On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

Therefore the LORD says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’

\w Therefore|strong="H3651"\w* \w the|strong="H0559"\w* \w LORD|strong="H3068"\w* \w says|strong="H0559"\w*: “\w I|strong="H3541"\w* \w have|strong="H3068"\w* \w returned|strong="H7725"\w* \w to|strong="H0559"\w* \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w* \w with|strong="H1004"\w* \w mercy|strong="H7356"\w*. \w My|strong="H3068"\w* \w house|strong="H1004"\w* \w shall|strong="H3068"\w* \w be|strong="H3068"\w* \w built|strong="H1129"\w* \w in|strong="H5921"\w* \w it|strong="H5921"\w*,” \w says|strong="H0559"\w* \w the|strong="H0559"\w* \w LORD|strong="H3068"\w* \w of|strong="H1004"\w* \w Hosts|strong="H6635"\w*, “\w and|strong="H3068"\w* \w a|strong="H1129"\w* line \w shall|strong="H3068"\w* \w be|strong="H3068"\w* \w stretched|strong="H5186"\w* \w out|strong="H5186"\w* \w over|strong="H5921"\w* \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*.”’

He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 

He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.” 

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.

\w Now|strong="H1961"\w* \w Joshua|strong="H3091"\w* \w was|strong="H1961"\w* \w clothed|strong="H3847"\w* \w with|strong="H3847"\w* \w filthy|strong="H6674"\w* \w garments|strong="H0899"\w*, \w and|strong="H6440"\w* \w was|strong="H1961"\w* \w standing|strong="H5975"\w* \w before|strong="H6440"\w* \w the|strong="H6440"\w* \w angel|strong="H4397"\w*. 

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

\w He|strong="H0853"\w* \w answered|strong="H0559"\w* \w and|strong="H6440"\w* \w spoke|strong="H0559"\w* \w to|strong="H0413"\w* \w those|strong="H5921"\w* \w who|strong="H0559"\w* \w stood|strong="H5975"\w* \w before|strong="H6440"\w* \w him|strong="H0413"\w*, \w saying|strong="H0559"\w*, “\w Take|strong="H5493"\w* \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w filthy|strong="H6674"\w* \w garments|strong="H0899"\w* \w off|strong="H5921"\w* \w him|strong="H0413"\w*.” \w To|strong="H0413"\w* \w him|strong="H0413"\w* \w he|strong="H0853"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, “\w Behold|strong="H7200"\w*, \w I|strong="H7200"\w* \w have|strong="H5771"\w* caused \w your|strong="H5921"\w* \w iniquity|strong="H5771"\w* \w to|strong="H0413"\w* \w pass|strong="H5674"\w* \w from|strong="H5493"\w* \w you|strong="H6440"\w*, \w and|strong="H6440"\w* \w I|strong="H7200"\w* \w will|strong="H5771"\w* \w clothe|strong="H3847"\w* \w you|strong="H6440"\w* \w with|strong="H0413"\w* rich \w clothing|strong="H0899"\w*.”

So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the LORD’s angel was standing by.

So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favour” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.

\w So|strong="H3651"\w* \w I|strong="H3651"\w* fed \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w flock|strong="H6629"\w* \w to|strong="H7121"\w* \w be|strong="H0259"\w* slaughtered, \w especially|strong="H0853"\w* \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w oppressed|strong="H6041"\w* \w of|strong="H0259"\w* \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w flock|strong="H6629"\w*. \w I|strong="H3651"\w* \w took|strong="H3947"\w* \w for|strong="H7121"\w* myself \w two|strong="H8147"\w* \w staffs|strong="H4731"\w*. \w The|strong="H0853"\w* \w one|strong="H0259"\w* \w I|strong="H3651"\w* \w called|strong="H7121"\w* “Favour” \w and|strong="H6629"\w* \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w other|strong="H0259"\w* \w I|strong="H3651"\w* \w called|strong="H7121"\w* “Union”, \w and|strong="H6629"\w* \w I|strong="H3651"\w* fed \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w flock|strong="H6629"\w*. 

I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

\w I|strong="H5315"\w* \w cut|strong="H3582"\w* \w off|strong="H3582"\w* \w the|strong="H0853"\w* \w three|strong="H7969"\w* \w shepherds|strong="H7462"\w* \w in|strong="H5315"\w* \w one|strong="H0259"\w* \w month|strong="H3391"\w*; \w for|strong="H0259"\w* \w my|strong="H5315"\w* \w soul|strong="H5315"\w* \w was|strong="H0259"\w* weary \w of|strong="H0259"\w* \w them|strong="H0853"\w*, \w and|strong="H0853"\w* \w their|strong="H1571"\w* \w soul|strong="H5315"\w* \w also|strong="H1571"\w* loathed \w me|strong="H5315"\w*. 

Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”

\w Then|strong="H0853"\w* \w I|strong="H0559"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, “\w I|strong="H0559"\w* \w will|strong="H1320"\w* \w not|strong="H3808"\w* \w feed|strong="H0398"\w* \w you|strong="H0853"\w*. \w That|strong="H0559"\w* \w which|strong="H0802"\w* \w dies|strong="H4191"\w*, \w let|strong="H3808"\w* \w it|strong="H0398"\w* \w die|strong="H4191"\w*; \w and|strong="H0398"\w* \w that|strong="H0559"\w* \w which|strong="H0802"\w* \w is|strong="H1320"\w* \w to|strong="H0559"\w* \w be|strong="H4191"\w* \w cut|strong="H3582"\w* \w off|strong="H3582"\w*, \w let|strong="H3808"\w* \w it|strong="H0398"\w* \w be|strong="H4191"\w* \w cut|strong="H3582"\w* \w off|strong="H3582"\w*; \w and|strong="H0398"\w* \w let|strong="H3808"\w* \w those|strong="H0853"\w* \w who|strong="H0802"\w* \w are|strong="H0802"\w* \w left|strong="H7604"\w* \w eat|strong="H0398"\w* \w each|strong="H0802"\w* other’s \w flesh|strong="H1320"\w*.” 

I took my staff Favour and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
