,this e,book was produced by ,david ,widger with the help of ,derek ,andrew's text from ,january #aiib and the work of ,bryan ,taylor in ,november #bjjb4 ,book #ch ,zechariah #ch3jja3jja ,in the eighth month1 in the second year of ,darius1 came the word of the ,,lord unto ,zechariah1 the son of ,berechiah1 the son of ,iddo the prophet1 saying1 #ch3jja3jjb ,the ,,lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers4 #ch3jja3jjc ,therefore say thou unto them1 ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,turn ye unto me1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 and ,i will turn unto you1 saith the ,,lord of hosts4 #ch3jja3jjd ,be ye not as your fathers1 unto whom the former prophets have cried1 saying1 ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,turn ye now from your evil ways1 and from your evil doings3 but they did not hear1 nor hearken unto me1 saith the ,,lord4 #ch3jja3jje ,your fathers1 where are they8 and the prophets1 do they live for ever8 #ch3jja3jjf ,but my words and my statutes1 which ,i commanded my servants the prophets1 did they not take hold of your fathers8 and they returned and said1 ,like as the ,,lord of hosts thought to do unto us1 according to our ways1 and according to our doings1 so hath he dealt with us4 #ch3jja3jjg ,upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month1 which is the month ,sebat1 in the second year of ,darius1 came the word of the ,,lord unto ,zechariah1 the son of ,berechiah1 the son of ,iddo the prophet1 saying1 #ch3jja3jjh ,i saw by night1 and behold a man riding upon a red horse1 and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom2 and behind him were there red horses1 speckled1 and white4 #ch3jja3jji ,then said ,i1 ,o my lord1 what are these8 ,and the angel that talked with me said unto me1 ,i will shew thee what these be4 #ch3jja3jaj ,and the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said1 ,these are they whom the ,,lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth4 #ch3jja3jaa ,and they answered the angel of the ,,lord that stood among the myrtle trees1 and said1 ,we have walked to and fro through the earth1 and1 behold1 all the earth sitteth still1 and is at rest4 #ch3jja3jab ,then the angel of the ,,lord answered and said1 ,o ,,lord of hosts1 how long wilt thou not have mercy on ,jerusalem and on the cities of ,judah1 against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years8 #ch3jja3jac ,and the ,,lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words4 #ch3jja3jad ,so the angel that communed with me said unto me1 ,cry thou1 saying1 ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,i am jealous for ,jerusalem and for ,zion with a great jealousy4 #ch3jja3jae ,and ,i am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease3 for ,i was but a little displeased1 and they helped forward the affliction4 #ch3jja3jaf ,therefore thus saith the ,,lord2 ,i am returned to ,jerusalem with mercies3 my house shall be built in it1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 and a line shall be stretched forth upon ,jerusalem4 #ch3jja3jag ,cry yet1 saying1 ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,my cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad2 and the ,,lord shall yet comfort ,zion1 and shall yet choose ,jerusalem4 #ch3jja3jah ,then lifted ,i up mine eyes1 and saw1 and behold four horns4 #ch3jja3jai ,and ,i said unto the angel that talked with me1 ,what be these8 ,and he answered me1 ,these are the horns which have scattered ,judah1 ,israel1 and ,jerusalem4 #ch3jja3jbj ,and the ,,lord shewed me four carpenters4 #ch3jja3jba ,then said ,i1 ,what come these to do8 ,and he spake1 saying1 ,these are the horns which have scattered ,judah1 so that no man did lift up his head3 but these are come to fray them1 to cast out the horns of the ,gentiles1 which lifted up their horn over the land of ,judah to scatter it4 #ch3jjb3jja ,i lifted up mine eyes again1 and looked1 and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand4 #ch3jjb3jjb ,then said ,i1 ,whither goest thou8 ,and he said unto me1 ,to measure ,jerusalem1 to see what is the breadth thereof1 and what is the length thereof4 #ch3jjb3jjc ,and1 behold1 the angel that talked with me went forth1 and another angel went out to meet him1 #ch3jjb3jjd ,and said unto him1 ,run1 speak to this young man1 saying1 ,jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein3 #ch3jjb3jje ,for ,i1 saith the ,,lord1 will be unto her a wall of fire round about1 and will be the glory in the midst of her4 #ch3jjb3jjf ,ho1 ho1 come forth1 and flee from the land of the north1 saith the ,,lord3 for ,i have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven1 saith the ,,lord4 #ch3jjb3jjg ,deliver thyself1 ,o ,zion1 that dwellest with the daughter of ,babylon4 #ch3jjb3jjh ,for thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,after the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you3 for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye4 #ch3jjb3jji ,for1 behold1 ,i will shake mine hand upon them1 and they shall be a spoil to their servants3 and ye shall know that the ,,lord of hosts hath sent me4 #ch3jjb3jaj ,sing and rejoice1 ,o daughter of ,zion3 for1 lo1 ,i come1 and ,i will dwell in the midst of thee1 saith the ,,lord4 #ch3jjb3jaa ,and many nations shall be joined to the ,,lord in that day1 and shall be my people3 and ,i will dwell in the midst of thee1 and thou shalt know that the ,,lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee4 #ch3jjb3jab ,and the ,,lord shall inherit ,judah his portion in the holy land1 and shall choose ,jerusalem again4 #ch3jjb3jac ,be silent1 ,o all flesh1 before the ,,lord3 for he is raised up out of his holy habitation4 #ch3jjc3jja ,and he shewed me ,joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the ,,lord1 and ,satan standing at his right hand to resist him4 #ch3jjc3jjb ,and the ,,lord said unto ,satan1 ,the ,,lord rebuke thee1 ,o ,satan2 even the ,,lord that hath chosen ,jerusalem rebuke thee3 is not this a brand plucked out of the fire8 #ch3jjc3jjc ,now ,joshua was clothed with filthy garments1 and stood before the angel4 #ch3jjc3jjd ,and he answered and spake unto those that stood before him1 saying1 ,take away the filthy garments from him4 ,and unto him he said1 ,behold1 ,i have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee1 and ,i will clothe thee with change of raiment4 #ch3jjc3jje ,and ,i said1 ,let them set a fair mitre upon his head4 ,so they set a fair mitre upon his head1 and clothed him with garments4 ,and the angel of the ,,lord stood by4 #ch3jjc3jjf ,and the angel of the ,,lord protested unto ,joshua1 saying1 #ch3jjc3jjg ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,if thou wilt walk in my ways1 and if thou wilt keep my charge1 then thou shalt also judge my house1 and shalt also keep my courts1 and ,i will give thee places to walk among these that stand by4 #ch3jjc3jjh ,hear now1 ,o ,joshua the high priest1 thou1 and thy fellows that sit before thee3 for they are men wondered at3 for1 behold1 ,i will bring forth my servant the ,,branch4 #ch3jjc3jji ,for behold the stone that ,i have laid before ,joshua2 upon one stone shall be seven eyes3 behold1 ,i will engrave the graving thereof1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 and ,i will remove the iniquity of that land in one day4 #ch3jjc3jaj ,in that day1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree4 #ch3jjd3jja ,and the angel that talked with me came again1 and waked me1 as a man that is wakened out of his sleep4 #ch3jjd3jjb ,and said unto me1 ,what seest thou8 ,and ,i said1 ,i have looked1 and behold a candlestick all of gold1 with a bowl upon the top of it1 and his seven lamps thereon1 and seven pipes to the seven lamps1 which are upon the top thereof3 #ch3jjd3jjc ,and two olive trees by it1 one upon the right side of the bowl1 and the other upon the left side thereof4 #ch3jjd3jjd ,so ,i answered and spake to the angel that talked with me1 saying1 ,what are these1 my lord8 #ch3jjd3jje ,then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me1 ,knowest thou not what these be8 ,and ,i said1 ,no1 my lord4 #ch3jjd3jjf ,then he answered and spake unto me1 saying1 ,this is the word of the ,,lord unto ,zerubbabel1 saying1 ,not by might1 nor by power1 but by my spirit1 saith the ,,lord of hosts4 #ch3jjd3jjg ,who art thou1 ,o great mountain8 before ,zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain3 and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings1 crying1 ,grace1 grace unto it4 #ch3jjd3jjh ,moreover the word of the ,,lord came unto me1 saying1 #ch3jjd3jji ,the hands of ,zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house2 his hands shall also finish it2 and thou shalt know that the ,,lord of hosts hath sent me unto you4 #ch3jjd3jaj ,for who hath despised the day of small things8 for they shall rejoice1 and shall see the plummet in the hand of ,zerubbabel with those seven2 they are the eyes of the ,,lord1 which run to and fro through the whole earth4 #ch3jjd3jaa ,then answered ,i1 and said unto him1 ,what are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof8 #ch3jjd3jab ,and ,i answered again1 and said unto him1 ,what be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves8 #ch3jjd3jac ,and he answered me and said1 ,knowest thou not what these be8 ,and ,i said1 ,no1 my lord4 #ch3jjd3jad ,then said he1 ,these are the two anointed ones1 that stand by the ,,lord of the whole earth4 #ch3jje3jja ,then ,i turned1 and lifted up mine eyes1 and looked1 and behold a flying roll4 #ch3jje3jjb ,and he said unto me1 ,what seest thou8 ,and ,i answered1 ,i see a flying roll2 the length thereof is twenty cubits1 and the breadth thereof ten cubits4 #ch3jje3jjc ,then said he unto me1 ,this is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth3 for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it2 and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it4 #ch3jje3jjd ,i will bring it forth1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 and it shall enter into the house of the thief1 and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name3 and it shall remain in the midst of his house1 and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof4 #ch3jje3jje ,then the angel that talked with me went forth1 and said unto me1 ,lift up now thine eyes1 and see what is this that goeth forth4 #ch3jje3jjf ,and ,i said1 ,what is it8 ,and he said1 ,this is an ephah that goeth forth4 ,he said moreover1 ,this is their resemblance through all the earth4 #ch3jje3jjg ,and1 behold1 there was lifted up a talent of lead3 and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah4 #ch3jje3jjh ,and he said1 ,this is wickedness4 ,and he cast it into the midst of the ephah2 and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof4 #ch3jje3jji ,then lifted ,i up mine eyes1 and looked1 and1 behold1 there came out two women1 and the wind was in their wings2 for they had wings like the wings of a stork3 and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven4 #ch3jje3jaj ,then said ,i to the angel that talked with me1 ,whither do these bear the ephah8 #ch3jje3jaa ,and he said unto me1 ,to build it an house in the land of ,shinar3 and it shall be established1 and set there upon her own base4 #ch3jjf3jja ,and ,i turned1 and lifted up mine eyes1 and looked1 and1 behold1 there came four chariots out from between two mountains2 and the mountains were mountains of brass4 #ch3jjf3jjb ,in the first chariot were red horses2 and in the second chariot black horses2 #ch3jjf3jjc ,and in the third chariot white horses2 and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses4 #ch3jjf3jjd ,then ,i answered and said unto the angel that talked with me1 ,what are these1 my lord8 #ch3jjf3jje ,and the angel answered and said unto me1 ,these are the four spirits of the heavens1 which go forth from standing before the ,,lord of all the earth4 #ch3jjf3jjf ,the black horses which are therein go forth into the north country2 and the white go forth after them2 and the grisled go forth toward the south country4 #ch3jjf3jjg ,and the bay went forth1 and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth3 and he said1 ,get you hence1 walk to and fro through the earth4 ,so they walked to and fro through the earth4 #ch3jjf3jjh ,then cried he upon me1 and spake unto me1 saying1 ,behold1 these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country4 #ch3jjf3jji ,and the word of the ,,lord came unto me1 saying1 #ch3jjf3jaj ,take of them of the captivity1 even of ,heldai1 of ,tobijah1 and of ,jedaiah1 which are come from ,babylon1 and come thou the same day1 and go into the house of ,josiah the son of ,zephaniah2 #ch3jjf3jaa ,then take silver and gold1 and make crowns1 and set them upon the head of ,joshua the son of ,josedech1 the high priest2 #ch3jjf3jab ,and speak unto him1 saying1 ,thus speaketh the ,,lord of hosts1 saying1 ,behold the man whose name is ,the ,,branch2 and he shall grow up out of his place1 and he shall build the temple of the ,,lord3 #ch3jjf3jac ,even he shall build the temple of the ,,lord2 and he shall bear the glory1 and shall sit and rule upon his throne2 and he shall be a priest upon his throne3 and the counsel of peace shall be between them both4 #ch3jjf3jad ,and the crowns shall be to ,helem1 and to ,tobijah1 and to ,jedaiah1 and to ,hen the son of ,zephaniah1 for a memorial in the temple of the ,,lord4 #ch3jjf3jae ,and they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the ,,lord1 and ye shall know that the ,,lord of hosts hath sent me unto you4 ,and this shall come to pass1 if ye will diligently obey the voice of the ,,lord your ,god4 #ch3jjg3jja ,and it came to pass in the fourth year of king ,darius1 that the word of the ,,lord came unto ,zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month1 even in ,chisleu2 #ch3jjg3jjb ,when they had sent unto the house of ,god ,sherezer and ,regemmelech1 and their men1 to pray before the ,,lord1 #ch3jjg3jjc ,and to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the ,,lord of hosts1 and to the prophets1 saying1 ,should ,i weep in the fifth month1 separating myself1 as ,i have done these so many years8 #ch3jjg3jjd ,then came the word of the ,,lord of hosts unto me1 saying1 #ch3jjg3jje ,speak unto all the people of the land1 and to the priests1 saying1 ,when ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month1 even those seventy years1 did ye at all fast unto me1 even to me8 #ch3jjg3jjf ,and when ye did eat1 and when ye did drink1 did not ye eat for yourselves1 and drink for yourselves8 #ch3jjg3jjg ,should ye not hear the words which the ,,lord hath cried by the former prophets1 when ,jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity1 and the cities thereof round about her1 when men inhabited the south and the plain8 #ch3jjg3jjh ,and the word of the ,,lord came unto ,zechariah1 saying1 #ch3jjg3jji ,thus speaketh the ,,lord of hosts1 saying1 ,execute true judgment1 and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother3 #ch3jjg3jaj ,and oppress not the widow1 nor the fatherless1 the stranger1 nor the poor2 and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart4 #ch3jjg3jaa ,but they refused to hearken1 and pulled away the shoulder1 and stopped their ears1 that they should not hear4 #ch3jjg3jab ,yea1 they made their hearts as an adamant stone1 lest they should hear the law1 and the words which the ,,lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets3 therefore came a great wrath from the ,,lord of hosts4 #ch3jjg3jac ,therefore it is come to pass1 that as he cried1 and they would not hear2 so they cried1 and ,i would not hear1 saith the ,,lord of hosts3 #ch3jjg3jad ,but ,i scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not4 ,thus the land was desolate after them1 that no man passed through nor returned3 for they laid the pleasant land desolate4 #ch3jjh3jja ,again the word of the ,,lord of hosts came to me1 saying1 #ch3jjh3jjb ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,i was jealous for ,zion with great jealousy1 and ,i was jealous for her with great fury4 #ch3jjh3jjc ,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,i am returned unto ,zion1 and will dwell in the midst of ,jerusalem3 and ,jerusalem shall be called a city of truth2 and the mountain of the ,,lord of hosts the holy mountain4 #ch3jjh3jjd ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,there shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of ,jerusalem1 and every man with his staff in his hand for very age4 #ch3jjh3jje ,and the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof4 #ch3jjh3jjf ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,if it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days1 should it also be marvellous in mine eyes8 saith the ,,lord of hosts4 #ch3jjh3jjg ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,behold1 ,i will save my people from the east country1 and from the west country2 #ch3jjh3jjh ,and ,i will bring them1 and they shall dwell in the midst of ,jerusalem3 and they shall be my people1 and ,i will be their ,god1 in truth and in righteousness4 #ch3jjh3jji ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,let your hands be strong1 ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets1 which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the ,,lord of hosts was laid1 that the temple might be built4 #ch3jjh3jaj ,for before these days there was no hire for man1 nor any hire for beast2 neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction3 for ,i set all men every one against his neighbour4 #ch3jjh3jaa ,but now ,i will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days1 saith the ,,lord of hosts4 #ch3jjh3jab ,for the seed shall be prosperous2 the vine shall give her fruit1 and the ground shall give her increase1 and the heavens shall give their dew2 and ,i will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things4 #ch3jjh3jac ,and it shall come to pass1 that as ye were a curse among the heathen1 ,o house of ,judah1 and house of ,israel2 so will ,i save you1 and ye shall be a blessing3 fear not1 but let your hands be strong4 #ch3jjh3jad ,for thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,as ,i thought to punish you1 when your fathers provoked me to wrath1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 and ,i repented not3 #ch3jjh3jae ,so again have ,i thought in these days to do well unto ,jerusalem and to the house of ,judah3 fear ye not4 #ch3jjh3jaf ,these are the things that ye shall do2 ,speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour2 execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates3 #ch3jjh3jag ,and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour2 and love no false oath3 for all these are things that ,i hate1 saith the ,,lord4 #ch3jjh3jah ,and the word of the ,,lord of hosts came unto me1 saying1 #ch3jjh3jai ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,the fast of the fourth month1 and the fast of the fifth1 and the fast of the seventh1 and the fast of the tenth1 shall be to the house of ,judah joy and gladness1 and cheerful feasts2 therefore love the truth and peace4 #ch3jjh3jbj ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,it shall yet come to pass1 that there shall come people1 and the inhabitants of many cities3 #ch3jjh3jba ,and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another1 saying1 ,let us go speedily to pray before the ,,lord1 and to seek the ,,lord of hosts3 ,i will go also4 #ch3jjh3jbb ,yea1 many people and strong nations shall come to seek the ,,lord of hosts in ,jerusalem1 and to pray before the ,,lord4 #ch3jjh3jbc ,thus saith the ,,lord of hosts2 ,in those days it shall come to pass1 that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations1 even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a ,jew1 saying1 ,we will go with you3 for we have heard that ,god is with you4 #ch3jji3jja ,the burden of the word of the ,,lord in the land of ,hadrach1 and ,damascus shall be the rest thereof3 when the eyes of man1 as of all the tribes of ,israel1 shall be toward the ,,lord4 #ch3jji3jjb ,and ,hamath also shall border thereby2 ,tyrus1 and ,zidon1 though it be very wise4 #ch3jji3jjc ,and ,tyrus did build herself a strong hold1 and heaped up silver as the dust1 and fine gold as the mire of the streets4 #ch3jji3jjd ,behold1 the ,,lord will cast her out1 and he will smite her power in the sea2 and she shall be devoured with fire4 #ch3jji3jje ,ashkelon shall see it1 and fear2 ,gaza also shall see it1 and be very sorrowful1 and ,ekron2 for her expectation shall be ashamed2 and the king shall perish from ,gaza1 and ,ashkelon shall not be inhabited4 #ch3jji3jjf ,and a bastard shall dwell in ,ashdod1 and ,i will cut off the pride of the ,philistines4 #ch3jji3jjg ,and ,i will take away his blood out of his mouth1 and his abominations from between his teeth3 but he that remaineth1 even he1 shall be for our ,god1 and he shall be as a governor in ,judah1 and ,ekron as a ,jebusite4 #ch3jji3jjh ,and ,i will encamp about mine house because of the army1 because of him that passeth by1 and because of him that returneth3 and no oppressor shall pass through them any more3 for now have ,i seen with mine eyes4 #ch3jji3jji ,rejoice greatly1 ,o daughter of ,zion2 shout1 ,o daughter of ,jerusalem3 behold1 thy ,king cometh unto thee3 he is just1 and having salvation2 lowly1 and riding upon an ass1 and upon a colt the foal of an ass4 #ch3jji3jaj ,and ,i will cut off the chariot from ,ephraim1 and the horse from ,jerusalem1 and the battle bow shall be cut off3 and he shall speak peace unto the heathen3 and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea1 and from the river even to the ends of the earth4 #ch3jji3jaa ,as for thee also1 by the blood of thy covenant ,i have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water4 #ch3jji3jab ,turn you to the strong hold1 ye prisoners of hope3 even to day do ,i declare that ,i will render double unto thee2 #ch3jji3jac ,when ,i have bent ,judah for me1 filled the bow with ,ephraim1 and raised up thy sons1 ,o ,zion1 against thy sons1 ,o ,greece1 and made thee as the sword of a mighty man4 #ch3jji3jad ,and the ,,lord shall be seen over them1 and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning3 and the ,,lord ,god shall blow the trumpet1 and shall go with whirlwinds of the south4 #ch3jji3jae ,the ,,lord of hosts shall defend them2 and they shall devour1 and subdue with sling stones2 and they shall drink1 and make a noise as through wine2 and they shall be filled like bowls1 and as the corners of the altar4 #ch3jji3jaf ,and the ,,lord their ,god shall save them in that day as the flock of his people3 for they shall be as the stones of a crown1 lifted up as an ensign upon his land4 #ch3jji3jag ,for how great is his goodness1 and how great is his beauty6 corn shall make the young men cheerful1 and new wine the maids4 #ch3jaj3jja ,ask ye of the ,,lord rain in the time of the latter rain2 so the ,,lord shall make bright clouds1 and give them showers of rain1 to every one grass in the field4 #ch3jaj3jjb ,for the idols have spoken vanity1 and the diviners have seen a lie1 and have told false dreams2 they comfort in vain3 therefore they went their way as a flock1 they were troubled1 because there was no shepherd4 #ch3jaj3jjc ,mine anger was kindled against the shepherds1 and ,i punished the goats3 for the ,,lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of ,judah1 and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle4 #ch3jaj3jjd ,out of him came forth the corner1 out of him the nail1 out of him the battle bow1 out of him every oppressor together4 #ch3jaj3jje ,and they shall be as mighty men1 which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle3 and they shall fight1 because the ,,lord is with them1 and the riders on horses shall be confounded4 #ch3jaj3jjf ,and ,i will strengthen the house of ,judah1 and ,i will save the house of ,joseph1 and ,i will bring them again to place them2 for ,i have mercy upon them3 and they shall be as though ,i had not cast them off3 for ,i am the ,,lord their ,god1 and will hear them4 #ch3jaj3jjg ,and they of ,ephraim shall be like a mighty man1 and their heart shall rejoice as through wine3 yea1 their children shall see it1 and be glad2 their heart shall rejoice in the ,,lord4 #ch3jaj3jjh ,i will hiss for them1 and gather them2 for ,i have redeemed them3 and they shall increase as they have increased4 #ch3jaj3jji ,and ,i will sow them among the people3 and they shall remember me in far countries2 and they shall live with their children1 and turn again4 #ch3jaj3jaj ,i will bring them again also out of the land of ,egypt1 and gather them out of ,assyria2 and ,i will bring them into the land of ,gilead and ,lebanon2 and place shall not be found for them4 #ch3jaj3jaa ,and he shall pass through the sea with affliction1 and shall smite the waves in the sea1 and all the deeps of the river shall dry up3 and the pride of ,assyria shall be brought down1 and the sceptre of ,egypt shall depart away4 #ch3jaj3jab ,and ,i will strengthen them in the ,,lord2 and they shall walk up and down in his name1 saith the ,,lord4 #ch3jaa3jja ,open thy doors1 ,o ,lebanon1 that the fire may devour thy cedars4 #ch3jaa3jjb ,howl1 fir tree2 for the cedar is fallen2 because the mighty are spoiled3 howl1 ,o ye oaks of ,bashan2 for the forest of the vintage is come down4 #ch3jaa3jjc ,there is a voice of the howling of the shepherds2 for their glory is spoiled3 a voice of the roaring of young lions2 for the pride of ,jordan is spoiled4 #ch3jaa3jjd ,thus saith the ,,lord my ,god2 ,feed the flock of the slaughter2 #ch3jaa3jje ,whose possessors slay them1 and hold themselves not guilty3 and they that sell them say1 ,blessed be the ,,lord2 for ,i am rich3 and their own shepherds pity them not4 #ch3jaa3jjf ,for ,i will no more pity the inhabitants of the land1 saith the ,,lord3 but1 lo1 ,i will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand1 and into the hand of his king3 and they shall smite the land1 and out of their hand ,i will not deliver them4 #ch3jaa3jjg ,and ,i will feed the flock of slaughter1 even you1 ,o poor of the flock4 ,and ,i took unto me two staves2 the one ,i called ,beauty1 and the other ,i called ,bands2 and ,i fed the flock4 #ch3jaa3jjh ,three shepherds also ,i cut off in one month2 and my soul lothed them1 and their soul also abhorred me4 #ch3jaa3jji ,then said ,i1 ,i will not feed you3 that that dieth1 let it die2 and that that is to be cut off1 let it be cut off2 and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another4 #ch3jaa3jaj ,and ,i took my staff1 even ,beauty1 and cut it asunder1 that ,i might break my covenant which ,i had made with all the people4 #ch3jaa3jaa ,and it was broken in that day3 and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the ,,lord4 #ch3jaa3jab ,and ,i said unto them1 ,if ye think good1 give me my price2 and if not1 forbear4 ,so they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver4 #ch3jaa3jac ,and the ,,lord said unto me1 ,cast it unto the potter3 a goodly price that ,i was prised at of them4 ,and ,i took the thirty pieces of silver1 and cast them to the potter in the house of the ,,lord4 #ch3jaa3jad ,then ,i cut asunder mine other staff1 even ,bands1 that ,i might break the brotherhood between ,judah and ,israel4 #ch3jaa3jae ,and the ,,lord said unto me1 ,take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd4 #ch3jaa3jaf ,for1 lo1 ,i will raise up a shepherd in the land1 which shall not visit those that be cut off1 neither shall seek the young one1 nor heal that that is broken1 nor feed that that standeth still3 but he shall eat the flesh of the fat1 and tear their claws in pieces4 #ch3jaa3jag ,woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock6 the sword shall be upon his arm1 and upon his right eye3 his arm shall be clean dried up1 and his right eye shall be utterly darkened4 #ch3jab3jja ,the burden of the word of the ,,lord for ,israel1 saith the ,,lord1 which stretcheth forth the heavens1 and layeth the foundation of the earth1 and formeth the spirit of man within him4 #ch3jab3jjb ,behold1 ,i will make ,jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about1 when they shall be in the siege both against ,judah and against ,jerusalem4 #ch3jab3jjc ,and in that day will ,i make ,jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people3 all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces1 though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it4 #ch3jab3jjd ,in that day1 saith the ,,lord1 ,i will smite every horse with astonishment1 and his rider with madness3 and ,i will open mine eyes upon the house of ,judah1 and will smite every horse of the people with blindness4 #ch3jab3jje ,and the governors of ,judah shall say in their heart1 ,the inhabitants of ,jerusalem shall be my strength in the ,,lord of hosts their ,god4 #ch3jab3jjf ,in that day will ,i make the governors of ,judah like an hearth of fire among the wood1 and like a torch of fire in a sheaf2 and they shall devour all the people round about1 on the right hand and on the left3 and ,jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place1 even in ,jerusalem4 #ch3jab3jjg ,the ,,lord also shall save the tents of ,judah first1 that the glory of the house of ,david and the glory of the inhabitants of ,jerusalem do not magnify themselves against ,judah4 #ch3jab3jjh ,in that day shall the ,,lord defend the inhabitants of ,jerusalem2 and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as ,david2 and the house of ,david shall be as ,god1 as the angel of the ,,lord before them4 #ch3jab3jji ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 that ,i will seek to destroy all the nations that come against ,jerusalem4 #ch3jab3jaj ,and ,i will pour upon the house of ,david1 and upon the inhabitants of ,jerusalem1 the spirit of grace and of supplications3 and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced1 and they shall mourn for him1 as one mourneth for his only son1 and shall be in bitterness for him1 as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn4 #ch3jab3jaa ,in that day shall there be a great mourning in ,jerusalem1 as the mourning of ,hadadrimmon in the valley of ,megiddon4 #ch3jab3jab ,and the land shall mourn1 every family apart2 the family of the house of ,david apart1 and their wives apart2 the family of the house of ,nathan apart1 and their wives apart2 #ch3jab3jac ,the family of the house of ,levi apart1 and their wives apart2 the family of ,shimei apart1 and their wives apart2 #ch3jab3jad ,all the families that remain1 every family apart1 and their wives apart4 #ch3jac3jja ,in that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of ,david and to the inhabitants of ,jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness4 #ch3jac3jjb ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 saith the ,,lord of hosts1 that ,i will cut off the names of the idols out of the land1 and they shall no more be remembered3 and also ,i will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land4 #ch3jac3jjc ,and it shall come to pass1 that when any shall yet prophesy1 then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him1 ,thou shalt not live2 for thou speakest lies in the name of the ,,lord3 and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth4 #ch3jac3jjd ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision1 when he hath prophesied2 neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive3 #ch3jac3jje ,but he shall say1 ,i am no prophet1 ,i am an husbandman2 for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth4 #ch3jac3jjf ,and one shall say unto him1 ,what are these wounds in thine hands8 ,then he shall answer1 ,those with which ,i was wounded in the house of my friends4 #ch3jac3jjg ,awake1 ,o sword1 against my shepherd1 and against the man that is my fellow1 saith the ,,lord of hosts3 smite the shepherd1 and the sheep shall be scattered3 and ,i will turn mine hand upon the little ones4 #ch3jac3jjh ,and it shall come to pass1 that in all the land1 saith the ,,lord1 two parts therein shall be cut off and die2 but the third shall be left therein4 #ch3jac3jji ,and ,i will bring the third part through the fire1 and will refine them as silver is refined1 and will try them as gold is tried3 they shall call on my name1 and ,i will hear them3 ,i will say1 ,it is my people3 and they shall say1 ,the ,,lord is my ,god4 #ch3jad3jja ,behold1 the day of the ,,lord cometh1 and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee4 #ch3jad3jjb ,for ,i will gather all nations against ,jerusalem to battle2 and the city shall be taken1 and the houses rifled1 and the women ravished2 and half of the city shall go forth into captivity1 and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city4 #ch3jad3jjc ,then shall the ,,lord go forth1 and fight against those nations1 as when he fought in the day of battle4 #ch3jad3jjd ,and his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of ,olives1 which is before ,jerusalem on the east1 and the mount of ,olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west1 and there shall be a very great valley2 and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north1 and half of it toward the south4 #ch3jad3jje ,and ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains2 for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto ,azal3 yea1 ye shall flee1 like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of ,uzziah king of ,judah3 and the ,,lord my ,god shall come1 and all the saints with thee4 #ch3jad3jjf ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 that the light shall not be clear1 nor dark3 #ch3jad3jjg ,but it shall be one day which shall be known to the ,,lord1 not day1 nor night3 but it shall come to pass1 that at evening time it shall be light4 #ch3jad3jjh ,and it shall be in that day1 that living waters shall go out from ,jerusalem2 half of them toward the former sea1 and half of them toward the hinder sea3 in summer and in winter shall it be4 #ch3jad3jji ,and the ,,lord shall be king over all the earth3 in that day shall there be one ,,lord1 and his name one4 #ch3jad3jaj ,all the land shall be turned as a plain from ,geba to ,rimmon south of ,jerusalem3 and it shall be lifted up1 and inhabited in her place1 from ,benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate1 unto the corner gate1 and from the tower of ,hananeel unto the king's winepresses4 #ch3jad3jaa ,and men shall dwell in it1 and there shall be no more utter destruction2 but ,jerusalem shall be safely inhabited4 #ch3jad3jab ,and this shall be the plague wherewith the ,,lord will smite all the people that have fought against ,jerusalem2 ,their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet1 and their eyes shall consume away in their holes1 and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth4 #ch3jad3jac ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 that a great tumult from the ,,lord shall be among them2 and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour1 and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour4 #ch3jad3jad ,and ,judah also shall fight at ,jerusalem2 and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together1 gold1 and silver1 and apparel1 in great abundance4 #ch3jad3jae ,and so shall be the plague of the horse1 of the mule1 of the camel1 and of the ass1 and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents1 as this plague4 #ch3jad3jaf ,and it shall come to pass1 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 ,king1 the ,,lord of hosts1 and to keep the feast of tabernacles4 #ch3jad3jag ,and it shall be1 that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto ,jerusalem to worship the ,king1 the ,,lord of hosts1 even upon them shall be no rain4 #ch3jad3jah ,and if the family of ,egypt go not up1 and come not1 that have no rain2 there shall be the plague1 wherewith the ,,lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles4 #ch3jad3jai ,this shall be the punishment of ,egypt1 and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles4 #ch3jad3jbj ,in that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses1 ,,holiness ,,unto ,,the ,,lord2 and the pots in the ,,lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar4 #ch3jad3jba ,yea1 every pot in ,jerusalem and in ,judah shall be holiness unto the ,,lord of hosts3 and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them1 and seethe therein3 and in that day there shall be no more the ,canaanite in the house of the ,,lord of hosts4
