In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
I sawH7200 by nightH3915, and behold a manH376 ridingH7392 upon a redH122 horseH5483, and he stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 that were in the bottomH4699; and behindH310 him were there redH122 horsesH5483, speckledH8320, and whiteH3836. {speckled: or, bay}
Then saidH559 I, O my lordH113, what are these? And the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, I will shewH7200 thee what these be.
And the manH376 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 answeredH6030 and saidH559, These are they whom the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 to walkH1980 to and fro through the earthH776.
And they answeredH6030 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918, and saidH559, We have walked to and froH1980 through the earthH776, and, behold, all the earthH776 sitteth stillH3427, and is at restH8252.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 and saidH559, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, how long wilt thou not have mercyH7355 on JerusalemH3389 and on the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, against which thou hast had indignationH2194 these threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141?
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me with goodH2896 wordsH1697 and comfortableH5150 wordsH1697.
So the angelH4397 that communedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, CryH7121 thou, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068.
And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129 in it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and a lineH6957+H6961 shall be stretched forthH5186 upon JerusalemH3389.
CryH7121 yet, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327; and the LORDH3068 shall yet comfortH5162 ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977 JerusalemH3389. {prosperity: Heb. good}
Then lifted I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and behold fourH702 hornsH7161.
And I saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What be these? And he answeredH559 me, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me fourH702 carpentersH2796.
Then saidH559 I, What comeH935 these to doH6213? And he spakeH559, sayingH559, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, so thatH6310 no manH376 did lift upH5375 his headH7218: but these are comeH935 to frayH2729 them, to cast outH3034 the hornsH7161 of the GentilesH1471, which lifted upH5375 their hornH7161 over the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatterH2219 it.

But manH1397 diethH4191, and wasteth awayH2522: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is he? {wasteth…: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}
As the watersH4325 failH235 from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717 and drieth upH3001:
So manH376 lieth downH7901, and risethH6965 not: till the heavensH8064 be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974, nor be raised outH5782 of their sleepH8142.
The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescoreH7657 yearsH8141 and tenH7657; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468, and we fly awayH5774. {The days…: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years}
One generationH1755 passeth awayH1980, and another generationH1755 comethH935+H935: but the earthH776 abidethH5975 for everH5769.
For all this I consideredH5414 in my heartH3820 even to declareH952 all this, that the righteousH6662, and the wiseH2450, and their worksH5652, are in the handH3027 of GodH430: no manH120 knowethH3045 eitherH1571 loveH160 or hatredH8135 by all that is beforeH6440 them. {I considered…: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}
All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 eventH4745 to the righteousH6662, and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889, and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificethH2076, and to him thatH834 sacrificethH2076 not: as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that swearethH7650, as he that fearethH3373 an oathH7621.
This is an evilH7451 among all things that are doneH6213 under the sunH8121, that there is oneH259 eventH4745 unto all: yea, also the heartH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 is fullH4390 of evilH7451, and madnessH1947 is in their heartH3824 while they liveH2416, and afterH310 that they go to the deadH4191.
Also when they shall be afraidH3372 of that which is highH1364, and fearsH2849 shall be in the wayH1870, and the almond treeH8247 shall flourishH5006, and the grasshopperH2284 shall be a burdenH5445, and desireH35 shall failH6565: because manH120 goethH1980 to his longH5769 homeH1004, and the mournersH5594 go aboutH5437 the streetsH7784:
Then shall the dustH6083 returnH7725 to the earthH776 as it was: and the spiritH7307 shall returnH7725 unto GodH430 who gaveH5414 it.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:

That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064 inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198 afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
