Zechariah
1.1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of YHVH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
1.2 YHVH was angry with your fathers.
1.3 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith YHVH of hosts; Return unto me, saith YHVH of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith YHVH of hosts.
1.4 Be not like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith YHVH of hosts, Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; for they hearkened not, nor hearkened unto me, saith YHVH.
1.5 Where are your fathers? And the prophets, who live forever?
1.6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did not your fathers overtake? And they returned and said, As YHVH of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he done unto us.
1.7 On the twenty-fourth day of the tenth month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of YHVH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
1.8 I saw at night, and behold, a man riding on a human horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees in the field, and behind him were red horses, bleating and white.
1.9 And I said, What are these, my lord? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these are.
1.10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom YHVH hath sent to walk to and fro in the earth.
1.11 And they answered the angel of YHVH that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked through the land, and, behold, all the land is still and quiet.
1.12 And the angel of YHVH answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against whom thou hast had indignation these seventy years?
1.13 And YHVH answered the angel, saying, Good things, and comforting things,
1.14 And the angel that spake unto me said, Thus saith YHVH of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
1.15 And I will be very angry with the complacent nations, whom I have angered a little, and they have helped to do evil.
1.16 Therefore thus saith YHVH; I will return to Jerusalem with mercies. my house shall be built in it, saith YHVH of hosts; and hope shall be established upon Jerusalem.
1.17 And he cried again, saying, Thus saith YHVH of hosts; YHVH shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
2.1 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, four horns.
2.2 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
2.3 And YHVH showed me four deaf men.
2.4 And he said, What come these to do? And he said, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head. and these are come to terrify the nations with the horns of the nations that lift up the horn into the land of Judah to sojourn there.
2.5 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2.6 And he said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, Measure Jerusalem, to see how broad it is, and how long it is.

4.11 And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the branch thereof?
