Israel Urged to Repent

1In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, saying:H8066H2320H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559 2The LORD was very angry with your ancestors.H3068H7110H7107H1 3Therefore say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.H559H559H3068H6635H7725H5002H3068H6635H7725H559H3068H6635 4Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds." But they did not hear or heed me, says the LORD.H1H7223H5030H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7725H7451H1870H7451H4611H8085H7181H5002H3068 5Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?H1H5030H2421H5769 6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your ancestors? So they repented and said, "The LORD of hosts has dealt with us according to our ways and deeds, just as he planned to do."H1697H2706H6680H5650H5030H5381H1H7725H559H3068H6635H2161H6213H1870H4611H6213

First Vision: The Horsemen

7On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo; and Zechariah said,H702H6242H3117H6249H6240H2320H2320H7627H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559 8In the night I saw a man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen; and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.H7200H3915H376H7392H122H5483H5975H1918H4699H310H122H5483H8320H3836 9Then I said, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what they are."H559H113H4397H1696H559H7200 10So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, "They are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."H376H5975H1918H6030H559H3068H7971H1980H776 11Then they spoke to the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, "We have patrolled the earth, and lo, the whole earth remains at peace."H6030H4397H3068H5975H1918H559H1980H776H776H3427H8252 12Then the angel of the LORD said, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry these seventy years?"H4397H3068H6030H559H3068H6635H7355H3389H5892H3063H2194H7657H8141 13Then the LORD replied with gracious and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.H3068H6030H4397H1696H2896H1697H5150H1697 14So the angel who talked with me said to me, Proclaim this message: Thus says the LORD of hosts; I am very jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion.H4397H1696H559H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7065H3389H6726H1419H7068 15And I am extremely angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was only a little angry, they made the disaster worse.H1419H7110H7107H1471H7600H4592H7107H5826H7451 16Therefore, thus says the LORD, I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion; my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.H559H3068H7725H3389H7356H1004H1129H5002H3068H6635H6957H6961H5186H3389 17Proclaim further: Thus says the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.H7121H559H559H3068H6635H5892H2896H6327H3068H5162H6726H977H3389

Second Vision: The Horns and the Smiths

18And I looked up and saw four horns.H5375H5869H7200H702H7161 19I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" And he answered me, "These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."H559H4397H1696H559H7161H2219H3063H3478H3389 20Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths.H3068H7200H702H2796 21And I asked, "What are they coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no head could be raised; but these have come to terrify them, to strike down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people."H559H935H6213H559H559H7161H2219H3063H6310H376H5375H7218H935H2729H3034H7161H1471H5375H7161H776H3063H2219
