1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word



of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the



prophet, saying, 1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your



fathers.







1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn



ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith



the LORD of hosts.







1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have



cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your



evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor



hearken unto me, saith the LORD.







1:5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for



ever?  1:6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants



the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they



returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us,



according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt



with us.







1:7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is



the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the



LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the



prophet, saying, 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a



red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the



bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.







1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked



with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.







1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said,



These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the



earth.







1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the



myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth,



and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.







1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts,



how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of



Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and



ten years?  1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me



with good words and comfortable words.







1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou,



saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and



for Zion with a great jealousy.







1:15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease:



for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the



affliction.







1:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with



mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a



line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.







1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through



prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort



Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.







1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.







1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And



he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah,



Israel, and Jerusalem.







1:20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.







1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These



are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up



his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of



the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to



scatter it.







2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a



measuring line in his hand.







2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure



Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length



thereof.







2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another



angel went out to meet him, 2:4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this



young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls



for the multitude of men and cattle therein: 2:5 For I, saith the



LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the



glory in the midst of her.







2:6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the



LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven,



saith the LORD.







2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of



Babylon.







2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me



unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth



the apple of his eye.







2:9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a



spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath



sent me.







2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will



dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.







2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and



shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou



shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.







2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land,



and shall choose Jerusalem again.







2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out



of his holy habitation.







3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel



of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.







3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even



the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand



plucked out of the fire?  3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy



garments, and stood before the angel.







3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him,



saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said,



Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will



clothe thee with change of raiment.







3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a



fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel



of the LORD stood by.







3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 3:7 Thus



saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou



wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt



also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these



that stand by.







3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit



before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring



forth my servant the BRANCH.







3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one



stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof,



saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land



in one day.







3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his



neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.







4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a



man that is wakened out of his sleep.







4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and



behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and



his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are



upon the top thereof: 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the



right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.







4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying,



What are these, my lord?  4:5 Then the angel that talked with me



answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said,



No, my lord.







4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of



the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by



my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.







4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt



become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with



shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.







4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 4:9 The hands



of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall



also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent



me unto you.







4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall



rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with



those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro



through the whole earth.







4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive



trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side



thereof?  4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these



two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden



oil out of themselves?  4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou



not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.







4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the



LORD of the whole earth.







5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a



flying roll.







5:2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a



flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth



thereof ten cubits.







5:3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the



face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off



as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be



cut off as on that side according to it.







5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter



into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth



falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and



shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.







5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me,



Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.







5:6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth



forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the



earth.







5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a



woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.







5:8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of



the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.







5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came



out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings



like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the



earth and the heaven.







5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these



bear the ephah?  5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the



land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her



own base.







6:1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold,



there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the



mountains were mountains of brass.







6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot



black horses; 6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the



fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.







6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What



are these, my lord?  6:5 And the angel answered and said unto me,



These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from



standing before the LORD of all the earth.







6:6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north



country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth



toward the south country.







6:7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to



and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro



through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.







6:8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these



that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north



country.







6:9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 6:10 Take of them



of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which



are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the



house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 6:11 Then take silver and gold,



and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of



Josedech, the high priest; 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus



speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The



BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the



temple of the LORD: 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD;



and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne;



and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace



shall be between them both.







6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah,



and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the



LORD.







6:15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of



the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto



you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice



of the LORD your God.







7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the



word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth



month, even in Chisleu; 7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God



Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, 7:3



And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of



hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month,



separating myself, as I have done these so many years?  7:4 Then came



the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 7:5 Speak unto all the



people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and



mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did



ye at all fast unto me, even to me?  7:6 And when ye did eat, and when



ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?



7:7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the



former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and



the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and



the plain?  7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,



7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment,



and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 7:10 And



oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor;



and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.







7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and



stopped their ears, that they should not hear.







7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should



hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his



spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the



LORD of hosts.







7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would



not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of



hosts: 7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the



nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them,



that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant



land desolate.







8:1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 8:2 Thus



saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy,



and I was jealous for her with great fury.







8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in



the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth;



and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.







8:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old



women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff



in his hand for very age.







8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls



playing in the streets thereof.







8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of



the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous



in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.







8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from



the east country, and from the west country; 8:8 And I will bring



them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall



be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.







8:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that



hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which



were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts



was laid, that the temple might be built.







8:10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for



beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in



because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his



neighbour.







8:11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the



former days, saith the LORD of hosts.







8:12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit,



and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give



their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all



these things.







8:13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the



heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you,



and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.







8:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you,



when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I



repented not: 8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well



unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.







8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the



truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in



your gates: 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts



against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are



things that I hate, saith the LORD.







8:18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, 8:19 Thus



saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of



the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth,



shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts;



therefore love the truth and peace.







8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that



there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 8:21 And



the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go



speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I



will go also.







8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD



of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.







8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to



pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the



nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew,



saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.







9:1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and



Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all



the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.







9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it



be very wise.







9:3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as



the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.







9:4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in



the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.







9:5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be



very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and



the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.







9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride



of the Philistines.







9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his



abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he,



shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and



Ekron as a Jebusite.







9:8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of



him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no



oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with



mine eyes.







9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of



Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having



salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of



an ass.







9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from



Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak



peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to



sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.







9:11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth



thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.







9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do



I declare that I will render double unto thee; 9:13 When I have bent



Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O



Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a



mighty man.







9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go



forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and



shall go with whirlwinds of the south.







9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and



subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as



through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners



of the altar.







9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock



of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up



as an ensign upon his land.







9:17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn



shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.







10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the



LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every



one grass in the field.







10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a



lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they



went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no



shepherd.







10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the



goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of



Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.







10:4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him



the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.







10:5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies



in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight,



because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be



confounded.







10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the



house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have



mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off:



for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.







10:7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart



shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and



be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.







10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them:



and they shall increase as they have increased.







10:9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me



in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn



again.







10:10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and



gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of



Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.







10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall



smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry



up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of



Egypt shall depart away.







10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up



and down in his name, saith the LORD.







11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.







11:2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are



spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is



come down.







11:3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory



is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of



Jordan is spoiled.







11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 11:5



Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they



that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own



shepherds pity them not.







11:6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the



LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's



hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land,



and out of their hand I will not deliver them.







11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the



flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the



other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.







11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed



them, and their soul also abhorred me.







11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die;



and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest



eat every one the flesh of another.







11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I



might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.







11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that



waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.







11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if



not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.







11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly



price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of



silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.







11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might



break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.







11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of



a foolish shepherd.







11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not



visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor



heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he



shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.







11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall



be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried



up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.







12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,



which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the



earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.







12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the



people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah



and against Jerusalem.







12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all



people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,



though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.







12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with



astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes



upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with



blindness.







12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The



inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts



their God.







12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of



fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they



shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the



left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in



Jerusalem.







12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory



of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do



not magnify themselves against Judah.







12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;



and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and



the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before



them.







12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to



destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.







12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the



inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications:



and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall



mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in



bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.







12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the



mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.







12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the



house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house



of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 12:13 The family of the house



of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and



their wives apart; 12:14 All the families that remain, every family



apart, and their wives apart.







13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of



David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.







13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts,



that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they



shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and



the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.







13:3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then



his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou



shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and



his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when



he prophesieth.







13:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be



ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither



shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 13:5 But he shall say, I



am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle



from my youth.







13:6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands?



Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of



my friends.







13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is



my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep



shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.







13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD,



two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be



left therein.







13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine



them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they



shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my



people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.







14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be



divided in the midst of thee.







14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and



the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women



ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the



residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.







14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as



when he fought in the day of battle.







14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,



which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall



cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and



there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall



remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.







14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley



of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye



fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:



and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.







14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not



be clear, nor dark: 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known



to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at



evening time it shall be light.







14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from



Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward



the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.







14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall



there be one LORD, and his name one.







14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon



south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her



place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the



corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's



winepresses.







14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter



destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.







14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all



the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall



consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall



consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in



their mouth.







14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from



the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the



hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of



his neighbour.







14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all



the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver,



and apparel, in great abundance.







14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the



camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these



tents, as this plague.







14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all



the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to



year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of



tabernacles.







14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families



of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,



even upon them shall be no rain.







14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no



rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the



heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.







14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all



nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.







14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,



HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like



the bowls before the altar.







14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto



the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of



them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the



Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
