A Plea for Repentance

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:H8066H2320H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559
2"The LORD was extremely angry with your ancestors.H3068H7110H7107H1
3So tell the people: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Return to Me"— [this is] the declaration of the LORD of Hosts— "and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.H559H559H3068H6635H7725H5002H3068H6635H7725H559H3068H6635
4Do not be like your ancestors; the earlier prophets proclaimed to them: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Turn from your evil ways and your evil deeds. But they did not listen or pay attention to Me"— the LORD's declaration.H1H7223H5030H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7725H7451H1870H7451H4611H8085H7181H5002H3068
5"Where are your ancestors now? And do the prophets live forever?H1H5030H2421H5769
6But didn't My words and My statutes that I commanded My servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? They repented and said: As the LORD of Hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so He has dealt with us."H1697H2706H6680H5650H5030H5381H1H7725H559H3068H6635H2161H6213H1870H4611H6213
7On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is 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:H702H6242H3117H6249H6240H2320H2320H7627H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H2148H1121H1296H1121H5714H5030H559

First Vision: Horsemen

8I looked out in the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the valley. Behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.H7200H3915H376H7392H122H5483H5975H1918H4699H310H122H5483H8320H3836
9I asked, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who was talking to me replied, "I will show you what they are."H559H113H4397H1696H559H7200
10Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."H376H5975H1918H6030H559H3068H7971H1980H776
11They reported to the Angel of the LORD standing among the myrtle trees, "We have patrolled the earth, and right now the whole earth is calm and quiet."H6030H4397H3068H5975H1918H559H1980H776H776H3427H8252
12Then the Angel of the LORD responded, "How long, LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that You have been angry with these 70 years?"H4397H3068H6030H559H3068H6635H7355H3389H5892H3063H2194H7657H8141
13The LORD replied with kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.H3068H6030H4397H1696H2896H1697H5150H1697
14So the angel who was speaking with me said, "Proclaim: The LORD of Hosts says: I am extremely jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.H4397H1696H559H7121H559H559H3068H6635H7065H3389H6726H1419H7068
15I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease, for I was a little angry, but they made it worse.H1419H7110H7107H1471H7600H4592H7107H5826H7451
16Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I have graciously returned to Jerusalem; My house will be rebuilt within it"— the declaration of the LORD of Hosts— "and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.H559H3068H7725H3389H7356H1004H1129H5002H3068H6635H6957H6961H5186H3389
17"Proclaim further: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will once more comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem."H7121H559H559H3068H6635H5892H2896H6327H3068H5162H6726H977H3389

Second Vision: Four Horns and Craftsmen

18Then I looked up and saw four horns.H5375H5869H7200H702H7161
19So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, "What are these?" And he said to me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."H559H4397H1696H559H7161H2219H3063H3478H3389
20Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.H3068H7200H702H2796
21I asked, "What are they coming to do?" He replied, "These are the horns that scattered Judah so no one could raise his head. These [craftsmen] have come to terrify them, to cut off the horns of the nations that raised [their] horns against the land of Judah to scatter it."H559H935H6213H559H559H7161H2219H3063H6310H376H5375H7218H935H2729H3034H7161H1471H5375H7161H776H3063H2219
