Amplified Bible Help
1IN THE eighth month, in the second year [of the reign] of Darius, came the word of the Lord to Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,H8066H2320H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559 2The Lord was very angry with your fathers.H3068H7110H7107H1 3Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day], Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you; it is the utterance of the Lord of hosts.H559H559H3068H6635H7725H5002H3068H6635H7725H559H3068H6635 4Be not as your fathers to whom the former prophets cried, Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return now from your evil ways and your evil doings; but they would not hear or listen to Me, says the Lord.H1H7223H5030H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7725H7451H1870H7451H4611H8085H7181H5002H3068 5Your fathers, 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 {and} take hold of your fathers? So they repented and said, As the Lord of hosts planned {and} purposed to do to us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so has He dealt with us.H1697H2706H6680H5650H5030H5381H1H7725H559H3068H6635H2161H6213H1870H4611H6213 7Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of the reign of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet. Zechariah said,H702H6242H3117H6249H6240H2320H2320H7627H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559 8I saw in the night [vision] and behold, a Man riding upon a red horse, and He stood among the myrtle trees that were in a low valley {or} bottom, and behind Him there were horses, red, bay {or} flame-colored, and white.H7200H3915H376H7392H122H5483H5975H1918H4699H310H122H5483H8320H3836 9Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked with me said, I will show you what these are.H559H113H4397H1696H559H7200 10And the Man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro through the earth {and} patrol it.H376H5975H1918H6030H559H3068H7971H1980H776 11And the men on the horses answered the Angel of the Lord Who stood among the myrtle trees and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth [patrolling it] and behold, all the earth sits at rest [in peaceful security].H6030H4397H3068H5975H1918H559H1980H776H776H3427H8252 12Then the Angel of the Lord said, O Lord of hosts, how long will You not have mercy {and} lovingkindness for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which You have had indignation these seventy years [of the Babylonian captivity]?H4397H3068H6030H559H3068H6635H7355H3389H5892H3063H2194H7657H8141 13And the Lord answered the angel who talked with me with gracious and comforting words.H3068H6030H4397H1696H2896H1697H5150H1697 14So the angel who talked with me said to me, Cry out, Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.H4397H1696H559H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7065H3389H6726H1419H7068 15And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was but a little displeased, they helped forward the affliction {and} disaster.H1419H7110H7107H1471H7600H4592H7107H5826H7451 16Therefore thus says the Lord: I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion (lovingkindness and mercy). My house shall be built in it, says the Lord of hosts, and a measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem [with a view to rebuilding its walls].H559H3068H7725H3389H7356H1004H1129H5002H3068H6635H6957H6961H5186H3389 17Cry yet again, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts: My cities shall yet again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem.H7121H559H559H3068H6635H5892H2896H6327H3068H5162H6726H977H3389 18Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns [symbols of strength].H5375H5869H7200H702H7161 19And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns {or} powers which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.H559H4397H1696H559H7161H2219H3063H3478H3389 20Then the Lord showed me four smiths {or} workmen [one for each enemy horn, to beat it down].H3068H7200H702H2796 21Then said I, What are these [horns and smiths] coming to do? And he said, These are the horns {or} powers that scattered Judah so that no man lifted up his head. But these smiths {or} workmen have come to terrorize them {and} cause them to be panic-stricken, to cast out the horns {or} powers of the nations who lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.H559H935H6213H559H559H7161H2219H3063H6310H376H5375H7218H935H2729H3034H7161H1471H5375H7161H776H3063H2219
