11 In the eighth month in the second year of Darius came the
word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah the son of
Iddo the prophet saying .
12 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers .
13 Therefore say thou unto them Thus saith the LORD of hosts
Turn ye unto me saith the LORD of hosts and I will turn unto you
saith the LORD of hosts .
14 Be ye not as your fathers unto whom the former prophets
have cried saying Thus saith the LORD of hosts Turn ye now from
your evil ways and from your evil doings but they did not hear
nor hearken unto me saith the LORD .
15 Your fathers where are they and the prophets do they live
for ever .
16 But my words and my statutes which I commanded my servants
the prophets did they not take hold of your fathers and they
returned and said Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto
us according to our ways and according to our doings so hath he
dealt with us .
17 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month which
is the month Sebat in the second year of Darius came the word of
the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah the son of Iddo the
prophet saying .
18 I saw by 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 were there red horses speckled and white .
19 Then said I O my lord what are these And the angel that
talked with me said unto me I will show thee what these be .
110 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and
said These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro
through the earth .
111 And they answered the angel of the 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 .
112 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said O LORD 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 .
113 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with
good words and comfortable words .
114 So the angel that communed with me said unto me Cry thou
saying Thus saith the LORD of hosts I am jealous for Jerusalem
and for Zion with a great jealousy .
115 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at
ease for I was but a little displeased and they helped forward
the affliction .
116 Therefore thus saith the LORD I am returned to Jerusalem
with mercies my house shall be built in it saith the LORD of
hosts and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem .
117 Cry yet saying Thus saith the LORD of hosts My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad and the LORD shall
yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem .
118 Then lifted I up mine eyes and saw and behold four horns .
119 And I said unto the angel that talked with me What be
these And he answered me These are the horns which have
scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem .
120 And the LORD showed me four carpenters .
121 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 fray them to cast out
the horns of the Gentiles which lifted up their horn over the
land of Judah to scatter it .
* 21 I lifted up mine eyes again and looked and behold a man
with a measuring line in his hand .
22 Then said I Whither goest thou And he said unto me To
measure Jerusalem to see what is the breadth thereof and what is
the length thereof .
23 And behold the angel that talked with me went forth and
another angel went out to meet him .
24 And said unto him Run speak to this young man saying
Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the
multitude of men and cattle therein .
25 For I saith the LORD will be unto her a wall of fire round
about and will be the glory in the midst of her .
26 Ho ho come forth and flee from the land of the north saith
the LORD for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
heaven saith the LORD .
27 Deliver thyself O Zion that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon .
28 For thus saith the LORD of hosts After the glory hath he
sent me unto the nations which spoiled you for he that toucheth
you toucheth the apple of his eye .
29 For behold I will shake mine hand upon them and they shall
be a spoil to their servants and ye shall know that the LORD of
hosts hath sent me .
210 Sing and rejoice O daughter of Zion for lo I come and I
will dwell in the midst of thee saith the LORD .
211 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day
and shall be my people and I will dwell in the midst of thee and
thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee .
212 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy
land and shall choose Jerusalem again .
213 Be silent O all flesh before the LORD for he is raised up
out of his holy habitation .
* 31 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before
the angel of the LORD and Satan standing at his right hand to
resist him .
32 And the LORD said unto Satan The LORD rebuke thee O Satan
even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee is not this
a brand plucked out of the fire .
33 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stood
before the angel .
34 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him
saying Take away the filthy garments from him And unto him he
said Behold I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee and I
will clothe thee with change of raiment .
35 And I said Let them set a fair mitre upon his head So they
set a fair mitre upon his head and clothed him with garments And
the angel of the LORD stood by .
36 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua saying .
37 Thus saith the LORD of hosts If thou wilt walk in my ways
and if thou wilt keep my charge then thou shalt also judge my
house and shalt also keep my courts and I will give thee places
to walk among these that stand by .
38 Hear now O Joshua the high priest thou and thy fellows that
sit before thee for they are men wondered at for behold I will
bring forth my servant the BRANCH .
39 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua upon
one stone shall be seven eyes behold I will engrave the graving
thereof saith the LORD of hosts and I will remove the iniquity
of that land in one day .
310 In that day saith the LORD of hosts shall ye call every
man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree .
* 41 And the angel that talked with me came again and waked me
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep .
42 And said unto me What seest thou And I said I have looked
and behold a candlestick all of gold with a bowl upon the top of
it and his seven lamps thereon and seven pipes to the seven
lamps which are upon the top thereof .
43 And two olive trees by it one upon the right side of the
bowl and the other upon the left side thereof .
44 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me
saying What are these my lord .
45 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto
me Knowest thou not what these be And I said No my lord .
46 Then he answered and spake unto me saying This is the word
of the LORD unto Zerubbabel saying Not by might nor by power but
by my spirit saith the LORD of hosts .
47 Who art thou O great mountain before Zerubbabel thou shalt
become a plain and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof
with shoutings crying Grace grace unto it .
48 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me saying .
49 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this
house his hands shall also finish it and thou shalt know that
the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you .
410 For who hath despised the day of small things for they
shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of
Zerubbabel with those seven they are the eyes of the LORD which
run to and fro through the whole earth .
411 Then answered I and said unto him What are these two olive
trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left
side thereof .
412 And I answered again and said unto him What be these two
olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the
golden oil out of themselves .
413 And he answered me and said Knowest thou not what these be
And I said No my lord .
414 Then said he These are the two anointed ones that stand by
the Lord of the whole earth .
* 51 Then I turned and lifted up mine eyes and looked and
behold a flying roll .
52 And he said unto me What seest thou And I answered I see a
flying roll the length thereof is twenty cubits and the breadth
thereof ten cubits .
53 Then said he unto me This is the curse that goeth forth
over the face of the whole earth for every one that stealeth
shall be cut off as on this side according to it and every one
that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it .
54 I will bring it forth saith the 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 remain in the midst of
his house and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the
stones thereof .
55 Then the angel that talked with me went forth and said unto
me Lift up now thine eyes and see what is this that goeth forth .
56 And I said What is it And he said This is an ephah that
goeth forth He said moreover This is their resemblance through
all the earth .
57 And behold there was lifted up a talent of lead and this is
a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah .
58 And he said This is wickedness And he cast it into the
midst of the ephah and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth
thereof .
59 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked and behold there came
out two women and the wind was in their wings for they had wings
like the wings of a stork and they lifted up the ephah between
the earth and the heaven .
510 Then said I to the angel that talked with me Whither do
these bear the ephah .
511 And he said unto me To build it an house in the land of
Shinar and it shall be established and set there upon her own
base .
* 61 And I turned and lifted up mine eyes and looked and behold
there came four chariots out from between two mountains and the
mountains were mountains of brass .
62 In the first chariot were red horses and in the second
chariot black horses .
63 And in the third chariot white horses and in the fourth
chariot grisled and bay horses .
64 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me
What are these my lord .
65 And the angel answered and said unto me These are the four
spirits of the heavens which go forth from standing before the
Lord of all the earth .
66 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north
country and the white go forth after them and the grisled go
forth toward the south country .
67 And the bay went forth and sought to go that they might
walk to and fro through the earth and he said Get you hence walk
to and fro through the earth So they walked to and fro through
the earth .
68 Then cried he upon me and spake unto me saying Behold these
that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the
north country .
69 And the word of the LORD came unto me saying .
610 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 .
611 Then take silver and gold and make crowns and set them
upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech the high priest .
612 And speak unto him saying Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts
saying Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH and he shall grow
up out of his place and he shall build the temple of the LORD .
613 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD 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 .
614 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 the LORD .
615 And they that are far off shall come and build in the
temple of the LORD and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath
sent me unto you And this shall come to pass if ye will
diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God .
* 71 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius that
the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of
the ninth month even in Chisleu .
72 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and
Regemmelech and their men to pray before the LORD .
73 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of
the LORD of hosts and to the prophets saying Should I weep in
the fifth month separating myself as I have done these so many
years .
74 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me saying .
75 Speak unto all the people of the land and to the priests
saying When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month
even those seventy years did ye at all fast unto me even to me .
76 And when ye did eat and when ye did drink did not ye eat
for yourselves and drink for yourselves .
77 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by
the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in
prosperity and the cities thereof round about her when men
inhabited the south and the plain .
78 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah saying .
79 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts saying Execute true
judgment and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother
.
710 And oppress not the widow nor the fatherless the stranger
nor the poor and let none of you imagine evil against his
brother in your heart .
711 But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder
and stopped their ears that they should not hear .
712 Yea they made their hearts as an adamant stone lest they
should hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts hath
sent in his spirit by the former prophets therefore came a great
wrath from the LORD of hosts .
713 Therefore it is come to pass that as he cried and they
would not hear so they cried and I would not hear saith the LORD
of hosts .
714 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the
nations whom they knew not Thus the land was desolate after them
that no man passed through nor returned for they laid the
pleasant land desolate .
* 81 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me saying .
82 Thus saith the LORD of hosts I was jealous for Zion with
great jealousy and I was jealous for her with great fury .
83 Thus saith the LORD I am returned unto Zion and will dwell
in the midst of Jerusalem and Jerusalem shall be called a city
of truth and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain
.
84 Thus saith the LORD of hosts There shall yet old men and
old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem and every man with
his staff in his hand for very age .
85 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls
playing in the streets thereof .
86 Thus saith the LORD of hosts If it be marvellous in the
eyes of the remnant of this people in these days should it also
be marvellous in mine eyes saith the LORD of hosts .
87 Thus saith the LORD of hosts Behold I will save my people
from the east country and from the west country .
88 And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of
Jerusalem and they shall be my people and I will be their God in
truth and in righteousness .
89 Thus saith the LORD of hosts Let your hands be strong ye
that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets
which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the
LORD of hosts was laid that the temple might be built .
810 For before these days there was no hire for man nor any
hire for beast neither was there any peace to him that went out
or came in because of the affliction for I set all men every one
against his neighbour .
811 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as
in the former days saith the LORD of hosts .
812 For the seed shall be prosperous the vine shall give her
fruit and the ground shall give her increase and the heavens
shall give their dew and I will cause the remnant of this people
to possess all these things .
813 And it shall come to pass that as ye were a curse among
the heathen O house of Judah and house of Israel so will I save
you and ye shall be a blessing fear not but let your hands be
strong .
814 For thus saith the LORD of hosts As I thought to punish
you when your fathers provoked me to wrath saith the LORD of
hosts and I repented not .
815 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto
Jerusalem and to the house of Judah fear ye not .
816 These are the things that ye shall do Speak ye every man
the truth to his neighbour execute the judgment of truth and
peace in your gates .
817 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against
his neighbour and love no false oath for all these are things
that I hate saith the LORD .
818 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me saying .
819 Thus saith 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 .
820 Thus saith the LORD of hosts It shall yet come to pass
that there shall come people and the inhabitants of many cities .
821 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another saying
Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD
of hosts I will go also .
822 Yea many people and strong nations shall come to seek the
LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the LORD .
823 Thus saith the LORD of hosts In those days it shall come
to pass that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the
nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew
saying We will go with you for we have heard that God is with
you .
* 91 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach
and Damascus shall be the rest thereof when the eyes of man as
of all the tribes of Israel shall be toward the LORD .
92 And Hamath also shall border thereby Tyrus and Zidon though
it be very wise .
93 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold and heaped up
silver as the dust and fine gold as the mire of the streets .
94 Behold the Lord will cast her out and he will smite her
power in the sea and she shall be devoured with fire .
95 Ashkelon shall see it and fear Gaza also shall see it and
be very sorrowful and Ekron for her expectation shall be ashamed
and the king shall perish from Gaza and Ashkelon shall not be
inhabited .
96 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod and I will cut off the
pride of the Philistines .
97 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth and his
abominations from between his teeth but he that remaineth even
he shall be for our God and he shall be as a governor in Judah
and Ekron as a Jebusite .
98 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army
because of him that passeth by and because of him that returneth
and no oppressor shall pass through them any more for now have I
seen with mine eyes .
99 Rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion shout O daughter of
Jerusalem behold thy King cometh unto thee he is just and having
salvation lowly and riding upon an ass and upon a colt the foal
of an ass .
910 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse
from Jerusalem and the battle bow shall be cut off and he shall
speak peace unto the heathen and his dominion shall be from sea
even to sea and from the river even to the ends of the earth .
911 As for thee also by the blood of thy covenant I have sent
forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water .
912 Turn you to the strong hold ye prisoners of hope even to
day do I declare that I will render double unto thee .
913 When I have bent Judah for me filled the bow with Ephraim
and raised up thy sons O Zion against thy sons O Greece and made
thee as the sword of a mighty man .
914 And the LORD shall be seen over them and his arrow shall
go forth as the lightning and the Lord GOD shall blow the
trumpet and shall go with whirlwinds of the south .
915 The LORD of hosts shall defend them and they shall devour
and subdue with sling stones and they shall drink and make a
noise as through wine and they shall be filled like bowls and as
the corners of the altar .
916 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the
flock of his people for they shall be as the stones of a crown
lifted up as an ensign upon his land .
917 For how great is his goodness and how great is his beauty
corn shall make the young men cheerful and new wine the maids .
* 101 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain so
the LORD shall make bright clouds and give them showers of rain
to every one grass in the field .
102 For the idols have spoken vanity and the diviners have
seen a lie and have told false dreams they comfort in vain
therefore they went their way as a flock they were troubled
because there was no shepherd .
103 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds and I
punished the goats for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock
the house of Judah and hath made them as his goodly horse in the
battle .
104 Out of him came forth the corner out of him the nail out
of him the battle bow out of him every oppressor together .
105 And they shall be as mighty men which tread down their
enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle and they shall
fight because the LORD is with them and the riders on horses
shall be confounded .
106 And I will strengthen the house of Judah and I will save
the house of Joseph and I will bring them again to place them
for I have mercy upon them and they shall be as though I had not
cast them off for I am the LORD their God and will hear them .
107 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man and their
heart shall rejoice as through wine yea their children shall see
it and be glad their heart shall rejoice in the LORD .
108 I will hiss for them and gather them for I have redeemed
them and they shall increase as they have increased .
109 And I will sow them among the people and they shall
remember me in far countries and they shall live with their
children and turn again .
1010 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt and
gather them out of Assyria and I will bring them into the land
of Gilead and Lebanon and place shall not be found for them .
1011 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction and
shall smite the waves in the sea and all the deeps of the river
shall dry up and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down and
the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away .
1012 And I will strengthen them in the LORD and they shall
walk up and down in his name saith the LORD .
* 111 Open thy doors O Lebanon that the fire may devour thy
cedars .
112 Howl fir tree for the cedar is fallen because the mighty
are spoiled howl O ye oaks of Bashan for the forest of the
vintage is come down .
113 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds for their
glory is spoiled a voice of the roaring of young lions for the
pride of Jordan is spoiled .
114 Thus saith the LORD my God Feed the flock of the slaughter
.
115 Whose possessors slay them and hold themselves not guilty
and they that sell them say Blessed be the LORD for I am rich
and their own shepherds pity them not .
116 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land saith
the LORD but lo I will deliver the men every one into his
neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king and they shall
smite the land and out of their hand I will not deliver them .
117 And I will feed the flock of slaughter even you O poor of
the flock And I took unto me two staves the one I called Beauty
and the other I called Bands and I fed the flock .
118 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month and my soul
loathed them and their soul also abhorred me .
119 Then said I I will not feed you that that dieth let it die
and that that is to be cut off let it be cut off and let the
rest eat every one the flesh of another .
1110 And I took my staff even Beauty and cut it asunder that I
might break my covenant which I had made with all the people .
1111 And it was broken in that day and so the poor of the
flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD .
1112 And I said unto them If ye think good give me my price
and if not forbear So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of
silver .
1113 And the LORD said unto me Cast it unto the potter a
goodly price that I was prised at of them And I took the thirty
pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the
LORD .
1114 Then I cut asunder mine other staff even Bands that I
might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel .
1115 And the LORD said unto me Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd .
1116 For lo I will raise up a shepherd in the land which shall
not visit those that be cut off neither shall seek the young one
nor heal that that is broken nor feed that that standeth still
but he shall eat the flesh of the fat and tear their claws in
pieces .
1117 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock the sword
shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye his arm shall be
clean dried up and his right eye shall be utterly darkened .
* 121 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel saith the
LORD which stretcheth forth the heavens and layeth the
foundation of the earth and formeth the spirit of man within him
.
122 Behold I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all
the people round about when they shall be in the siege both
against Judah and against Jerusalem .
123 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone
for all people all that burden themselves with it shall be cut
in pieces though all the people of the earth be gathered
together against it .
124 In that day saith the LORD I will smite every horse with
astonishment and his rider with madness and I will open mine
eyes upon the house of Judah and will smite every horse of the
people with blindness .
125 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart The
inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of
hosts their God .
126 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an
hearth of fire among the wood and like a torch of fire in a
sheaf and they shall devour all the people round about on the
right hand and on the left and Jerusalem shall be inhabited
again in her own place even in Jerusalem .
127 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first that the
glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of
Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah .
128 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of
Jerusalem and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be
as David and the house of David shall be as God as the angel of
the LORD before them .
129 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to
destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem .
1210 And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the
inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of
supplications and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced
and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son
and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn .
1211 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem
as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon .
1212 And the land shall mourn every family apart the family of
the house of David apart and their wives apart .
1213 The family of the house of Levi apart and their wives
apart the family of Shimei apart and their wives apart .
1214 All the families that remain every family apart and their
wives apart .
* 131 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house
of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness .
132 And it shall come to pass in that day saith the LORD of
hosts that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land
and they shall no more be remembered and also I will cause the
prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land .
133 And it shall come to pass that when any shall yet prophesy
then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him
Thou shalt not live for thou speakest lies in the name of the
LORD and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust
him through when he prophesieth .
134 And it shall come to pass in that day that the prophets
shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he hath prophesied
neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive .
135 But he shall say I am no prophet I am an husbandman for
man taught me to keep cattle from my youth .
136 And one shall say unto him What are these wounds in thine
hands Then he shall answer Those with which I was wounded in the
house of my friends .
137 Awake O sword against my shepherd and against the man that
is my fellow saith the LORD of hosts smite the shepherd and the
sheep shall be scattered and I will turn mine hand upon the
little ones .
138 And it shall come to pass that in all the land saith the
LORD two parts therein shall be cut off and die but the third
shall be left therein .
139 And I will bring the third part through the fire and will
refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is
tried they shall call on my name and I will hear them I will say
It is my people and they shall say The LORD is my God .
* 141 Behold the day of the LORD cometh and thy spoil shall be
divided in the midst of thee .
142 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle
and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women
ravished and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and
the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city .
143 Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those
nations as when he fought in the day of battle .
144 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of
Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east and the mount of
Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and
toward the west and there shall be a very great valley and half
of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it
toward the south .
145 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains for the
valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal yea ye shall flee
like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah
king of Judah and the LORD my God shall come and all the saints
with thee .
146 And it shall come to pass in that day that the light shall
not be clear nor dark .
147 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD
not day nor night but it shall come to pass that at evening time
it shall be light .
148 And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go
out from Jerusalem half of them toward the former sea and half
of them toward the hinder sea in summer and in winter shall it
be .
149 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth in that day
shall there be one LORD and his name one .
1410 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
Rimmon south of Jerusalem and it shall be lifted up and
inhabited in her place from Benjamin's gate unto the place of
the first gate unto the corner gate and from the tower of
Hananeel unto the king's winepresses .
1411 And men shall dwell in it and there shall be no more
utter destruction but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited .
1412 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem Their
flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet and
their eyes shall consume away in their holes and their tongue
shall consume away in their mouth .
1413 And it shall come to pass in that day that a great tumult
from the LORD shall be among them and they shall lay hold every
one on the hand of his neighbour and his hand shall rise up
against the hand of his neighbour .
1414 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem and the wealth of
all the heathen round about shall be gathered together gold and
silver and apparel in great abundance .
1415 And so shall be the plague of the horse of the mule of
the camel and of the ass and of all the beasts that shall be in
these tents as this plague .
1416 And it shall come to pass that every one that is left of
all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up
from year to year to worship the King the LORD of hosts and to
keep the feast of tabernacles .
1417 And it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the
families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King the
LORD of hosts even upon them shall be no rain .
1418 And if the family of Egypt go not up and come not that
have no rain there shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles .
1419 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment
of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles
.
1420 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be
like the bowls before the altar .
1421 Yea every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness
unto the LORD of hosts and all they that sacrifice shall come
and take of them and seethe therein and in that day there shall
be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts .
