Young's Literal Translation
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 ,
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo ,
the prophet, saying :
The
LORD
hath
been
sore
displeased
with
your fathers .
`Jehovah
was
wroth
against
your fathers --
wrath!
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.
And
thou hast
said
unto them, Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
turn back
unto Me, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts, And I turn back
unto you, said
Jehovah
of Hosts.
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
.
Ye shall
not be
as your fathers, To
whom the former prophets called
, saying :
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Turn back
I
pray
you,
From your evil ways and from your evil doings ,
And
they did not hearken
, Nor attend
to
Me --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Your fathers ,
where are they? and the prophets ,
do they live for
ever
?
Your fathers --
where `
are '
they? And the prophets --
to
the
age
do they live?
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 .
Only,
My words ,
and My statutes, That
I commanded My servants the prophets, Have
they not overtaken
your fathers ,
And they turn
back
and say:
As Jehovah
of Hosts designed
to do to
us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath
done
to
us ?'
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 ,
On
the twenty
and fourth
day of the eleventh month, (it
`
is '
the month of
Sebat, )
in the second year of Darius, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo ,
the prophet, saying :
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.
I have
seen
by night, and lo,
one
riding on
a red horse, and he is
standing
between
the myrtles
that `are'
in the shade,
and behind him `are'
horses, red
, bay,
and white.
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
.
And
I say
, `
What `
are '
these ,
my
lord
? '
And the messenger
who
is
speaking
with me saith
unto me, `
I --
I
do
shew thee what these `are'
. '
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
.
And the one
who
is
standing
between
the myrtles
doth
answer
and say
, `
These `
are '
they whom Jehovah
hath sent to walk up
and down
in
the land
. '
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.
And they answer
the messenger
of Jehovah
who
is
standing
between
the myrtles
, and say
, `
We have walked up
and down
in
the land
, and lo
, all the land
is
sitting
still, and at rest. '
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?
And
the messenger
of Jehovah
answereth
and saith
, `Jehovah
of Hosts !
till
when
dost
Thou not pity
Jerusalem ,
and the cities of Judah, that
Thou hast abhorred
these seventy
years? '
And the
LORD
answered
the angel
that
talked
with me with
good words and
comfortable words.
And Jehovah
answereth
the messenger,
who
is
speaking
with me ,
good words ,
comfortable words.
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
.
And
the messenger
who
is
speaking
with me ,
saith
unto me, `Call
, saying :
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts :
I have
been
zealous
for Jerusalem ,
and for Zion `
with '
great zeal
.
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
.
And `with'
great
wrath
I am wroth
against
the nations
who
are at ease ,
For I was a little wroth
, and they assisted
--
for
evil
.
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.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah:
I have
turned
to Jerusalem with mercies ,
My house is
built in it, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts, And a line is
stretched over
Jerusalem.
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.
Again
call
, saying :
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Again
do
my cities overflow
from
good,
And Jehovah
hath
again
comforted
Zion, And He
hath
fixed
again
on
Jerusalem. '
Then
lifted
I up mine eyes, and saw
, and behold
four horns.
And
I lift
up mine eyes, and look
, and lo,
four horns.
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.
And I say
unto the messenger
who
is
speaking
with me, `
What `are'
these? '
And he saith
unto
me, `
These `
are '
the horns that
have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. '
And the
LORD
shewed
me four carpenters
.
And Jehovah
doth
shew
me four artizans
.
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.
And
I say
, `
What `are'
these coming
in
to do? '
And He speaketh
, saying :
`
These `
are '
the horns that
have scattered Judah, so that no one
hath
lifted
up his head ,
and
these come in
to trouble
them, to cast down
the horns of the nations
who
are
lifting
up a
horn against
the land of Judah --
to scatter it. '
