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.

I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869 again, and lookedH7200, and behold a manH376 with a measuringH4060 lineH2256 in his handH3027.
In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and tookH3947 IjonH5859, and AbelbethmaachahH62, and JanoahH3239, and KedeshH6943, and HazorH2674, and GileadH1568, and GalileeH1551, all the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and carried them captiveH1540 to AssyriaH804.
Then I turnedH7725, and lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold a flyingH5774 rollH4039.
In the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
Against him came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725 him presentsH4503. {gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927 no presentH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113, and boundH631 him in prisonH1004+H3608. {present: or, tribute}
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
Then the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me went forthH3318, and saidH559 unto me, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200 what is this that goeth forthH3318.
And it came to pass in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, which was the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it.
And at the endH7097 of threeH7969 yearsH8141 they tookH3920 it: even in the sixthH8337 yearH8141 of HezekiahH2396, that is the ninthH8672 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SamariaH8111 was takenH3920.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 did carry awayH1540 IsraelH3478 unto AssyriaH804, and putH5148 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074:
Because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but transgressedH5674 his covenantH1285, and all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, and would not hearH8085 them, nor doH6213 them.
Then lifted I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, there came outH3318 twoH8147 womenH802, and the windH7307 was in their wingsH3671; for they hadH2007 wingsH3671 like the wingsH3671 of a storkH2624: and they lifted upH5375 the ephahH374 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064.
In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 against him bandsH1416 of the ChaldeesH3778, and bandsH1416 of the SyriansH758, and bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Surely at the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 came this upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493 them out of his sightH6440, for the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, according to all that he didH6213;
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH3318 not againH3254 any more out of his landH776: for the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had takenH3947 from the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714 unto the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 all that pertained to the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
JehoiachinH3078 was eighteenH8083+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NehushtaH5179, the daughterH1323 of ElnathanH494 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.
At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692. {was…: Heb. came into siege}
And NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 against the cityH5892, and his servantsH5650 did besiegeH6696 it.
And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. {officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}
And he carried outH3318 thence all the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and cut in piecesH7112 all the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
And he carried awayH1540 all JerusalemH3389, and all the princesH8269, and all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, even tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and all the craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525: none remainedH7604, saveH2108 the poorest sortH1803 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he carried awayH1540 JehoiachinH3078 to BabylonH894, and the king'sH4428 motherH517, and the king'sH4428 wivesH802, and his officersH5631, and the mightyH352+H193 of the landH776, those carriedH3212 he into captivityH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. {officers: or, eunuchs}
And all the menH582 of mightH2428, even sevenH7651 thousandH505, and craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525 a thousandH505, all that were strongH1368 and aptH6213 for warH4421, even them the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 captiveH1473 to BabylonH894.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made MattaniahH4983 his father's brotherH1730 kingH4427 in his stead, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and oneH259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversariesH6862?
ThouH607, O kingH4430, art a kingH4430 of kingsH4430: for the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 thee a kingdomH4437, powerH2632, and strengthH8632, and gloryH3367.
And wheresoeverH3606 the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowlsH5776 of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath made thee rulerH7981 over them allH3606. ThouH607 art this headH7217 of goldH1722.
And afterH870 thee shall ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to theeH4481, and anotherH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brassH5174, which shall bear ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772.
And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 strongH8624 as ironH6523: forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in piecesH1855 and subduethH2827 allH3606 things: and asH6903 ironH6523 that breakethH7490 allH3606 theseH459, shall it break in piecesH1855 and bruiseH7490.
And whereas thou sawestH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677, partH4481 of potters'H6353 clayH2635, and partH4481 of ironH6523, the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 dividedH6386; butH4481 there shall beH1934 in it ofH4481 the strengthH5326 of the ironH6523, forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635.
And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635, so the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 partlyH4481+H7118 strongH8624, and partlyH4481+H7118 brokenH8406. {broken: or, brittle}
And whereasH1768 thou sawestH2370 ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635, they shall mingle themselvesH1934+H6151 with the seedH2234 of menH606: but they shallH1934 notH3809 cleaveH1693 oneH1836 toH5974 anotherH1836, evenH1888 as ironH6523 is notH3809 mixedH6151 with clayH2635. {one…: Cald. this with this}
Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the otherH8145, and the higherH1364 came upH5927 lastH314. {the other: Heb. the second}
And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559 fromH4481 the seaH3221, diverseH8133 oneH1668 fromH4481 anotherH1668.
The firstH6933 was like a lionH744, and had eagle'sH5403 wingsH1611: I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the wingsH1611 thereof were pluckedH4804, and it was lifted upH5191 fromH4481 the earthH772, and made standH6966 uponH5922 the feetH7271 as a manH606, and a man'sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052 to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
And beholdH718 anotherH317 beastH2423, a secondH8578, likeH1821 to a bearH1678, and it raised upH6966 itself on oneH2298 sideH7859, and it had threeH8532 ribsH5967 in the mouthH6433 of it betweenH997 the teethH8128 of it: and they saidH560 thusH3652 unto it, AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 fleshH1321. {it raised…: or, it raised up one dominion}
AfterH870 thisH1836 I beheldH1934+H2370, and loH718 anotherH317, like a leopardH5245, which had uponH5922 the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowlH5776; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it.
AfterH870 thisH1836 I sawH1934+H2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718 a fourthH7244 beastH2423, dreadfulH1763 and terribleH574, and strongH8624 exceedinglyH3493; and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teethH8128: it devouredH399 and brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with the feetH7271 of it: and itH1932 was diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it; and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162.
I consideredH1934+H7920 the hornsH7162, and, beholdH431, there came upH5559 amongH997 them anotherH317 littleH2192 hornH7162, beforeH6925+H4481 whom there were threeH8532 ofH4481 the firstH6933 hornsH7162 plucked up by the rootsH6132: and, beholdH431, in thisH1668 hornH7162 were eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of manH606, and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449 great thingsH7260.
Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the otherH8145, and the higherH1364 came upH5927 lastH314. {the other: Heb. the second}
I sawH7200 the ramH352 pushingH5055 westwardH3220, and northwardH6828, and southwardH5045; so that no beastsH2416 might standH5975 beforeH6440 him, neither was there any that could deliverH5337 out of his handH3027; but he didH6213 according to his willH7522, and became greatH1431.
And as I was consideringH995, behold, an heH5795 goatH6842 cameH935 from the westH4628 on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060 not the groundH776: and the goatH6842 had a notableH2380 hornH7161 between his eyesH5869. {touched…: or, none touched him in the earth} {a notable…: Heb. a horn of sight}
And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that hadH1167 two hornsH7161, which I had seenH7200 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180, and ranH7323 unto him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581.
And I sawH7200 him comeH5060 close untoH681 the ramH352, and he was moved with cholerH4843 against him, and smoteH5221 the ramH352, and brakeH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161: and there was no powerH3581 in the ramH352 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, but he cast him downH7993 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon him: and there was none that could deliverH5337 the ramH352 out of his handH3027.
Therefore the heH6842 goatH5795 waxed veryH3966 greatH1431: and when he was strongH6105, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and for it came upH5927 fourH702 notable onesH2380 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.
And out of oneH259 of them came forthH3318 a littleH4704 hornH7161, which waxed exceedingH3499 greatH1431, toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the pleasantH6643 land.
And it waxed greatH1431, even to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and it cast downH5307 some of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon them. {to the host: or, against the host}
Yea, he magnifiedH1431 himself even to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635, and by him the dailyH8548 sacrifice was taken awayH7311+H7311, and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was cast downH7993. {to: or, against} {by him: or, from him}
And an hostH6635 was givenH5414 him against the dailyH8548 sacrifice by reason of transgressionH6588, and it cast downH7993 the truthH571 to the groundH776; and it practisedH6213, and prosperedH6743. {an host…: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice}
Then I heardH8085 oneH259 saintH6918 speakingH1696, and anotherH259 saintH6918 saidH559 unto that certainH6422 saint which spakeH1696, How long shall be the visionH2377 concerning the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and the transgressionH6588 of desolationH8074, to giveH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under footH4823? {that…: or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni} {of…: or, making desolate}
And he saidH559 unto me, Unto two thousandH505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 daysH6153+H1242; then shall the sanctuaryH6944 be cleansedH6663. {days: Heb. evening morning} {cleansed: Heb. justified}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
