Be ye not as your fathers unto whom the former prophets have cried saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts; TurnReturn ye now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not hear nor hearken unto me saith theJehovah Lord |
| 1:6 |
But my words and my statutes which I commanded my servants the prophets did they not takeovertake hold of your fathers and they returnedturned and said Like as theJehovah Lord of hosts thought to do unto us according to our ways and according to our doings so hath he dealt with us |
| 1:7 |

I saw byin the 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 therehorses red horsessorrel 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 shewshow thee what these beare |
| 1:10 |
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said These are they whom theJehovah Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth |
| 1:11 |
And they answered the angel of theJehovah Lord that stood among the myrtle trees and said We have walked to and fro through the earth and behold all the earth sitteth still and is at rest |
| 1:12 |
Then the angel of theJehovah Lord answered and said O LordJehovah of hosts how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years |
| 1:13 |
And theJehovah Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words andeven comfortable words |
| 1:14 |
So the angel that communedtalked with me said unto me Cry thou saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy |
| 1:15 |
And I am very sore displeased with the heathennations that are at ease:; for I was but a little displeased and they helped forward the affliction |
| 1:16 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah: Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies:; my house shall be built in it saith theJehovah Lord of hosts and a line shall be stretched forth uponover Jerusalem |
| 1:17 |
Cry yet again saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: My cities through prosperity shall yet beoverflow spreadwith abroadprosperity; and theJehovah Lord shall yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem |
| 1:18 |
ThenAnd I lifted I up mine eyes and saw and behold four horns |
| 1:19 |
And I said unto the angel that talked with me What beare these And he answered me These are the horns which have scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem |
| 1:20 |
And theJehovah Lordshowed shewed me four carpenterssmiths |
| 1:21 |
Then said I What come these to do And he spake saying These are the horns which have scattered Judah so that no man did lift up his head:; but these are come to frayterrify them to cast outdown the horns of the Gentilesnations which lifted up their horn overagainst the land of Judah to scatter it |
| 2:1 |
And I lifted up mine eyes again and lookedsaw and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand |
| 2:4 |
Andand said unto him Run speak to this young man saying Jerusalem shall be inhabited as townsvillages without walls forby reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein: |
| 2:5 |
For I saith theJehovah Lord will be unto her a wall of fire round about and I will be the glory in the midst of her |
| 2:6 |
Ho ho come forth and flee from the land of the north saith theJehovah; Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavenheavens saith theJehovah Lord |
| 2:7 |
DeliverHo thyselfZion Oescape Zionthou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon |

| 2:12 |
And theJehovah Lord shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and shall yet choose Jerusalem again |
| 2:13 |
Be silent O all flesh before theJehovah; Lord: for he is raisedwaked up out of his holy habitation |
| 3:1 |
And he shewedshowed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of theJehovah Lord and Satan standing at his right hand to resistbe himhis adversary |
| 3:2 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan TheJehovah Lord rebuke thee O Satan; evenyea theJehovah Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire |
| 3:3 |
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stoodwas standing before the angel |
| 3:4 |
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him saying Take away the filthy garments from off him And unto him he said Behold I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee and I will clothe thee with changerich ofapparel raiment |
| 3:5 |
And I said Let them set a fairclean mitre upon his head So they set a fairclean mitre upon his head and clothed him with garments; Andand the angel of theJehovah Lordwas stoodstanding by |
| 3:6 |
And the angel of theJehovah Lord protested unto Joshua saying |
| 3:7 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: If thou wilt walk in my ways and if thou wilt keep my charge then thou also shalt also judge my house and shalt also keep my courts and I will give thee placesa toplace walkof access among these that stand by |
| 3:8 |
Hear now O Joshua the high priest thou and thy fellows that sit before thee:; for they are men wonderedthat atare a sign: for behold I will bring forth my servant the Branch |
| 3:9 |
For behold the stone that I have laidset before Joshua; upon one stone shallare be seven eyes: behold I will engrave the graving thereof saith theJehovah Lord of hosts and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day |
| 3:10 |
In that day saith theJehovah Lord of hosts shall ye callinvite every man his neighbourneighbor under the vine and under the fig tree |
| 4:2 |
And he said unto me What seest thou And I said I have lookedseen and behold a candlestick all of gold with aits bowl upon the top of it and hisits seven lamps thereon; andthere are seven pipes to each of the seven lamps which are upon the top thereof:; |
| 4:3 |
Andand two olive trees by it one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side thereof |
| 4:4 |
SoAnd I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me saying What are these my lord |
| 4:5 |

For who hath despised the day of small things for theythese seven shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; theythese are the eyes of theJehovah Lord which run to and fro through the whole earth |
| 4:12 |
And I answered againthe second time and said unto him What beare these two olive branches which throughare beside the two golden pipesspouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves |
| 4:13 |
And he answered me and said Knowest thou not what these beare And I said No my lord |
| 5:1 |
Then again I turned and lifted up mine eyes and lookedsaw and behold a flying roll |
| 5:3 |
Then said he unto me This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earthland: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on thisthe one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on thatthe other side according to it |
| 5:4 |
I will bringcause it to go forth saith theJehovah Lord of hosts and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name:; and it shall remainabide in the midst of his house and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof |

| 5:7 |
Andand behold there was lifted up a talent of lead:; and this is a woman thatsitting sitteth in the midst of the ephah |

| 5:9 |
Then lifted I up mine eyes and lookedsaw and behold there came outforth two women and the wind was in their wings; fornow they had wings like the wings of a stork:; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and theheaven heaven |

| 6:8 |
Then cried he uponto me and spake unto me saying Behold thesethey that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country |
| 6:9 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 6:10 |
Take of them of the captivity even of Heldai of Tobijah and of Jedaiah; which are come from Babylon and come thou the same day and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah whither they are come from Babylon; |
| 6:11 |
Thenyea take of them silver and gold and make crowns and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of JosedechJehozadak the high priest; |
| 6:12 |
Andand speak unto him saying Thus speaketh theJehovah Lord of hosts saying Behold the man whose name is Thethe Branch;: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of theJehovah; Lord: |
| 6:13 |
Eveneven he shall build the temple of the LordJehovah; 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 the crowns shall be to Helem and to Tobijah and to Jedaiah and to Hen the son of Zephaniah for a memorial in the temple of theJehovah Lord |

| 7:11 |
But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears that they shouldmight not hear |
| 7:12 |
Yea they made their hearts as an adamant stone lest they should hear the law and the words which theJehovah Lord of hosts hathhad sent inby his spiritSpirit by the former prophets: therefore there came a great wrath from theJehovah Lord of hosts |
| 7:13 |
ThereforeAnd it is come to pass that as he cried and they would not hear; so they criedshall cry and I wouldwill not hear saithsaid theJehovah Lord of hosts:; |

| 8:17 |
Andand let none of you imaginedevise evil in your hearts against his neighbourneighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate saith the LordJehovah |
