* BOOK38 ZECHARIAH
= CHAPTER 1 
# 1 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,
# 2 THE LORD HATH BEEN SORE DISPLEASED WITH YOUR FATHERS.
# 3 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.
# 4 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.
# 5 YOUR FATHERS, WHERE ARE THEY? AND THE PROPHETS, DO THEY LIVE FOR EVER?
# 6 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.
# 7 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,
# 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.
= CHAPTER 2 
# 1 I LIFTED UP MINE EYES AGAIN, AND LOOKED, AND BEHOLD A MAN WITH A MEASURING
 LINE IN HIS HAND.
# 2 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.
# 3 AND, BEHOLD, THE ANGEL THAT TALKED WITH ME WENT FORTH, AND ANOTHER ANGEL
 WENT OUT TO MEET HIM,
# 4 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:
# 5 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.
# 6 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.
# 7 DELIVER THYSELF, O ZION, THAT DWELLEST WITH THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON.
# 8 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.
# 9 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.
# 10 SING AND REJOICE, O DAUGHTER OF ZION: FOR, LO, I COME, AND I WILL DWELL
 IN THE MIDST OF THEE, SAITH THE LORD.
# 11 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.
# 12 AND THE LORD SHALL INHERIT JUDAH HIS PORTION IN THE HOLY LAND, AND SHALL
 CHOOSE JERUSALEM AGAIN.
# 13 BE SILENT, O ALL FLESH, BEFORE THE LORD: FOR HE IS RAISED UP OUT OF HIS
 HOLY HABITATION.
= CHAPTER 3 
# 1 AND HE SHEWED ME JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST STANDING BEFORE THE ANGEL OF THE
 LORD, AND SATAN STANDING AT HIS RIGHT HAND TO RESIST HIM.
# 2 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?
# 3 NOW JOSHUA WAS CLOTHED WITH FILTHY GARMENTS, AND STOOD BEFORE THE ANGEL.
# 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.
# 6 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD PROTESTED UNTO JOSHUA, SAYING,
# 7 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.
# 8 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.
# 9 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.
# 10 IN THAT DAY, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, SHALL YE CALL EVERY MAN HIS
 NEIGHBOUR UNDER THE VINE AND UNDER THE FIG TREE.
= CHAPTER 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.
= CHAPTER 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.
# 5 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.
# 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.
= CHAPTER 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.
# 9 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 10 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;
# 11 THEN TAKE SILVER AND GOLD, AND MAKE CROWNS, AND SET THEM UPON THE HEAD
 OF JOSHUA THE SON OF JOSEDECH, THE HIGH PRIEST;
# 12 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:
# 13 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.
# 14 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.
# 15 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.
= CHAPTER 7 
# 1 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;
# 2 WHEN THEY HAD SENT UNTO THE HOUSE OF GOD SHEREZER AND REGEMMELECH, AND
 THEIR MEN, TO PRAY BEFORE THE LORD,
# 3 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?
# 4 THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 5 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?
# 6 AND WHEN YE DID EAT, AND WHEN YE DID DRINK, DID NOT YE EAT FOR
 YOURSELVES, AND DRINK FOR YOURSELVES?
# 7 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?
# 8 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ZECHARIAH, SAYING,
# 9 THUS SPEAKETH THE LORD OF HOSTS, SAYING, EXECUTE TRUE JUDGMENT, AND SHEW
 MERCY AND COMPASSIONS EVERY MAN TO HIS BROTHER:
# 10 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.
# 11 BUT THEY REFUSED TO HEARKEN, AND PULLED AWAY THE SHOULDER, AND STOPPED
 THEIR EARS, THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HEAR.
# 12 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.
# 13 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:
# 14 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.
= CHAPTER 8 
# 1 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS CAME TO ME, SAYING,
# 2 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; I WAS JEALOUS FOR ZION WITH GREAT JEALOUSY,
 AND I WAS JEALOUS FOR HER WITH GREAT FURY.
# 3 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.
# 4 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.
# 5 AND THE STREETS OF THE CITY SHALL BE FULL OF BOYS AND GIRLS PLAYING IN
 THE STREETS THEREOF.
# 6 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.
# 7 THUS SAITH 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 THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM:
 AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, IN TRUTH AND IN
 RIGHTEOUSNESS.
# 9 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.
# 10 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.
# 11 BUT NOW I WILL NOT BE UNTO THE RESIDUE OF THIS PEOPLE AS IN THE FORMER
 DAYS, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.
# 12 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.
# 13 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.
# 14 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:
# 15 SO AGAIN HAVE I THOUGHT IN THESE DAYS TO DO WELL UNTO JERUSALEM AND TO
 THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: FEAR YE NOT.
# 16 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: IT
# 17 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.
# 18 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 19 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.
# 20 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; IT SHALL YET COME TO PASS, THAT THERE
 SHALL COME PEOPLE, AND THE INHABITANTS OF MANY CITIES:
# 21 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.
# 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 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.
= CHAPTER 9 
# 1 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.
# 2 AND HAMATH ALSO SHALL BORDER THEREBY; TYRUS, AND ZIDON, THOUGH IT BE VERY
 WISE.
# 3 AND TYRUS DID BUILD HERSELF A STRONG HOLD, AND HEAPED UP SILVER AS THE
 DUST, AND FINE GOLD AS THE MIRE OF THE STREETS.
# 4 BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL CAST HER OUT, AND HE WILL SMITE HER POWER IN THE
 SEA; AND SHE SHALL BE DEVOURED WITH FIRE.
# 5 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.
# 6 AND A BASTARD SHALL DWELL IN ASHDOD, AND I WILL CUT OFF THE PRIDE OF THE
 PHILISTINES.
# 7 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.
# 8 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.
# 9 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.
# 10 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.
# 11 AS FOR THEE ALSO, BY THE BLOOD OF THY COVENANT I HAVE SENT FORTH THY
 PRISONERS OUT OF THE PIT WHEREIN IS NO WATER.
# 12 TURN YOU TO THE STRONG HOLD, YE PRISONERS OF HOPE: EVEN TO DAY DO I
 DECLARE THAT I WILL RENDER DOUBLE UNTO THEE;
# 13 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.
# 14 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.
# 15 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.
# 16 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.
# 17 FOR HOW GREAT IS HIS GOODNESS, AND HOW GREAT IS HIS BEAUTY! CORN SHALL
 MAKE THE YOUNG MEN CHEERFUL, AND NEW WINE THE MAIDS.
= CHAPTER 10 
# 1 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.
# 2 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.
# 3 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.
# 4 OUT OF HIM CAME FORTH THE CORNER, OUT OF HIM THE NAIL, OUT OF HIM THE
 BATTLE BOW, OUT OF HIM EVERY OPPRESSOR TOGETHER.
# 5 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.
# 6 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.
# 7 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.
# 8 I WILL HISS FOR THEM, AND GATHER THEM; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEM: AND THEY
 SHALL INCREASE AS THEY HAVE INCREASED.
# 9 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.
# 10 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.
# 11 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.
# 12 AND I WILL STRENGTHEN THEM IN THE LORD; AND THEY SHALL WALK UP AND DOWN
 IN HIS NAME, SAITH THE LORD.
= CHAPTER 11 
# 1 OPEN THY DOORS, O LEBANON, THAT THE FIRE MAY DEVOUR THY CEDARS.
# 2 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.
# 3 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.
# 4 THUS SAITH THE LORD MY GOD; FEED THE FLOCK OF THE SLAUGHTER;
# 5 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.
# 6 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 NEIGHBOURS HAND, AND INTO THE
 HAND OF HIS KING: AND THEY SHALL SMITE THE LAND, AND OUT OF THEIR HAND I WILL
 NOT DELIVER THEM.
# 7 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.
# 8 THREE SHEPHERDS ALSO I CUT OFF IN ONE MONTH; AND MY SOUL LOTHED THEM, AND
 THEIR SOUL ALSO ABHORRED ME.
# 9 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.
# 10 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.
# 11 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.
# 12 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.
# 13 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.
# 14 THEN I CUT ASUNDER MINE OTHER STAFF, EVEN BANDS, THAT I MIGHT BREAK THE
 BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN JUDAH AND ISRAEL.
# 15 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, TAKE UNTO THEE YET THE INSTRUMENTS OF A
 FOOLISH SHEPHERD.
# 16 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.
# 17 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.
= CHAPTER 12 
# 1 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.
# 2 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.
# 3 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.
# 4 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.
# 5 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.
# 6 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.
# 7 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.
# 8 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.
# 9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT I WILL SEEK TO DESTROY ALL
 THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM.
# 10 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.
# 11 IN THAT DAY SHALL THERE BE A GREAT MOURNING IN JERUSALEM, AS THE
 MOURNING OF HADADRIMMON IN THE VALLEY OF MEGIDDON.
# 12 AND THE LAND SHALL MOURN, EVERY FAMILY APART; THE FAMILY OF THE HOUSE OF
 DAVID APART, AND THEIR WIVES APART; THE FAMILY OF THE HOUSE OF NATHAN APART,
 AND THEIR WIVES APART;
# 13 THE FAMILY OF THE HOUSE OF LEVI APART, AND THEIR WIVES APART; THE FAMILY
 OF SHIMEI APART, AND THEIR WIVES APART;
# 14 ALL THE FAMILIES THAT REMAIN, EVERY FAMILY APART, AND THEIR WIVES APART.
= CHAPTER 13 
# 1 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.
# 2 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.
# 3 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.
# 4 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:
# 5 BUT HE SHALL SAY, I AM NO PROPHET, I AM AN HUSBANDMAN; FOR MAN TAUGHT ME
 TO KEEP CATTLE FROM MY YOUTH.
# 6 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.
# 7 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.
# 8 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.
# 9 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.
= CHAPTER 14 
# 1 BEHOLD, THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, AND THY SPOIL SHALL BE DIVIDED IN THE
 MIDST OF THEE.
# 2 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.
# 3 THEN SHALL THE LORD GO FORTH, AND FIGHT AGAINST THOSE NATIONS, AS WHEN HE
 FOUGHT IN THE DAY OF BATTLE.
# 4 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.
# 5 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.
# 6 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT THE LIGHT SHALL NOT BE CLEAR,
 NOR DARK: IT
# 7 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.
# 8 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.
# 9 AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH: IN THAT DAY SHALL THERE BE
 ONE LORD, AND HIS NAME ONE.
# 10 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
 BENJAMINS GATE UNTO THE PLACE OF THE FIRST GATE, UNTO THE CORNER GATE, AND
 FROM THE TOWER OF HANANEEL UNTO THE KINGS WINEPRESSES.
# 11 AND MEN SHALL DWELL IN IT, AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE UTTER DESTRUCTION;
 BUT JERUSALEM SHALL BE SAFELY INHABITED.
# 12 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.
# 13 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.
# 14 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.
# 15 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.
# 16 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.
# 17 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.
# 18 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.
# 19 THIS SHALL BE THE PUNISHMENT OF EGYPT, AND THE PUNISHMENT OF ALL NATIONS
 THAT COME NOT UP TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
# 20 IN THAT DAY SHALL THERE BE UPON THE BELLS OF THE HORSES, HOLINESS UNTO
 THE LORD; AND THE POTS IN THE LORDS HOUSE SHALL BE LIKE THE BOWLS BEFORE THE
 ALTAR.
# 21 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.
