Zechariah 1

KJV

1  In the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ month,²³²⁰ in the second⁸¹⁴⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ of Darius,¹⁸⁶⁷ came¹⁹⁶¹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Berechiah,¹²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Iddo⁵⁷¹⁴ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath been sore displeased^{7107 7110} with⁵⁹²¹ your fathers.¹

3  Therefore say⁵⁵⁹ thou unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ Turn⁷⁷²⁵ ye unto⁴¹³ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ and I will turn⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ you, saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

4  Be¹⁹⁶¹ ye not⁴⁰⁸ as your fathers,¹ unto⁴¹³ whom⁸³⁴ the former⁷²²³ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ have cried,⁷¹²¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ Turn⁷⁷²⁵ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ from your evil⁷⁴⁵¹ ways,^{4480 1870} and from your evil⁷⁴⁵¹ doings:⁴⁶¹¹ but they did not³⁸⁰⁸ hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ nor³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁷¹⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  Your fathers,¹ where³⁴⁶ are they?¹⁹⁹² and the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ do they live²⁴²¹ forever?⁵⁷⁶⁹

6  But³⁸⁹ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ and my statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ which⁸³⁴ I commanded^{6680 853} my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ did they not³⁸⁰⁸ take hold⁵³⁸¹ of your fathers?¹ and they returned⁷⁷²⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Like as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ thought²¹⁶¹ to do⁶²¹³ unto us, according to our ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and according to our doings,⁴⁶¹¹ so³⁶⁵¹ hath he dealt⁶²¹³ with⁸⁵⁴ us.

7  Upon the four⁷⁰² and twentieth⁶²⁴² day³¹¹⁷ of the eleventh^{6249 6240} month,²³²⁰ which¹⁹³¹ is the month²³²⁰ Sebat,⁷⁶²⁷ in the second⁸¹⁴⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ of Darius,¹⁸⁶⁷ came¹⁹⁶¹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Berechiah,¹²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Iddo⁵⁷¹⁴ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

8  I saw⁷²⁰⁰ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and behold²⁰⁰⁹ a man³⁷⁶ riding⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ a red¹²² horse,⁵⁴⁸³ and he¹⁹³¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ among⁹⁹⁶ the myrtle trees¹⁹¹⁸ that⁸³⁴ were in the bottom;⁴⁶⁹⁹ and behind³¹⁰ him were there red¹²² horses,⁵⁴⁸³ speckled,⁸³²⁰ and white.³⁸³⁶

9  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, O my lord,¹¹³ what⁴¹⁰⁰ are these?⁴²⁸ And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with me said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, I⁵⁸⁹ will show⁷²⁰⁰ thee what⁴¹⁰⁰ these⁴²⁸ be.

10  And the man³⁷⁶ that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ among⁹⁹⁶ the myrtle trees¹⁹¹⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ These⁴²⁸ are they whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to walk to and fro¹⁹⁸⁰ through the earth.⁷⁷⁶

11  And they answered^{6030 853} the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ among⁹⁹⁶ the myrtle trees,¹⁹¹⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ We have walked to and fro¹⁹⁸⁰ through the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ sitteth still,³⁴²⁷ and is at rest.⁸²⁵²

12  Then the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ how long^{5704 4970} wilt thou⁸⁵⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ have mercy on^{7355 853} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ and on the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ against which⁸³⁴ thou hast had indignation²¹⁹⁴ these²⁰⁸⁸ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ years?⁸¹⁴¹

13  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ answered^{6030 853} the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with me with good²⁸⁹⁶ words¹⁶⁹⁷ and comfortable⁵¹⁵⁰ words.¹⁶⁹⁷

14  So the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with me said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Cry⁷¹²¹ thou, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ I am jealous⁷⁰⁶⁵ for Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ and for Zion⁶⁷²⁶ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ jealousy.⁷⁰⁶⁸

15  And I⁵⁸⁹ am very¹⁴¹⁹ sore displeased^{7107 7110} with⁵⁹²¹ the heathen¹⁴⁷¹ that are at ease:⁷⁶⁰⁰ for⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ was but a little⁴⁵⁹² displeased,⁷¹⁰⁷ and they¹⁹⁹² helped⁵⁸²⁶ forward the affliction.⁷⁴⁵¹

16  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I am returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with mercies:⁷³⁵⁶ my house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall be built¹¹²⁹ in it, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ and a line⁶⁹⁵⁷ shall be stretched forth⁵¹⁸⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

17  Cry⁷¹²¹ yet,⁵⁷⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ My cities⁵⁸⁹² through prosperity^{4480 2896} shall yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ be spread abroad;⁶³²⁷ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ comfort^{5162 853} Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ and shall yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ choose⁹⁷⁷ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

18  Then lifted I up^{5375 853} mine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and saw,⁷²⁰⁰ and behold²⁰⁰⁹ four⁷⁰² horns.⁷¹⁶¹

19  And I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with me, What⁴¹⁰⁰ be these?⁴²⁸ And he answered^{559 413} me, These⁴²⁸ are the horns⁷¹⁶¹ which⁸³⁴ have scattered^{2219 853} Judah,^{3063 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ showed⁷²⁰⁰ me four⁷⁰² carpenters.²⁷⁹⁶

21  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, What⁴¹⁰⁰ come⁹³⁵ these⁴²⁸ to do?⁶²¹³ And he spoke,⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ These⁴²⁸ are the horns⁷¹⁶¹ which⁸³⁴ have scattered^{2219 853} Judah,³⁰⁶³ so that no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ did lift up⁵³⁷⁵ his head:⁷²¹⁸ but these⁴²⁸ are come⁹³⁵ to frighten²⁷²⁹ them, to cast out^{3034 853} the horns⁷¹⁶¹ of the Gentiles,¹⁴⁷¹ which lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their horn⁷¹⁶¹ over⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ to scatter²²¹⁹ it.

1 ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ μηνὶ ἔτους δευτέρου ἐπὶ Δαρείου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ζαχαριαν τὸν τοῦ Βαραχιου υἱὸν Αδδω τὸν προφήτην λέγων

2 ὠργίσθη κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν ὀργὴν μεγάλην

3 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐπιστρέψατε πρός με καὶ ἐπιστραφήσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος

4 καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν οἷς ἐνεκάλεσαν αὐτοῖς οἱ προφῆται οἱ ἔμπροσθεν λέγοντες τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ οὐ προσέσχον τοῦ εἰσακοῦσαί μου λέγει κύριος

5 οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ποῦ εἰσιν καὶ οἱ προφῆται μὴ τὸν αἰῶνα ζήσονται

6 πλὴν τοὺς λόγους μου καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου δέχεσθε ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ἐν πνεύματί μου τοῖς δούλοις μου τοῖς προφήταις οἳ κατελάβοσαν τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν καθὼς παρατέτακται κύριος παντοκράτωρ τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν οὕτως ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν

7 τῇ τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ μηνί οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μὴν Σαβατ ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει ἐπὶ Δαρείου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ζαχαριαν τὸν τοῦ Βαραχιου υἱὸν Αδδω τὸν προφήτην λέγων

8 ἑώρακα τὴν νύκτα καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ἵππον πυρρόν καὶ οὗτος εἱστήκει ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο ὀρέων τῶν κατασκίων καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἵπποι πυρροὶ καὶ ψαροὶ καὶ ποικίλοι καὶ λευκοί

9 καὶ εἶπα τί οὗτοι κύριε καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί ἐγὼ δείξω σοι τί ἐστιν ταῦτα

10 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἐφεστηκὼς ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτοί εἰσιν οὓς ἐξαπέσταλκεν κύριος τοῦ περιοδεῦσαι τὴν γῆν

11 καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν τῷ ἀγγέλῳ κυρίου τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων καὶ εἶπον περιωδεύκαμεν πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖται καὶ ἡσυχάζει

12 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν κύριε παντοκράτωρ ἕως τίνος οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃς τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ιουδα ἃς ὑπερεῖδες τοῦτο ἑβδομηκοστὸν ἔτος

13 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη κύριος παντοκράτωρ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ λαλοῦντι ἐν ἐμοὶ ῥήματα καλὰ καὶ λόγους παρακλητικούς

14 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί ἀνάκραγε λέγων τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐζήλωκα τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὴν Σιων ζῆλον μέγαν

15 καὶ ὀργὴν μεγάλην ἐγὼ ὀργίζομαι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ συνεπιτιθέμενα ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐγὼ μὲν ὠργίσθην ὀλίγα αὐτοὶ δὲ συνεπέθεντο εἰς κακά

16 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπιστρέψω ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἐν οἰκτιρμῷ καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου ἀνοικοδομηθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ καὶ μέτρον ἐκταθήσεται ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἔτι

17 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί ἀνάκραγε λέγων τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἔτι διαχυθήσονται πόλεις ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ ἐλεήσει κύριος ἔτι τὴν Σιων καὶ αἱρετιεῖ ἔτι τὴν Ιερουσαλημ

1 In mense octavo, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiæ filii Addo prophetam, dicens:

2 Iratus est Dominus super patres vestros iracundia.

3 Et dices ad eos: [Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Convertimini ad me, ait Dominus exercituum,
et convertar ad vos, dicit Dominus exercituum.

4 Ne sitis sicut patres vestri,
ad quos clamabant prophetæ priores, dicentes:
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Convertimini de viis vestris malis,
et de cogitationibus vestris pessimis:
et non audierunt, neque attenderunt ad me,
dicit Dominus.

5 Patres vestri, ubi sunt?
et prophetæ numquid in sempiternum vivent?

6 Verumtamen verba mea, et legitima mea,
quæ mandavi servis meis prophetis,
numquid non comprehenderunt patres vestros,
et conversi sunt, et dixerunt:
Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis
secundum vias nostras, et secundum adinventiones nostras,
fecit nobis?]

7 In die vigesima et quarta undecimi mensis Sabath, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiæ filii Addo prophetam, dicens:

8 Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir ascendens super equum rufum, et ipse stabat inter myrteta, quæ erant in profundo, et post eum equi rufi, varii, et albi.

9 Et dixi: Quid sunt isti, domine mi? Et dixit ad me angelus qui loquebatur in me: Ego ostendam tibi quid sint hæc.

10 Et respondit vir qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixit: Isti sunt quos misit Dominus ut perambulent terram.

11 Et responderunt angelo Domini, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixerunt: Perambulavimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitatur, et quiescit.

12 Et respondit angelus Domini, et dixit: Domine exercituum, usquequo tu non misereberis Jerusalem, et urbium Juda, quibus iratus es? iste jam septuagesimus annus est.

13 Et respondit Dominus angelo qui loquebatur in me verba bona, verba consolatoria.

14 Et dixit ad me angelus qui loquebatur in me: Clama, dicens: [Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Zelatus sum Jerusalem et Sion zelo magno,

15 et ira magna ego irascor super gentes opulentas,
quia ego iratus sum parum,
ipsi vero adjuverunt in malum.

16 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus:
Revertar ad Jerusalem in misericordiis,
et domus mea ædificabitur in ea, ait Dominus exercituum,
et perpendiculum extendetur super Jerusalem.]

17 Adhuc clama, dicens: [Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Adhuc affluent civitates meæ bonis,
et consolabitur adhuc Dominus Sion, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.]

18 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce quatuor cornua.

19 Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt hæc? Et dixit ad me: Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam, et Israël, et Jerusalem.

20 Et ostendit mihi Dominus quatuor fabros.

21 Et dixi: Quid isti veniunt facere? Qui ait, dicens: Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam per singulos viros, et nemo eorum levavit caput suum: et venerunt isti deterrere ea, ut dejiciant cornua gentium, quæ levaverunt cornu super terram Juda ut dispergerent eam.
