 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, 
 1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 
 1:3 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. 
 1:4 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. 
 1:5 Your fathers, where are they?  and the prophets, do they live for 
  ever? 
 1:6 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. 
 1:7 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, 
 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. 
 1:9 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
 1:10 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. 
 1:11 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. 
 1:12 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? 
 1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words 
  and comfortable words. 
 1:14 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. 
 1:15 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. 
 1:16 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. 
 1:17 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. 
 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 
 1:19 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. 
 1:20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters. 
 1:21 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. 
 2:2 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. 
 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel 
  went out to meet him, 
 2:4 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: 
 2:5 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. 
 2:6 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. 
 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 
 2:8 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. 
 2:9 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. 
 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion:  for, lo, I come, and I will 
  dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 
 2:11 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. 
 2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and 
  shall choose Jerusalem again. 
 2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD:  for he is raised up out of 
  his holy habitation.

 3:1 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. 
 3:2 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? 
 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 
 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. 
 3:5 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. 
 3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 
 3:7 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. 
 3:8 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. 
 3:9 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. 
 3:10 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, 
 4:2 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: 
 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and 
  the other upon the left side thereof. 
 4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What 
  are these, my lord? 
 4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest 
  thou not what these be?  And I said, No, my lord. 
 4:6 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. 
 4:7 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. 
 4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 
 4:9 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. 
 4:10 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. 
 4:11 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? 
 4:12 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? 
 4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be?  And I 
  said, No, my lord. 
 4:14 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. 
 5:2 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. 
 5:3 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. 
 5:4 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. 
 5:5 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. 
 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. 
 5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead:  and this is
  woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 
 5:8 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. 
 5:9 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. 
 5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the 
  ephah? 
 5:11 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. 
 6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black 
  horses; 
 6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled 
  and bay horses. 
 6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are
  these, my lord? 
 6:5 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. 
 6:6 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. 
 6:7 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. 
 6:8 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. 
 6:9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 
 6:10 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; 
 6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the 
  head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 
 6:12 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: 
 6:13 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. 
 6:14 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. 
 6:15 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; 
 7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and 
  their men, to pray before the LORD, 
 7:3 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? 
 7:4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 
 7:5 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? 
 7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for 
  yourselves, and drink for yourselves
 7:7 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? 
 7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 
 7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show 
  mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 
 7:10 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. 
 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped 
  their ears, that they should not hear. 
 7:12 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. 
 7:13 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: 
 7:14 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, 
 8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great 
  jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. 
 8:3 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. 
 8:4 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. 
 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in 
  the streets thereof. 
 8:6 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. 
 8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the 
  east country, and from the west country; 
 8:8 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. 
 8:9 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. 
 8:10 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. 
 8:11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the 
  former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 
 8:12 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
 8:13 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. 
 8:14 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: 
 8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to 
  the house of Judah:  fear ye not. 
 8:16 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: 
 8:17 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. 
 8:18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, 
 8:19 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. 
 8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there 
  shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 
 8:21 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. 
 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of 
  hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. 
 8:23 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. 
 9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be 
  very wise. 
 9:3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the 
  dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 
 9:4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the 
  sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 
 9:5 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. 
 9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the 
  Philistines. 
 9:7 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. 
 9:8 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. 
 9:9 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. 
 9:10 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. 
 9:11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy 
  prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 
 9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope:  even to day do I 
  declare that I will render double unto thee; 
 9:13 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. 
 9:14 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. 
 9:15 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. 
 9:16 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. 
 9:17 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. 
 10:2 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. 
 10:3 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. 
 10:4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the 
  battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 
 10:5 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. 
 10:6 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. 
 10:7 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. 
 10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them:  and 
  they shall increase as they have increased. 
 10:9 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. 
 10:10 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. 
 10:11 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. 
 10:12 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. 
 11:2 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. 
 11:3 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. 
 11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 
 11:5 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. 
 11:6 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
 11:7 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. 
 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, 
  and their soul also abhorred me. 
 11:9 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. 
 11:10 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. 
 11:11 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. 
 11:12 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. 
 11:13 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. 
 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break 
  the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 
 11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a 
  foolish shepherd. 
 11:16 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. 
 11:17 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. 
 12:2 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. 
 12:3 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. 
 12:4 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. 
 12:5 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. 
 12:6 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. 
 12:7 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. 
 12:8 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. 
 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy 
  all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 
 12:10 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. 
 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the 
  mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 
 12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house 
  of David apart, and their wives apart; 
 12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the 
  family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 
 12:14 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. 
 13:2 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. 
 13:3 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. 
 13:4 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: 
 13:5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man 
  taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 
 13:6 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. 
 13:7 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. 
 13:8 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. 
 13:9 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. 
 14:2 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. 
 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when 
  he fought in the day of battle. 
 14:4 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. 
 14:5 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. 
 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be 
  clear, nor dark: 
 14:7 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. 
 14:8 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. 
 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth:  in that day shall there 
  be one LORD, and his name one. 
 14:10 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. 
 14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter 
  destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 
 14:12 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. 
 14:13 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. 
 14:14 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. 
 14:15 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. 
 14:16 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. 
 14:17 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. 
 14:18 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. 
 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all 
  nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 
 14:20 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. 
 14:21 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.
