Zechariah 1:8 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.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with
me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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?
13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and
comfortable words.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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.
18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 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.
20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
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 fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which
lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Zechariah 3:4 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.
5 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.
Zechariah 4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me,
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 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:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What
are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest
thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 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.
10 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.
11 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?
12 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?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said,
No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord
of the whole earth.
Zechariah 5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold
a flying roll.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
Zechariah 5:6 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.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman
that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 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.
9 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.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the
ephah?
11 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.
Zechariah 6:1 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.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black
horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled
and bay horses.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are
these, my lord?
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
