Zechariah 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, 2 The
LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 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. 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. 5 Your fathers, where are they? and
the prophets, do they live for ever? 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. 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, 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked
with me with good words and comfortable words. 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. 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. 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. 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. 18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 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. 20 And
the LORD shewed me four carpenters. 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.
Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring
line in his hand. 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. 3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another
angel went out to meet him, 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: 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. 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. 7 Deliver thyself, O
Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 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. 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. 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of
Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 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. 12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion
in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 13 Be silent, O all flesh,
before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
Zechariah 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. 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 Now Joshua was
clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 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. 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. 6 And the angel
of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 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. 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. 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. 10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every
man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah 4
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is
wakened out of his sleep. 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: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of
the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4 So I answered and spake to
the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 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. 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. 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. 8 Moreover the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying, 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. 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. 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? 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? 13 And he
answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the
whole earth.
Zechariah 5
1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
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. 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. 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 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. 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. 7 And,
behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth
in the midst of the ephah. 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. 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. 10 Then
said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 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.
Zechariah 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. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot
black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot
grisled and bay horses. 4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked
with me, What are these, my lord? 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 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. 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. 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. 9 And the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying, 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; 11 Then take silver
and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest; 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: 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. 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. 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.
Zechariah 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;
2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their
men, to pray before the LORD, 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? 4 Then came
the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 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? 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves,
and drink for yourselves? 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? 8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 9 Thus speaketh
the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions
every man to his brother: 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. 11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and
stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 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. 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: 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.
Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 2 Thus saith the LORD
of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her
with great fury. 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. 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. 5 And the streets of the
city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. 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. 7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the
east country, and from the west country; 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. 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. 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. 11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people
as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 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. 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. 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:
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the
house of Judah: fear ye not. 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: 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. 18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, 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. 20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that
there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 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. 22 Yea, many
people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and
to pray before the LORD. 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.
Zechariah 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. 2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon,
though it be very wise. 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. 4 Behold, the
LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be
devoured with fire. 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. 6 And a
bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
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. 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 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. 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. 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. 12 Turn you
to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will
render double unto thee; 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Zechariah 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 8 I will hiss
for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as
they have increased. 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 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. 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. 12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 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. 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. 4 Thus saith the LORD my God;
Feed the flock of the slaughter; 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. 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. 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. 8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them,
and their soul also abhorred me. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. 14 Then
I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood
between Judah and Israel. 15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd. 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. 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.
Zechariah 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 9 And it shall come
to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem. 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. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in
Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 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; 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the
family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 14 All the families that remain,
every family apart, and their wives apart.
Zechariah 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. 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. 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. 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: 5 But he shall
say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from
my youth. 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.
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. 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. 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.
Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the
midst of thee. 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. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against
those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 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. 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. 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the
light shall not be clear, nor dark: 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. 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. 9 And the
LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and
his name one. 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. 11 And men shall dwell in it,
and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely
inhabited. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all
nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 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. 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.
