<ol>
<li><span>In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius,
the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Barachias, the
son of Addo, the prophet, saying:</span></li>
<li><span>The Lord hath been exceeding angry with your
fathers.</span></li>
<li><span>And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts:
Turn ye to me, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will turn to you,
saith the Lord of hosts.</span></li>
<li><span>Be not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have
cried, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Turn ye from your evil
ways, and from your wicked thoughts: but they did not give ear,
neither did they hearken to me, saith the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, shall
they live always?</span></li>
<li><span>But yet my words, and my ordinances, which I gave in
charge to my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your
fathers, and they returned, and said: As the Lord of hosts thought
to do to us according to our ways, and according to our devices, so
he hath done to us.</span></li>
<li><span>In the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month which
is called Sabath, in the second year of Darius, the word of the
Lord came to Zechariah the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the
prophet, saying:</span></li>
<li><span>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 horses, red, speckled, and white.</span></li>
<li><span>And I said: What are these, my Lord ? and the angel that
spoke in me, said to me: I will shew thee what these
are:</span></li>
<li><span>And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered,
and said: These are they, whom the Lord hath sent to walk through
the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And they answered the angel of the Lord, that stood among
the myrtle trees, and said: We have walked through the earth, and
behold all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.</span></li>
<li><span>And 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 Juda, with which thou hast been angry? this is now the
seventieth year.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord answered the angel, that spoke in me, good
words, comfortable words.</span></li>
<li><span>And the angel that spoke in me, said to me: Cry thou,
saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am zealous for Jerusalem,
and Sion with a great zeal.</span></li>
<li><span>And I am angry with a great anger with the wealthy
nations: for I was angry a little, but they helped forward the
evil.</span></li>
<li><span>Therefore thus saith the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem
in mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts:
and the building line shall be stretched forth upon
Jerusalem.</span></li>
<li><span>Cry yet, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: My cities
shall yet flow with good things : and the Lord will yet comfort
Sion, and he will yet choose Jerusalem.</span></li>
<li><span>And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four
horns.</span></li>
<li><span>And I said to the angel that spoke to me: What are these?
And he said to me: These are the horns that have scattered Juda,
and Israel, and Jerusalem.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord shewed me four smiths.</span></li>
<li><span>And I said: What come these to do? and he spoke, saying:
These are the horns which have scattered Juda every man apart, and
none of them lifted up his head: and these are come to fray them,
to cast down the horns of the nations, that have lifted up the horn
upon the land of Juda to scatter it.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="2">Zechariah 2</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with
a measuring line in his hand.</span></li>
<li><span>And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To
measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and
how great the length thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and
another angel went out to meet him.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying:
Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the
multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst
thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round
about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the
Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith
the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon:</span></li>
<li><span>For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath
sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth
you, toucheth the apple of my eye:</span></li>
<li><span>For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be
a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord
of hosts sent me.</span></li>
<li><span>Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold
I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the
Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day,
and they 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 to
thee.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the
sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.</span></li>
<li><span>Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for
he is risen up out of his .holy habitation.</span></li>

<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="3">Zechariah 3</a></div>
<ol>
<li><span>And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing
before the angel of the Lord: and Satan stood on his right hand to
be his adversary.</span></li>
<li><span>And the Lord said to Satan: The Lord rebuke thee, O
Satan: and the Lord that chose Jerusalem rebuke thee: Is not this a
brand plucked out of the fire?</span></li>
<li><span>And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments: and he stood
before the face of the angel.</span></li>
<li><span>Who answered, and said to them that stood before him,
saying: Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said to him:
Behold I have taken away thy iniquity, and have clothed thee with
change of garments.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said: Put a clean mitre upon his head: and they
put a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and
the angel of the Lord stood.</span></li>
<li><span>And the angel of the Lord protested to Jesus,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my
ways, and Beep my charge, thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt
keep my courts, and I will give thee some of them that are now
present here to walk with thee.</span></li>
<li><span>Hear, O Jesus thou high priest, then and thy friends that
dwell before thee, for they are portending men: for behold I WILL
BRING MY SERVANT THE ORIENT.</span></li>
<li><span>For behold the stone that I have laid before Jesus: upon
one stone there are seven eyes: behold I will grave the graving
thereof, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will take away the iniquity
of that land in one day.</span></li>
<li><span>In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, every man shell
call his friend under the vine and under the fig tree.</span></li>

<ol>
<li><span>And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked
me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have
looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the
top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels
for the lights that were upon the top thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of
the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me,
saying: What are these things, my lord?</span></li>
<li><span>And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me:
Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my
lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the
word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by
might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.</span></li>
<li><span>Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou
shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and
shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:</span></li>
<li><span>The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this
house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the
Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.</span></li>
<li><span>For who hath despised little days? and they shall
rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel.
These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through
the whole earth.</span></li>
<li><span>And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive
trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left
side thereof?</span></li>
<li><span>And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two
olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the
funnels of gold?</span></li>
<li><span>And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these

<li><span>And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold
a volume flying.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a

thereof ten cubits.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth
over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is
there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be
judged by it.</span></li>
<li><span>I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it
shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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

<li><span>And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to

out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like

<li><span>And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold
four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the
mountains were mountains of brass.</span></li>
<li><span>In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second
chariot black horses.</span></li>
<li><span>And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth
chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.</span></li>
<li><span>And I answered, and said to the an- gel that spoke in me:
What are these, my lord?</span></li>
<li><span>And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the
four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord
of all the earth.</span></li>
<li><span>That in which were the black horses went forth into the
land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the
grisled went forth to the land of the south.</span></li>

go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go,

house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of
Babylon.</span></li>
<li><span>And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make
crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of
Josedec, the high priest.</span></li>
<li><span>And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord

<li><span>And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, in the fourth day of
the ninth month, which is Casleu.</span></li>
<li><span>When Sarasar, and Rogommelech, and the men that were with
him, sent to the house of God, to entreat the face of the
Lord:</span></li>
<li><span>To speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of
hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weep in the fifth month,
or must I sanctify myself as I have now done for many
years?</span></li>
<li><span>And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests,
saying: When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seventh
month for these seventy years: did you keep a fast unto
me?</span></li>
<li><span>And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for
yourselves, and drink for yourselves?</span></li>
<li><span>Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the hand
of the former prophets, when Jerusalem as yet was inhabited, and
was wealthy, both itself and the cities round about it, and there
were inhabitants towards the south, and in the plain?</span></li>
<li><span>And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge ye true
judgment, and shew ye mercy and compassion every man to his
brother.</span></li>
<li><span>And oppress not the widow, and the fatherless, and the
stranger, and the poor: and let not a man devise evil in his heart
against his brother.</span></li>
<li><span>But they would not hearken, and they turned away the
shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to
hear.</span></li>
<li><span>And they made their heart as the adamant stone, lest they
should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in
his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: so a great
indignation came from the Lord of hosts.</span></li>
<li><span>And it came to pass that as he spoke, and they heard not:
so shall they cry, and I will not hear, saith the Lord of
hosts.</span></li>
<li><span>And I dispersed them throughout all kingdoms, which they
know not: and the land was left desolate behind them, so that no
man passed through or returned: and they changed the delightful
land into a wilderness.</span></li>

<div class="chapter">

<li><span>And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for
Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I
been jealous for her.</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and
I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be
called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts,
The sanctified mountain.</span></li>
<li><span>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 through multitude of days.</span></li>
<li><span>And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and
girls, playing in the streets thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes
of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my
eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts : Behold I will save my
people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going
down of the sun.</span></li>
<li><span>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 justice.</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be
strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth
of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was
founded, that the temple might be built.</span></li>
<li><span>For before those days there was no hire for men, neither
was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came
in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let
all men go every one against his neighbour.</span></li>
<li><span>But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people
according to the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.</span></li>
<li><span>But there shall be the seed of peace: the vine shall
yield her fruit, and the earth 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.</span></li>
<li><span>And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among
the Gentiles, O house of Juda, and house of Israel: so will I save
you, and you shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be
strengthened.</span></li>
<li><span>For thus saith the Lord of hosts: As I purposed to
afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the
Lord,</span></li>
<li><span>And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in
these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear
not.</span></li>
<li><span>These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye
truth every one to his neighbour: judge ye truth and judgment of
peace in your gates.</span></li>
<li><span>And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against
his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things
that I hate, saith the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>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 Juda, joy, and
gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and
peace.</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come, and
dwell in many cities,</span></li>
<li><span>And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go,
and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of
hosts: I also will go.</span></li>
<li><span>And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek
the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the
Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>Thus saith the Lord of hosts : In those days, wherein ten
men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall
hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with
you: for we have heard that God is with you.</span></li>

<li><span>Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her

<li><span>Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be

devour every one the flesh of his neighbour.</span></li>

I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel.</span></li>

<li><span>For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who

heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall
eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs.</span></li>

<li><span>And even Juda shall fight against Jerusalem: and the
riches of all nations round about shall be gathered together, gold,
and silver, and garments in great abundance.</span></li>
<li><span>And the destruction of the horse, and of the mule, and of
the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts, that shall be in
those tents, shall be like this destruction.</span></li>
<li><span>And all they that shall be left of all nations that came
against Jerusalem, shall go up from year to year, to adore the
King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles.</span></li>
<li><span>And it shall come to pass, that he that shall not go up
of the families of the land to Jerusalem, to adore the King, the
Lord of hosts, there shall be no rain upon them.</span></li>
<li><span>And if the family of Egypt go not up nor come: neither
shall it be upon them, but there shall be destruction wherewith the
Lord will strike all nations that will not go up to keep the feast
of tabernacles.</span></li>
<li><span>This shall be the sin of Egypt, and this the sin of all
nations, that will not go up to keep the feast of
tabernacles.</span></li>
<li><span>In that day that which is upon the bridle of the horse
shall be holy to the Lord: and the caldrons in the house of the
Lord shall be as the phials before the altar.</span></li>
<li><span>And every caldron in Jerusalem and Juda shall be
sanctified to the Lord of hosts: and all that sacrifice shall come,
and take of them, and shall seethe in them: and the merchant shall
be no more in the house of the Lord of hosts in that
day.</span></li>
