Zechariah

Chapter 8

1 AGAIN the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am moved for Zion with great zeal. I am moved for her with great indignation.

3 Thus says the LORD: I will be comforted in Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.

4 Thus says the LORD of hosts: From henceforth old men and old women shall sit in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of his age.

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing.

6 Thus says the LORD of hosts: If this thing is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in my sight? says the LORD of hosts.

7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;

8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, all of you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were since the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

10 For before those days and before that time there was no wage for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in because of the oppressor; for behold, I incited all men every one against his neighbor.

11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in former days, says the LORD of hosts.

12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give its fruit and the ground shall yield its increase and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

13 And it shall come to pass that as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing; so let your hands be strong, fear not.

14 For thus says the LORD of hosts: As I purposed to harm you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I did not relent;

15 So again have I turned and thought in these days to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not.

16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth every one to his neighbor; execute the truth, justice, and peace in your gates;

17 And let none of you devise evil in your heart against his neighbor; and love no false oaths; for all these are things that I hate, says the LORD of hosts.

18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

19 Thus says the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

20 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Henceforth there shall yet come people and the inhabitants of many cities;

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall come to another, saying, Let us go and pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I will go also.

22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the LORD.

23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every language shall take hold of the skirt of a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.

Chapter 8

1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I was jealous7065 for Zion6726 with great1419 jealousy,7068 and I was jealous7065 for her with great1419 fury.2534

3 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Zion,6726 and will dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and Jerusalem3389 shall be called7121 a city5892 of truth;571 and the mountain2022 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 the holy6944 mountain.2022

4 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 There shall yet5750 old2205 men and old2205 women dwell3427 in the streets7339 of Jerusalem,3389 and every man376 with his staff4938 in his hand3027 for very7230 age.3117

5 And the streets7339 of the city5892 shall be full4390 of boys3206 and girls3207 playing7832 in the streets7339 thereof.

6 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 If3588 it be marvelous6381 in the eyes5869 of the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 in these1992 days,3117 should it also1571 be marvelous6381 in my eyes?5869 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

7 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2005 I will save3467 my people5971 from the east4217 country,776 and from the west3996 8121 country;776

8 And I will bring935 them, and they shall dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and they shall be my people,5971 and I will be their God,430 in truth571 and in righteousness.6666

9 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Let your hands3027 be strong,2388 you that hear8085 in these428 days3117 these428 words1697 by the mouth6310 of the prophets,5030 which834 were in the day3117 that the foundation3248 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 was laid,7760 that the temple1964 might be built.1129

10 For before6440 these1992 days3117 there was no3808 hire7939 for man,120 nor369 any hire7939 for beast;929 neither369 was there any peace7965 to him that went3318 out or came935 in because4480 of the affliction:6862 for I set7971 all3605 men120 every one376 against his neighbor.7453

11 But now6258 I will not be to the residue7611 of this2088 people5971 as in the former7223 days,3117 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

12 For the seed2233 shall be prosperous;7965 the vine1612 shall give5414 her fruit,6529 and the ground776 shall give5414 her increase,2981 and the heavens8064 shall give5414 their dew;2919 and I will cause the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 to possess5157 all3605 these428 things.

13 And it shall come1961 to pass, that as you were a curse7045 among the heathen,1471 O house1004 of Judah,3063 and house1004 of Israel;3478 so3651 will I save3467 you, and you shall be a blessing:1293 fear3372 not, but let your hands3027 be strong.2388

14 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 As I thought2161 to punish7489 you, when your fathers1 provoked me to wrath,7107 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I repented5162 not:

15 So3651 again7725 have I thought2161 in these428 days3117 to do well3190 to Jerusalem3389 and to the house1004 of Judah:3063 fear3372 you not.

16 These428 are the things that you shall do;6213 Speak1696 you every man376 the truth571 to his neighbor;7453 execute8199 the judgment4941 of truth571 and peace7965 in your gates:8179

17 And let none408 of you imagine evil7451 in your hearts3820 against his neighbor;7453 and love157 no3808 false8267 oath:7621 for all3605 these428 are things that I hate,8130 said5002 the LORD.3068

18 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559

19 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 The fast6685 of the fourth7243 month, and the fast6685 of the fifth,2549 and the fast6685 of the seventh,7637 and the fast6685 of the tenth,6224 shall be to the house1004 of Judah3063 joy8342 and gladness,8057 and cheerful2896 feasts;4150 therefore love157 the truth571 and peace.7965

20 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 It shall yet5750 come935 to pass, that there shall come people,5971 and the inhabitants3427 of many7227 cities:5892

21 And the inhabitants3427 of one259 city shall go1980 to another,259 saying,559 Let us go3212 speedily1980 to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD,3068 and to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 I will go3212 also.1571

22 Yes, many7227 people5971 and strong6099 nations1471 shall come935 to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Jerusalem,3389 and to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD.3068

23 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 In those1992 days3117 it shall come to pass, that ten6235 men582 shall take2388 hold2388 out of all3605 languages3956 of the nations,1471 even shall take2388 hold2388 of the skirt3671 of him that is a Jew,3064 saying,559 We will go3212 with you: for we have heard8085 that God430 is with you.

1 AGAIN the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559

2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am moved for Zion with great zeal. I am moved for her with great indignation.

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I was jealous7065 for Zion6726 with great1419 jealousy,7068 and I was jealous7065 for her with great1419 fury.2534

3 Thus says the LORD: I will be comforted in Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.

3 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Zion,6726 and will dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and Jerusalem3389 shall be called7121 a city5892 of truth;571 and the mountain2022 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 the holy6944 mountain.2022

4 Thus says the LORD of hosts: From henceforth old men and old women shall sit in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of his age.

4 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 There shall yet5750 old2205 men and old2205 women dwell3427 in the streets7339 of Jerusalem,3389 and every man376 with his staff4938 in his hand3027 for very7230 age.3117

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing.

5 And the streets7339 of the city5892 shall be full4390 of boys3206 and girls3207 playing7832 in the streets7339 thereof.

6 Thus says the LORD of hosts: If this thing is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in my sight? says the LORD of hosts.

6 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 If3588 it be marvelous6381 in the eyes5869 of the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 in these1992 days,3117 should it also1571 be marvelous6381 in my eyes?5869 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;

7 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2005 I will save3467 my people5971 from the east4217 country,776 and from the west3996 8121 country;776

8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

8 And I will bring935 them, and they shall dwell7931 in the middle8432 of Jerusalem:3389 and they shall be my people,5971 and I will be their God,430 in truth571 and in righteousness.6666

9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, all of you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were since the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

9 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Let your hands3027 be strong,2388 you that hear8085 in these428 days3117 these428 words1697 by the mouth6310 of the prophets,5030 which834 were in the day3117 that the foundation3248 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 was laid,7760 that the temple1964 might be built.1129

10 For before those days and before that time there was no wage for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in because of the oppressor; for behold, I incited all men every one against his neighbor.

10 For before6440 these1992 days3117 there was no3808 hire7939 for man,120 nor369 any hire7939 for beast;929 neither369 was there any peace7965 to him that went3318 out or came935 in because4480 of the affliction:6862 for I set7971 all3605 men120 every one376 against his neighbor.7453

11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in former days, says the LORD of hosts.

11 But now6258 I will not be to the residue7611 of this2088 people5971 as in the former7223 days,3117 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give its fruit and the ground shall yield its increase and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

12 For the seed2233 shall be prosperous;7965 the vine1612 shall give5414 her fruit,6529 and the ground776 shall give5414 her increase,2981 and the heavens8064 shall give5414 their dew;2919 and I will cause the remnant7611 of this2088 people5971 to possess5157 all3605 these428 things.

13 And it shall come to pass that as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing; so let your hands be strong, fear not.

13 And it shall come1961 to pass, that as you were a curse7045 among the heathen,1471 O house1004 of Judah,3063 and house1004 of Israel;3478 so3651 will I save3467 you, and you shall be a blessing:1293 fear3372 not, but let your hands3027 be strong.2388

14 For thus says the LORD of hosts: As I purposed to harm you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I did not relent;

14 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 As I thought2161 to punish7489 you, when your fathers1 provoked me to wrath,7107 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I repented5162 not:

15 So again have I turned and thought in these days to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not.

15 So3651 again7725 have I thought2161 in these428 days3117 to do well3190 to Jerusalem3389 and to the house1004 of Judah:3063 fear3372 you not.

16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth every one to his neighbor; execute the truth, justice, and peace in your gates;

16 These428 are the things that you shall do;6213 Speak1696 you every man376 the truth571 to his neighbor;7453 execute8199 the judgment4941 of truth571 and peace7965 in your gates:8179

17 And let none of you devise evil in your heart against his neighbor; and love no false oaths; for all these are things that I hate, says the LORD of hosts.

17 And let none408 of you imagine evil7451 in your hearts3820 against his neighbor;7453 and love157 no3808 false8267 oath:7621 for all3605 these428 are things that I hate,8130 said5002 the LORD.3068

18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

18 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 came1961 to me, saying,559

19 Thus says the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

19 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 The fast6685 of the fourth7243 month, and the fast6685 of the fifth,2549 and the fast6685 of the seventh,7637 and the fast6685 of the tenth,6224 shall be to the house1004 of Judah3063 joy8342 and gladness,8057 and cheerful2896 feasts;4150 therefore love157 the truth571 and peace.7965

20 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Henceforth there shall yet come people and the inhabitants of many cities;

20 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 It shall yet5750 come935 to pass, that there shall come people,5971 and the inhabitants3427 of many7227 cities:5892

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall come to another, saying, Let us go and pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I will go also.

21 And the inhabitants3427 of one259 city shall go1980 to another,259 saying,559 Let us go3212 speedily1980 to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD,3068 and to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 I will go3212 also.1571

22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the LORD.

22 Yes, many7227 people5971 and strong6099 nations1471 shall come935 to seek1245 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Jerusalem,3389 and to pray2470 before854 6440 the LORD.3068

23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every language shall take hold of the skirt of a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.

23 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 In those1992 days3117 it shall come to pass, that ten6235 men582 shall take2388 hold2388 out of all3605 languages3956 of the nations,1471 even shall take2388 hold2388 of the skirt3671 of him that is a Jew,3064 saying,559 We will go3212 with you: for we have heard8085 that God430 is with you.
