Zechariah 1:1

1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo:

Zechariah 1:3

3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the LORD Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 1:4

4 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD.

Zechariah 1:6

6 But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors? “Then they repented and said, ‘The LORD Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’ ”

Zechariah 1:7

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo.

Zechariah 1:9

9 I asked, “What are these, my lord?” The angel who was talking with me answered, “I will show you what they are.”

Zechariah 1:10

10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to go throughout the earth.”

Zechariah 1:11

11 And they reported to the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace.”

Zechariah 1:12

12 Then the angel of the LORD said, “LORD Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?”

Zechariah 1:14

14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,

Zechariah 1:16

16 “Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem,’ declares the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 1:17

17 “Proclaim further: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’ ”

Zechariah 1:19

19 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.”

Zechariah 1:21

21 I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He answered, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people.”

Zechariah 2:2

2 I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”

Zechariah 2:4

4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it.

Zechariah 2:8

8 For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—

Zechariah 3:2

2 The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”

Zechariah 3:4

4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”

Zechariah 3:5

5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.

Zechariah 3:6

6 The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

Zechariah 3:7

7 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.

Zechariah 4:2

2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps.

Zechariah 4:4

4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

Zechariah 4:5

5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I replied.

Zechariah 4:6

6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 4:8

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:

Zechariah 4:11

11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”

Zechariah 4:12

12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”

Zechariah 4:13

13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.

Zechariah 4:14

14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”

Zechariah 5:2

2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide. ”

Zechariah 5:3

3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.

Zechariah 5:5

5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

Zechariah 5:6

6 I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”

Zechariah 5:8

8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.

Zechariah 5:10

10 “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.

Zechariah 5:11

11 He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

Zechariah 6:4

4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”

Zechariah 6:5

5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

Zechariah 6:7

7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.

Zechariah 6:8

8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”

Zechariah 6:9

9 The word of the LORD came to me:

Zechariah 6:12

12 Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.

Zechariah 7:3

3 by asking the priests of the house of the LORD Almighty and the prophets, “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”

Zechariah 7:4

4 Then the word of the LORD Almighty came to me:

Zechariah 7:5

5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted?

Zechariah 7:8

8 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah:

Zechariah 7:9

9 “This is what the LORD Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.

Zechariah 7:13

13 “ ‘When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,’ says the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 8:1

1 The word of the LORD Almighty came to me.

Zechariah 8:2

2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.”

Zechariah 8:3

3 This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.”

Zechariah 8:4

4 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each of them with cane in hand because of their age.

Zechariah 8:6

6 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me?” declares the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 8:7

7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.

Zechariah 8:9

9 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Now hear these words, ‘Let your hands be strong so that the temple may be built.’ This is also what the prophets said who were present when the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 8:14

14 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Just as I had determined to bring disaster on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,” says the LORD Almighty,

Zechariah 8:18

18 The word of the LORD Almighty came to me.

Zechariah 8:19

19 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.”

Zechariah 8:20

20 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come,

Zechariah 8:21

21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.’

Zechariah 8:23

23 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’ ”

Zechariah 11:4

4 This is what the LORD my God says: “Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.

Zechariah 11:5

5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the LORD, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them.

Zechariah 11:9

9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.”

Zechariah 11:12

12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.

Zechariah 11:13

13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD.

Zechariah 11:15

15 Then the LORD said to me, “Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

Zechariah 12:5

5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.’

Zechariah 13:3

3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.

Zechariah 13:5

5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth. ’

Zechariah 13:6

6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body ?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’

Zechariah 13:9

9 This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ”
