Jubilee2000 - Zechariah

Chapter 1

1:1  In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

1:2  The LORD has been sore displeased with your fathers.

1:3  Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Turn unto me, said the LORD of the hosts, and I will turn unto you, said the LORD of the hosts.

1:4  Do not be as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Turn now from your evil ways and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, said the LORD.

1:5  Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?

1:6  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? Therefore they returned [from captivity] and said, Like as the LORD of the hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us.

1:7  Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which [is] the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

1:8  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 [there were] red horses, speckled, and white.

1:9  Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee who these [are].

1:10  And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These [are those] whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

1:11  And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees and said, We have walked to and fro through the land, and, behold, all the earth sits still and is at rest.

1:12  Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of the hosts, when wilt thou have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?

1:13  And the LORD answered good words unto the angel that talked with me, words of consolation.

1:14  So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of the hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

1:15  And I am very sore displeased with the Gentiles [that are] at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

1:16  Therefore thus hath the LORD said, I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in her, saith the LORD of the hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

1:17  Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of the hosts, My cities through abundance of good shall yet be widened; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

1:18  Then I lifted up my eyes and saw and behold four horns.

1:19  And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these? And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

1:20  And the LORD showed me four carpenters.

1:21  Then I said, What [do] these come to do? And he spoke, saying, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no one lifted up his head, but these are come to cause them to tremble, to cut down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.:

Chapter 2

2:1  I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2:2  Then I said, Where goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth and what [is] its length.

2:3  And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him

2:4  and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and beasts in the midst of her:

2:5  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.

2:6  Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD, for I have spread you abroad by the four winds of the heavens, saith the LORD.

2:7  O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon, thou must escape.

2:8  For thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; After the glory he shall send me unto the Gentiles which spoiled you, for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.

2:9  For, behold, I raise my hand regarding them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants; and ye shall know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me.

2:10  Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, said the LORD.

2:11  And many Gentiles shall join themselves unto the LORD in that day and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and then thou shalt know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto thee.

2:12  And the LORD shall possess Judah his portion in the holy land and shall still choose Jerusalem.

2:13  Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD, for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.:

Chapter 3

3:1  And he showed me Joshua the high priest, standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

3:2  And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD reprehend thee, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem reprehend thee; [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

3:3  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stood before the angel.

3:4  And [the angel] answered and spoke 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 have caused thee to be clothed with new raiment.

3:5  And I said, Let them set a clean mitre upon his head. So they set a clean mitre upon his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

3:6  And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,

3:7  Thus saith the LORD of the hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also govern my house and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee [a] place among these that are here.

3:8  Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee, for they [are] men of wonder. Behold, I bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

3:9  For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [there are] seven eyes; behold, I will engrave his labour, saith the LORD of the hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of the land in one day.

3:10  In that day, saith the LORD of the hosts, each one of you shall call his neighbour under his vine and under [his] fig tree.:

Chapter 4

4:1  And the angel that talked with me came again and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

4:2  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 its seven lamps upon the candlestick, and seven pipes for the lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:

4:3  and two olive trees over it, one upon the right hand [side] of the bowl and the other upon the left hand [side] thereof.

4:4  So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [is] this, my lord?

4:5  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Dost thou not know what this is? And I said, No, my lord.

4:6  Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This [is the] word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, said the LORD of the hosts.

4:7  Who [art] thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? [Thou shalt be reduced to] a plain; and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.

4:8  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel shall lay the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you.

4:10  For who has despised the day of small [beginnings]? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. Those seven [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

4:11  Then I spoke and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right hand [side] of the candlestick and upon the left hand [side] thereof?

4:12  And I spoke the second time and said unto him, What [are these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

4:13  And he answered me and said, Dost thou not know what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.

4:14  Then he said, These two sons of oil [are] those that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.:

Chapter 5

5:1  Then I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold a flying roll.

5:2  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.

5:3  Then said he unto me, This [is] the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth; for every one that steals (as it [is written] on one side of the [roll]) shall be destroyed; and every one that swears (as it [is written] on the other side of the [roll]) shall be destroyed.

5:4  I brought it forth, said the LORD of the hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of him that swears 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.

5:5  Then the angel that talked with me went forth and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes and see what [is] this that goes forth.

5:6  And I said, What [is] it? And he said, This is an ephah [to measure wheat] that goes forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance in all the earth.

5:7  And, behold, they lifted up a talent of lead, and a woman was sitting in the midst of that ephah.

5:8  And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

5:9  Then I lifted up my 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 heavens.

5:10  Then I said to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?

5:11  And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.:

Chapter 6

6:1  And I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and those mountains [were] of brass.

6:2  In the first chariot [were] red horses and in the second chariot black horses;

6:3  in the third chariot white horses and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

6:4  Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [is] this, my lord?

6:5  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.

6:6  The one with the black horses went forth towards the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grisled went forth toward the south country.

6:7  And the bay went forth and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth, and he said, Go from here; walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

6:8  Then he called me and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, those that went toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

6:9  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

6:10  Take of [those of that returned from] the captivity, [of the lineage] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whom are come from Babylon.

6:11  Thou shalt take silver and gold and make crowns and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,

6:12  and speak unto him, saying, Thus spoke the LORD of the 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.

6:13  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.

6:14  And Helem and Tobijah and Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah shall have crowns for [a] memorial in the temple of the LORD.

6:15  And those [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass if ye will obediently hear the voice of the LORD our God.:

Chapter 7

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;

7:2  when they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech and their men, to pray before the LORD

7:3  [and] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the house of the LORD of the hosts and to the prophets, saying, Should we weep in the fifth month? Should we do abstinence as we have done these so many years?

7:4  Then the word of the LORD of the hosts came unto me, saying,

7:5  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?

7:6  And when ye ate, and when ye drank, did ye not eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?

7:7  Are these not the words which the LORD has published by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and quiet and the cities thereof round about her and [when] the south and the plain were inhabited?

7:8  And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,

7:9  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion each one to his brother;

7:10  and do not oppress the widow nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

7:11  But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears that they should not hear.

7:12  Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone lest they should hear the law and the words which the LORD of the hosts has sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came great wrath from the LORD of the hosts.

7:13  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 the hosts:

7:14  but I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the Gentiles whom they did not know. Thus the land was desolate after them that no man passed through nor returned; for they laid the desirable land desolate.:

Chapter 8

8:1  Again the word of the LORD of the hosts came [to me], saying,

8:2  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

8:3  Thus hath the LORD said, I will restore Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called City of truth and the mountain of the LORD of the hosts, the mountain of holiness.

8:4  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Old men and old women shall yet dwell there in the streets of Jerusalem, and each one [with] his staff in his hand for the multitude of the days.

8:5  And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls who shall play in them.

8:6  Thus saith the LORD of the hosts, If this should appear difficult in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be difficult in my eyes? saith the LORD of the hosts.

8:7  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Behold, I will save my people of the land of the east and of the land where the sun sets;

8:8  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.

8:9  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, from the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of the hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

8:10  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 each one against his neighbour.

8:11  But now I [will] not [do] unto the residue of this people as in the former days, said the LORD of the hosts.

8:12  For the seed of peace [shall remain]; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her fruit, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all this.

8:13  And it shall come to pass [that] as ye were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Judah and house of Israel; so will I save you that ye might be a blessing; fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.

8:14  For thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, said the LORD of the hosts, and I did not repent:

8:15  so again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; do not fear.

8:16  These [are] the things that ye shall do: Speak each one the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;

8:17  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, said the LORD.

8:18  And the word of the LORD of the hosts came unto me, saying,

8:19  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, 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.

8:20  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, [It shall yet come to pass] that there shall come people and the inhabitants of many cities

8:21  and the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go to pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD of the hosts. [And the other will respond:] I will go also.

8:22  And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of the hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the LORD.

8:23  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, In those days [it shall come to pass] that ten men of all the languages of the Gentiles shall take hold of the robe of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard [that] God [is] with you.:

Chapter 9

9:1  The burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and of Damascus, his rest, because the eyes of the men and of all the tribes of Israel [are turned] toward the LORD.

9:2  And Hamath also shall come to an end in her; Tyre, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

9:3  And Tyre built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver as the dust and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

9:4  Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

9:5  Ashkelon shall see [it] and fear; Gaza also [shall see it] and be very sorrowful, and Ekron for her hope shall be confounded; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

9:6  And a stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

9:7  And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth, but some of them shall remain for our God, and they shall be as captains in Judah, and Ekron as the Jebusite.

9:8  And I will be the defence and firm support to my house from him that comes and goes; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more, for now I have seen with my eyes.

9:9  Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; [shout with] joy, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King shall come unto thee: just, and a saviour; humble, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

9:10  And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be broken and he shall speak peace unto the Gentiles; and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.

9:11  As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have taken thy prisoners out of the pit in which [there is] no water.

9:12  Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope; even today I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;

9:13  for I have bent Judah for me [as a] bow, and I made Ephraim his arrow, and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

9:14  And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the shofar and shall go forth as [the] whirlwinds of the south.

9:15  The LORD of the hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink [and] make a noise as though [drunk] with wine; and they shall be filled like bowls [and] as the corners of the altar.

9:16  And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as a flock of his people, for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

9:17  For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! The wheat shall make the young men cheerful, and the wine the maids.:

Chapter 10

10:1  Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, [so] the LORD shall make lightnings and shall give you abundant rain and grass in the field to each one.

10:2  For the idols have spoken vanity and the diviners have seen a lie and have told vain dreams; they comfort in vain; therefore they went their way like sheep; they were humbled because [there was] no shepherd.

10:3  My anger is kindled against the pastors, and I will visit the he goats, for the LORD of the hosts shall visit his flock, the house of Judah, and shall make them as his horse of honour in the battle.

10:4  Out of him shall come the corner, out of him the stake, out of him the battle bow, out of him also every oppressor.

10:5  And they shall be as mighty [men], who tread down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight because the LORD [shall be] with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

10:6  For I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will keep the house of Joseph, and I will cause them to return; for I shall have compassion 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.

10:7  And [those of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man], and their heart shall rejoice as through wine, their sons shall also see [it] and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

10:8  I will hiss for them and gather them; for I have ransomed them; and they shall be multiplied as they were multiplied.

10:9  [It was] good that I planted them among the peoples; even in far countries there shall be mention made of me; and they shall live with their sons and turn again.

10:10  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.

10:11  And the tribulation shall pass through the sea 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 be lost.

10:12  And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.:

Chapter 11

11:1  Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

11:2  Howl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen because the magnificent are cut down; howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong mountain is brought down.

11:3  [There is] a voice of the howling of the pastors; for their magnificence is destroyed; a voice of the roaring of young lions, for the pride of the Jordan is destroyed.

11:4  Thus hath the LORD my God said, Feed the flock of the slaughter,

11:5  whose buyers slayed them and held themselves not guilty; and he that sold them said, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and not even their own shepherds had compassion on them.

11:6  Therefore I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD; but, behold, I will deliver the men each one into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver [them] out of their hands.

11:7  And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. For I took unto me two staves: the one I named Beauty, and the other Bands; and I fed the flock.

11:8  I also cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul was in anguish for them, and their soul also abhorred me.

11:9  Then I said, I will not feed you [any longer]; the one that dies, let it die; and the one that is to be lost, let it be lost; and let the rest eat each one the flesh of another.

11:10  And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

11:11  And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that look unto me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.

11:12  And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me]my wages; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wages thirty [pieces] of silver.

11:13  And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the treasury: a goodly price that I was appraised at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver and cast them in the house of the LORD unto the treasury.

11:14  Then I cut asunder my other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

11:15  And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

11:16  For, behold, I raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that are lost, neither shall seek the young one nor heal the one that is broken nor carry the one that is tired, but he shall eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hoofs in pieces.

11:17  Woe to the useless pastor that leaves the flock! the sword [shall be] upon his arm and upon his right eye; his arm shall be completely dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.:

Chapter 12

12:1  The burden of the word of the LORD upon Israel, said the LORD, who stretches forth the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him.

12:2  Behold, I place Jerusalem as [a] cup of poison unto all the peoples round about and also unto Judah [who] shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.

12:3  And it shall be that in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone unto all peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, and all the Gentiles of the earth shall gather themselves together against her.

12:4  In that day, said the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment and his rider with madness; but I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.

12:5  And the captains of Judah shall say in their heart, My strength [is] the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the LORD of the hosts, their God.

12:6  In that day I will make the captains of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood and like a torch of fire among [the] sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem.

12:7  And the LORD shall keep the tents of Judah [as] in the beginning, so that the glory of the house of David and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not [cause those of] Judah to magnify [themselves].

12:8  In that day the LORD shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is weak among them in that time shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

12:9  And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will seek to destroy all the Gentiles that come against Jerusalem.

12:10  And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem [the] Spirit of grace and of prayer, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn over him as one mourns for [his] only [son], afflicting themselves over him as one afflicts himself over [his] firstborn.

12:11  In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

12:12  And the land shall mourn, each 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;

12:13  the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

12:14  all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.:

Chapter 13

13:1  In that time there shall be an open fountain for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem against sin and against uncleanness.

13:2  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of the hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no longer be remembered; and I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness to be cut off out of the land.

13:3  And it shall come to pass, [that] when anyone else shall 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 prophesies.

13:4  And it shall come to pass in that time, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he has prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

13:5  but he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] a husbandman of the land; for I learned this from man from my youth.

13:6  And [they] shall ask him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

13:7  Awake, O sword, upon the pastor and upon the man [that is] my fellow, said the LORD of the hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

13:8  And it shall come to pass [that] in all the land, said the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off in her [and] shall be lost; but the third shall be left therein.

13:9  And I will put the third part into the fire and will refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried; He shall call on my name, and I will hear him; I will say, My people, and he shall say, The LORD [is] my God.:

Chapter 14

14:1  Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

14:2  For I will gather all the Gentiles against Jerusalem in 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, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

14:3  Then the LORD shall go forth and fight against those Gentiles as when he fought in the day of battle.

14:4  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, [making] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south.

14:5  And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and 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 his saints with him.

14:6  And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the light shall not be clear, [nor] dark;

14:7  but it shall be one day which is known to the LORD, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening time there shall be light.

14:8  And it shall be in that day [that] living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter it shall be.

14:9  And the LORD shall be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD shall be one, and his name one.

14:10  All the land shall become a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate unto the gate of the corners, and [from] the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

14:11  And [men] shall dwell in it, and it shall never be anathema again; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

14:12  And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the peoples that 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.

14:13  And it shall come to pass in that day [that] a great destruction from the LORD shall be in them, for they shall lay hold each one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14:14  And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the Gentiles round about shall be gathered together: gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.

14:15  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 were in the armies.

14:16  And 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 the hosts, and to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

14:17  And it shall be [that] whoever will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of the hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

14:18  And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, there shall be no [rain] upon them; [instead] there shall be the plague, with which the LORD will smite the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

14:19  This shall be [the punishment] of the sin of Egypt and of the sin of all the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

14:20  In that day there shall be [written] 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.

14:21  And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of the hosts; and all those that sacrifice shall come and take of them and cook therein; and in that time there shall be no more merchandizing in the house of the LORD of the hosts.:
