The book of Zechariah Chapter 1. In the eighth month of the second year Of Darius The word of the Lord came to Zechariah The son of barakaya the son of Ido the Prophet saying The Lord has been very angry with your Fathers Therefore say to them Thus says the Lord of hosts Return to me says the Lord of hosts and I will return to you says the Lord of Hosts Do not be like your fathers to whom the Former prophets preached saying thus Says the Lord of hosts turn now from Your evil ways and your evil Deeds But they did not hear nor heed me says The Lord Your fathers where are they And the prophets do they live forever Yet surely my words and my statutes Which I commanded my servants the Prophets Did they not overtake your fathers So they returned and said Just as the Lord of hosts determined to Do to us according to our ways and According to our Deeds So he has dealt with us On the 24th day of the 11th month which Is the month shibat in the second year Of Darius

The word of the Lord came to Zechariah The son of barakaya the son of Ido the Prophet I saw by night And behold a man riding on a red horse And it stood among the Myrtle trees in The hollow And behind him were horses red Sorrel And white Then I said My Lord what are these So the angel who talked with me said to Me I will show you what they are And the man who stood among the Myrtle Trees answered and said These are the ones whom the Lord has Sent to walk to and fro throughout the Earth So they answered the angel of the Lord Who stood among the Myrtle trees and Said We have walked to and fro throughout the Earth And behold all the Earth is resting Quietly Then the angel of the Lord answered and Said O Lord of hosts how long will you not Have mercy on Jerusalem and on the Cities of Judah against which you were Angry these 70 years And the Lord answered the angel who Talks to me with good and comforting

Words So the angel who spoke with me said to Me Proclaim saying thus says the Lord of Hosts I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion With great zeal I am exceedingly angry with the Nations At ease For I was a little angry and they helped But with evil intent Therefore thus says the Lord I am returning to Jerusalem with Mercy My house shall be built in it says the Lord of hosts And a surveyor's line shall be stretched Out over Jerusalem Again Proclaim saying thus says the Lord Of hosts My cities shall again spread out through Prosperity The Lord will again Comfort Zion and Will again choose Jerusalem Then I raised my eyes and looked and There were four horns And I said to the angel who talked with Me what are these So he answered me these are the horns That have scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem Then the Lord showed me four Craftsmen And I said What are these coming to do So he said

These are the horns that scattered Judah So that no one could lift up his head But the Craftsmen are coming to terrify Them to cast out the horns of the Nations that lifted up their horn Against the land of Judah to scatter it
