Zechariah 1:1-14:21 (KJV)  
    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. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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 Regem-melech, 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. 
    [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: [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. 
    [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 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. 
    [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. 
    [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
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. [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. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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: [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 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. [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 Lord's 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.
