all
the
land:
for
long enough
has
every thief
gone
without
punishment,
and
long enough
has
every taker
of false
oaths
gone
without
punishment.
\VS{4}And
I
will
send
it
out,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
it
will
go
into
the
house
of
the
thief
and
into
the
house
of
him
who
takes
a
false
oath
by
my
name:
and
it
will
be
in
his
house,
causing
its
complete
destruction,
with
its woodwork
and
its
stones.
\VS{5}And
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me
went
out
and
said
to
me,
Let
your
eyes
be
lifted
up
now,
and
see
the ephah
which
is
going
out.
\VS{6}And
I
said,
What
is
it?
And
he
said,
This
is
an
ephah
which
is
going
out.
And
he
said further,
This
is
their evil-doing
in
all
the
land.
\VS{7}And
I
saw
a
round
cover
of
lead
lifted
up;
and
a
woman
was
seated
in
the
middle
of
the
ephah.
\VS{8}And
he
said,
This
is Sin;
and pushing
her
down
into
the
ephah,
he
put
the
weight
of
lead
on
the
mouth
of
it.
\VS{9}And lifting
up
my
eyes
I
saw
two
women
coming
out,
and
the
wind
was
in
their
wings;
and
they
had
wings
like
the
wings
of
a
stork:
and
they
took
the
ephah, lifting
it
up
between
earth
and
heaven.
\VS{10}And
I
said
to
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me,
Where
are
they taking
the
ephah?
\VS{11}And
he
said
to
me,
To
make
a
house
for
her
in
the
land
of
Shinar:
and
they
will
make
a
place
ready,
and
put
her
there
in
the
place
which
is hers.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
again lifting
up
my
eyes
I
saw
four war-carriages
coming
out
from
between
the
two
mountains;
and
the
mountains
were
mountains
of
brass.
\VS{2}In
the
first war-carriage
were
red
horses;
and
in
the
second,
black
horses;
\VS{3}And
in
the
third,
white
horses;
and
in
the
fourth,
horses
of mixed colour.
\VS{4}And
I
made
answer
and
said
to
the
angel
who
was
talking
to
me,
What
are
these,
my
lord?
\VS{5}And
the
angel, answering,
said
to
me,
These
go
out
to
the
four
winds
of
heaven
from
their
place
before
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth.
\VS{6}The carriage
in
which
are
the
black
horses
goes
in
the
direction
of
the
north
country;
the
white
go
to
the
west;
and
those
of mixed colour
go
in
the
direction
of
the
south
country.
\VS{7}And
the red
ones
go
to
the east;
and
they
made
request
that
they might
go up
and
down
through
the
earth:
and
he
said,
Go up
and
down
through
the
earth.
So
they
went up
and
down
through
the
earth.
\VS{8}Then
crying
out
to
me,
he
said,
See,
those
who
are
going
to
the
north
country
have
given
rest
to
the
spirit
of
the Lord
in
the
north
country.
\VS{9}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{10}Take
the offerings
of
those
who
went
away
as prisoners,
from
Heldai,
Tobijah,
and
Jedaiah,
and
from
the
family
of
Josiah,
the
son
of
Zephaniah,
who
have
come
from
Babylon;
\VS{11}And
take
silver
and
gold
and
make
a
crown
and
put
it
on
the
head
of Zerubbabel;
\VS{12}And
say
to
him, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord
of
armies:
See,
the
man
whose
name
is
the
Branch,
under whom
there
will
be fertile
growth.
\VS{13}And
he
will
be
the builder
of
the
Temple
of
the
Lord;
and
the
glory
will
be
his,
and
he
will
take
his
place
as
ruler
on
the
seat
of power;
and Joshua
will
be
a
priest
at
his
right hand,
and
between
them
there
will
be
a design
of
peace.
\VS{14}And
the
crown
will
be
for grace
to Heldai
and
Tobijah
and
Jedaiah
and
the
son
of
Zephaniah,
to keep
their memory living
in
the house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
those
who
are
far
away
will
come
and
be
builders
in
the
Temple
of
the
Lord,
and
it
will
be clear
to
you
that
the
Lord
of
armies
has
sent
me
to
you.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
in
the
fourth
year
of
King
Darius,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Zechariah
on
the
fourth
day
of
the
ninth
month,
the
month
Chislev.
\VS{2}Now
they
of Beth-el
had
sent
Sharezer
and Regem-melech
to make
a
request
for grace
from
the
Lord,
\VS{3}And
to
say
to
the
priests
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
armies
and
to
the
prophets,
Am
I
to go
on
weeping
in
the
fifth
month, separating myself
as
I
have
done
in past
years?
\VS{4}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
of
armies
came
to
me,
saying
\VS{5}Say
to
all
the
people
of
the
land
and
to
the
priests,
When
you
went without food
and
gave
yourselves
to grief
in
the
fifth
and
the
seventh
months
for
these
seventy
years, did
you
ever
do
it
because
of
me?
\VS{6}And
when
you
are
feasting
and
drinking,
are
you
not
doing
it only
for
yourselves?
\VS{7}Are
not
these
the
words
which
the
Lord
said
to
you
by
the
earlier
prophets,
when
Jerusalem
was full
of
people
and
wealth,
and
the
towns
round
about
her
and
the
South
and
the
Lowland
were peopled?
\VS{8}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Zechariah,
saying,
\VS{9}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said: Let
your
judging
be upright
and
done
in good
faith, let
every

mercy
and pity
for
his
brother:
\VS{10}Do
not
be hard
on
the
widow,
or
the child
without
a father,
on
the
man
from
a strange country,
or
on
the
poor;
let there
be
no
evil
thought
in
your
heart
against
your
brother.
\VS{11}But
they would not
give
attention, turning
their
backs
and stopping
their
ears
from
hearing;
\VS{12}And
they
made
their
hearts
like
the hardest
stone,
so
that
they
might
not
give ear
to
the
law
and
the
words
which
the
Lord
of
armies
had
said
by
the
earlier
prophets:
and
there
came
great
wrath
from
the
Lord
of
armies.
\VS{13}And
it
came
about
that
as
they
would
not
give ear
to
his voice,
so
I
would
not
give ear
to
their voice,
says
the
Lord
of
armies:
\VS{14}But
with
a storm-wind
I
sent
them
in flight
among
all
the
nations
of
whom
they
had
no
knowledge.
So
the
land
was
waste
after
them,
so
that
no
man
went
through
or
came
back:
for
they
had
made
waste
the desired
land.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
of
armies
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}These
are
the words
of
the
Lord
of
armies:
I
am
angry
about
the fate
of
Zion,
I
am
angry
about
her
with
great
wrath.
\VS{3}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
have
come
back
to
Zion,
and
will
make
my living-place
in
Jerusalem:
and
Jerusalem
will
be
named
The
town
of good
faith;
and
the
mountain
of
the
Lord
of
armies
The
holy
mountain.
\VS{4}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
There
will
again
be
old
men
and
old
women
seated
in
the
open spaces
of
Jerusalem,
every
man
with
his stick
in
his
hand
because
he
is
so
old.
\VS{5}And
the
open spaces
of
the
town
will be
full
of
boys
and
girls
playing
in
its
open spaces.
\VS{6}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
If
this
is
a wonder
to
the
rest
of
this
people,
is
it
a wonder
to
me?
says
the
Lord
of
armies.
\VS{7}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
See,
I
will
be
the saviour
of
my
people
from
the
east
country,
and
from
the
west
country;
\VS{8}And
I
will make
them
come
and
be
living
in
Jerusalem
and
they
will
be
to
me
a
people
and
I
will
be
to
them
a
God,
in good
faith
and
in
righteousness.
\VS{9}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said: Let
your
hands
be
strong,
you
who
are
now
hearing
these
words
from
the
mouths
of
the
prophets,
that
is
to
say,
in
the
days
when
the base
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
armies
has
been
put
in
place
for
the
building
of
the
house,
that
is
the
Temple.
\VS{10}For
before
those
days
there
was
no payment
for
a man's work,
or
for
the
use
of
a
beast,
and
there
was
no
peace
for
him
who
went
out
or
him
who
came
in,
because
of
the attacker:
for
I
had
every
man
turned
against
his neighbour.
\VS{11}But
now
I
will
not
be
to
the
rest
of
this
people
as
I
was
in
the
past,
says
the
Lord
of
armies.
\VS{12}For
I
will
let
the
seed
of
peace
be
planted;
the
vine
will
give
her
fruit
and
the
land
will
give
her
increase
and
the
heavens
will
give
their
dew;
and
I
will
give
to
the
rest
of
this
people
all
these
things
for
their heritage.
\VS{13}And
it
will
come
about
that,
as
you
were
a
curse
among
the
nations,
O children
of
Judah
and children
of
Israel,
so
I
will
give
you
salvation
and
you
will
be
a
blessing:
have
no
fear
and
let
your
hands
be
strong.
\VS{14}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
As
it
was
my
purpose
to do
evil
to
you
when
your
fathers
made
me
angry,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
my
purpose
was
not
changed:
\VS{15}So
in
these
days
it
is
again
my
purpose
to
do
good
to
Jerusalem
and
to
the children
of
Judah:
have
no
fear.
\VS{16}These
are
the
things
which
you
are
to
do: Let
every
man
say
what
is
true
to
his neighbour;
and let
your
judging
give
peace
in
your
towns.
\VS{17}Let
no
one
have
any
evil
thought
in
his
heart
against
his neighbour;
and
have
no
love
for
false
oaths:
for
all
these
things
are
hated
by
me,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{18}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
of
armies
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{19}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
The
times
of going without
food
in
the
fourth month
and
in
the
fifth
and
the
seventh
and
the
tenth
months,
will
be
for
the people
of
Judah
times
of
joy
and
happy meetings;
so
be
lovers
of
good
faith
and
of
peace.
\VS{20}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
It
will
again
come
about
that
when
peoples
and
those
living
in
great
towns
come,
\VS{21}And
the
people
of
one town
go
to
another
and
say,
Let
us
certainly
go
with
a
request
for grace
from
the
Lord,
and
to give worship
to
the
Lord
of
armies,
then
I
will
go
with
you.
\VS{22}And
great
peoples
and
strong
nations
will
come
to
give worship
to
the
Lord
of
armies
in
Jerusalem
and
to make requests
for grace
from
the
Lord.
\VS{23}This
is
what
the
Lord
of
armies
has
said:
In
those
days,
ten
men
from
all
the
languages
of
the
nations
will
put
out
their hands
and
take
a grip
of
the
skirt
of
him
who
is
a
Jew,
saying,
We
will go
with
you,
for
it
has
come
to
our ears
that
God
is
with
you.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A
word
of
the
Lord:
The
Lord
has come
to
the
land
of
Hadrach,
and
Damascus
is
his resting-place:
for
the towns
of Aram
are
the Lord's,
\VS{2}As
well
as
Hamath, which
is
by
its limit,
and
Tyre
and Zidon,
because
they
are
very
wise.
\VS{3}And
Tyre
made
for herself
a strong place,
and got together
silver
like
dust
and
the best
gold
like
the
earth
of
the
streets.
\VS{4}See,
the
Lord
will
take
away
her heritage, overturning
her
power
in
the
sea;
and
she
will
be burned
up
with
fire.
\VS{5}Ashkelon
will
see
it
with
fear,
and
Gaza, bent
with pain;
and
Ekron,
for
her
hope
will
be
shamed:
and
the
king
will
be cut
off
from
Gaza,
and
Ashkelon
will
be unpeopled.
\VS{6}And
a mixed
people
will be
living
in
Ashdod,
and
I
will
have
the
pride
of
the
Philistines
cut
off.
\VS{7}And
I
will
take
away
his
blood
from
his
mouth,
and
his disgusting
things
from
between
his
teeth;
and some
of
his
people
will
be kept
for
our
God:
and
he
will
be
as
a family
in
Judah,
and
Ekron
as
one living
in Jerusalem.
\VS{8}And
I
will
put
my
forces
in position round
my
house,
so
that
there
may
be
no
coming
and
going:
and
no cruel master
will
again
go
through
them:
for
now
I
have
seen
his trouble.
\VS{9}Be full
of
joy, O
daughter
of
Zion;
give
a
glad
cry, O
daughter
of
Jerusalem:
see,
your
king
comes
to
you:
he
is upright
and
has overcome; gentle
and
seated
on
an ass,
on
a
young ass.
\VS{10}And
he
will
have
the war-carriage
cut
off
from
Ephraim,
and
the
horse
from
Jerusalem,
and
the
bow
of
war
will
be
cut
off:
and
he
will
say words
of
peace
to
the
nations:
and

will
be
from
sea

from

as
for

your
agreement,
I
have
sent
out
your
prisoners
from
the deep hole
in
which
there
is
no
water.

they
will
come
back
to
you, O daughter
of Zion,
as
prisoners
of
hope:
today
I say
to
you
that
I
will
give
you
back
twice
as
much;
\VS{13}For
I
have
made
Judah
a
bow
bent
for
my use,
I
have
made
Ephraim

arrows
of
the
bow;
I
will
make
your
sons, O
Zion,
take
up arms
against
your
sons, O
Greece,
and
will
make
you
like
the
sword

of
war.

will
be

over
them,

for myself
two

I
took care
of

in
one
month
I put
an end
to
the
three keepers
of
the flock;
for
my
soul
was tired
of
them,
and
their
souls
were disgusted
with
me.

I
said,
I
will
not take care
of
you: If
death comes
to
any,
let
death
be
its fate; if
any
is
cut
off,
let
it
be
cut
off;
and
let
the
rest take
one another's
flesh
for
food.

I
took
my
rod Beautiful, cutting
it
in

so
that

agreement,
which
he
had
made
with
all
the
peoples,
might
be
broken.

it
was
broken
on
that
day:

the sheep-traders,
who
were
watching
me,
were
certain
that
it
was
the
word
of
the
Lord.
\VS{12}And
I
said
to
them,
If
it
seems
good
to
you,
give
me
my payment;
and
if
not,
do
not
give
it.
So
they
gave
me
my payment
by weight,
thirty
shekels
of
silver.
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
said
to
me,
Put
it
into
the store-house,
the
price
at
which
I
was
valued
by
them.
And
I
took
the
thirty
shekels
of
silver
and
put
them
into
the store-house
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{14}Then
I
took
my
other
rod,
the
one named Bands, cutting it
in
two,
so
that
the relation
of brothers
between
Judah
and
Israel
might
be
broken.
\VS{15}And
the
Lord
said
to
me,
Take
again
the
instruments
of
a
foolish keeper
of sheep.
\VS{16}For
see,
I
will
put
a sheep-keeper
over
the
land,
who
will
have
no
care
for
that which
is
cut
off,
and
will
not
go
in
search
of
the wanderers,
or
make well
what
is
broken,
and
he
will
not
give
food
to
that which
is ill,
but
he
will
take
for
his
food
the
flesh
of
the
fat,
and
let
their feet
be
broken.

on
the foolish keeper
who goes away
from

open
on
the
people
of
Judah,
and
I
will make
every
horse
of
the
peoples blind.
\VS{5}And
the families
of
Judah
will
say
in
their
hearts,
The
people
of
Jerusalem
have
their strength
in
the
Lord
of
armies,
their
God.
\VS{6}In
that
day
I
will
make
the families
of
Judah
like
a pot
with
fire
in
it
among
trees,
and
like
a
flaming
stick
among cut
grain;
they
will send destruction
on
all
the
peoples
round
about,
on
the
right
hand
and
on
the
left:
and
Jerusalem
will
be
living
again
in
the
place
which
is hers,
that
is,
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
will give
salvation
to
the
tents
of
Judah
first,
so
that
the
glory
of
the
family
of
David
and
the
glory
of
the
people
of
Jerusalem
may
not
be
greater
than
that
of
Judah.
\VS{8}In
that
day
the
Lord
will
be
a cover
over
the
people
of
Jerusalem;
and
he
who
is
feeble
among
them
in
that
day
will
be
as strong
as
David,
and
the
family
of
David
will
be
as
God,
as
the
angel
of
the
Lord
before
them.
\VS{9}And
it
will
come
about
on
that
day
that
I
will
take
in hand
the
destruction
of
all
the
nations
who
come
against
Jerusalem.
\VS{10}And
I
will send
down
on
the
family
of
David
and
on
the
people
of
Jerusalem
the
spirit
of
grace
and
of prayer;
and
their eyes
will
be
turned
to
the
one
who
was
wounded
by
their hands:
and
they
will
be
weeping
for
him
as
for
an
only
son,
and
their grief
for
him
will
be
bitter,
like
the grief
of
one sorrowing
for
his
oldest
son.
\VS{11}In
that
day there
will
be
a
great weeping
in
Jerusalem, like
the weeping
of Hadad-rimmon
in
the
valley
of Megiddon.
\VS{12}And
the
land
will give
itself
to weeping,
every
family separately;
the
family
of
David
by
themselves,
and
their
wives
by
themselves;
the
family
of
Nathan
by
themselves,
and
their
wives
by
themselves;
\VS{13}The
family
of
Levi
by
themselves,
and
their
wives
by
themselves;
the
family
of Shimei
by
themselves,
and
their
wives
by
themselves;
\VS{14}And
all
the
other
families
by
themselves,
and
their
wives
by
themselves.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
that
day
there
will
be
a
fountain
open
to
the
family
of
David
and
to
the
people
of
Jerusalem,
for
sin
and
for
that
which
is
unclean.
\VS{2}And
it
will
come
about
on
that
day,
says
the
Lord
of
armies,
that
I
will
have
the
names
of
the
images
cut
off
out
of
the
land,
and
there
will
be
no
more
memory
of
them:
and
I
will send
all
the
prophets
and
the
unclean
spirit
away
from
the
land.
\VS{3}And
if
anyone goes
on acting
as
a
prophet,
then
his
father
and
his
mother
who
gave
him
life
will
say
to
him,
You
may
not
go
on
living,
for
you
are
saying
what
is
false
in
the
name
of
the
Lord;
and
his
father
and
his
mother
will put
a sword
through
him
when
he
does
so.
\VS{4}And
it
will
come
about
in
that
day
that
the
prophets
will
be
shamed,
every
man
on
account
of
his
vision,
when
he
is talking
as
a
prophet;
and
they
will
not
put
on
a
robe
of
hair
for purposes
of deceit:
\VS{5}But
he
will
say,
I
am
no
prophet,
but
a worker
on
the
land;
for
I
have
been
an
owner
of
land
from
the time
when
I
was young.
\VS{6}And
if
anyone
says
to
him,
What
are
these
wounds
between
your
hands?
then
he
will
say,
Those
with
which
I
was
wounded
in
the
house
of
my
friends.
\VS{7}Awake!
O
sword,
against
the keeper
of
my
flock,
and
against
him
who
is
with
me,
says
the
Lord
of
armies:
put
to death
the keeper
of
the
sheep,
and
the
sheep
will
go
in flight:
and
my
hand
will
be
turned
against
the
little ones.
\VS{8}And
it
will
come
about
that
in
all
the
land,
says
the
Lord,
two
parts
of
it
will
be
cut
off
and
come
to
an
end;
but
the
third
will
be still living
there.
\VS{9}And
I
will
make
the
third
part
go
through
the
fire, cleaning
them
as
silver
is
made clean,
and
testing
them
as
gold
is
tested:
and
they
will
make
their prayer
to
me
and
I
will
give
them
an
answer:
I
will
say,
It
is
my
people;
and
they
will
say,
The
Lord
is
my
God.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}See,
a
day
of
the
Lord
is
coming
when
they
will make division
of
your goods taken
by force
before
your eyes.
\VS{2}For
I
will
get
all
the
nations
together
to
make
war
against
Jerusalem;
and
the
town
will
be overcome,
and
the goods
taken
from
the
houses,
and
the
women
taken
by
force:
and
half
the
town
will
go
away
as prisoners,
and
the
rest
of
the
people
will
not
be
cut
off
from
the
town.
\VS{3}Then
the
Lord
will
go
out
and make
war
against
those
nations,
as
he
did
in
the
day
of
the
fight.
\VS{4}And
in
that
day
his
feet
will
be
on
the
Mount
of
Olives,
which
is
opposite
Jerusalem
on
the
east,
and
the
Mount
of
Olives
will
be parted
in
the
middle
to
the
east
and
to
the
west, forming
a
very
great
valley;
and
half
the
mountain
will
be
moved
to
the
north
and
half
of
it
to
the
south.
\VS{5}And
the
valley
will
be
stopped ...
and
you
will
go
in
flight
as
you
went
in
flight
from
the earth-shock
in
the
days
of
Uzziah,
king
of
Judah:
and
the
Lord
my
God
will
come,
and
all
his
holy
ones
with
him.
\VS{6}And
in
that
day
there
will
be
no heat
or cold
or ice;
\VS{7}And
it
will
be unbroken
day,
such
as
the
Lord
has
knowledge
of,
without change
of
day
and
night,
and
even
at nightfall
it
will
be
light.
\VS{8}And
on
that
day
living
waters
will
go
out
from
Jerusalem;
half
of
them
flowing
to
the
sea
on
the
east
and
half
to
the
sea
on
the
west:
in
summer
and
in
winter
it
will
be
so.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
will
be
King
over
all
the
earth:
in
that
day
there
will
be
one
Lord
and
his
name
one.
\VS{10}And
all
the
land
will become
like
the
Arabah,
from
Geba
to
Rimmon
south
of
Jerusalem;
and
she
will
be lifted
up
and
be
living
in
her
place;
from
the doorway
of
Benjamin
to
the
place
of
the
first doorway,
to
the doorway
of
the angle,
and
from
the
tower
of
Hananel
to
the king's wine-crushing
places,
men
will
be
living
in
her.
\VS{11}And
there
will
be
no
more curse;
but
Jerusalem
will
be
living
without fear
of danger.
\VS{12}And
this
will
be
the disease
which
the
Lord
will send
on
all
the
peoples
which
have
been warring
against
Jerusalem:
their
flesh
will
be wasted
away
while
they
are
on
their
feet,
their
eyes
will
be wasted
in
their heads
and
their
tongues
in
their
mouths.
\VS{13}And
it
will
be
on
that
day
that
a
great fear
will
be
sent
among
them
from
the
Lord;
and
everyone
will
take
his neighbour's
hand,
and
every man's
hand
will
be
lifted
against
his neighbour's.
\VS{14}And
even
Judah
will
be
fighting
against
Jerusalem;
and
the
wealth
of
all
the
nations
round
about
will
be massed
together,
a
great store
of
gold
and
silver
and
clothing.
\VS{15}And
the
horses
and
the transport
beasts,
the
camels
and
the asses
and
all
the
beasts
in
those tents
will
be attacked
by
the
same disease.
\VS{16}And
it
will
come
about
that
everyone
who
is
still living,
of
all
those
nations
who
came
against
Jerusalem,
will
go
up
from
year
to
year
to
give
worship
to
the
King,
the
Lord
of
armies,
and
to
keep
the
feast
of tents.
\VS{17}And
it
will
be
that
if
any
one
of
all
the
families
of
the
earth
does
not
go
up
to
Jerusalem
to
give
worship
to
the
King,
the
Lord
of
armies,
on
them
there
will
be
no
rain.
\VS{18}And
if
the
family
of
Egypt
does
not
go
up
or
come
there,
they
will
be
attacked
by
the disease
which
the
Lord
will
send
on
the
nations:
\VS{19}This
will
be
the punishment
of
Egypt,
and
the punishment
of
all
the
nations
who
do
not
go
up
to keep
the
feast
of tents.
\VS{20}On
that
day
all
the
bells
of
the
horses
will
be
holy
to
the
Lord,
and
the
pots
in
the Lord's
house
will
be
like
the
basins
before
the
altar.
\VS{21}And
every
pot
in
Jerusalem
and
in
Judah
will
be
holy
to
the
Lord
of
armies:
and
all
those
who
make
offerings
will
come
and
take
them
for
boiling
their
offerings:
in
that
day
there
will
be
no
more traders
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
armies.
