And you shall say to them, Thus says of the forces, Turn to me, says of the forces! and I shall be turned towards you, says of the forces.
And do not become as your fathers! ones whom accused the ones beforehand saying, Thus says of the forces, Turn from ways and from practices And they did not listen , and did not take heed to listen to me, says
Your fathers, where are they and the prophets, into
Furthermore my words as many as I give charge by my spirit my servants the prophets, the ones overtaking your fathers? And they answered and said, As deployed to do to us according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he did to us.
On the fourth and twentieth day in the eleventh month, this is the month Shebat, in the second year unto Darius, came to pass of the lord to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
I saw the night, and behold, a man having mounted horse and this one stood in the midst of the mountains and behind him horses and white, and spotted.
And I said, What O lord? And said the one speaking to me, I will show to you what these are.
And answered the one standing in the midst of the mountains, and he said to me, These are whom to travel about the earth.
And they answered to the angel of the lord standing in the midst the mountains, and they said, We have traveled about the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and tranquil.
And answered and said, O lord of the forces, until when shall you in no way show mercy on Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, in which you were enraged over this seventieth year?
And to the angel, the one speaking with me sayings words
And said Shout aloud! saying, Thus says almighty; I am jealous Jerusalem, and Zion zeal
And anger by the nations, the ones joining in making an attack; because I indeed was provoked to anger a little, but they joined in making an attack for evils.
On account of this, thus says I will turn towards Jerusalem for compassion; and my house shall be rebuilt in it, says of the forces, and a measure shall be stretched out upon Jerusalem.
Shout aloud again! saying, Thus says of the of the forces; Yet shall be dispersed for good things, and still on Zion, and shall select still Jerusalem.
And I lifted my eyes, and I looked, and behold, four horns.
And I said to the angel, the one speaking with me, What are these, O lord? And he said to me, These are the horns, the ones scattering Judah, and Israel, and Jerusalem.
And I said, What come to do? And he said to me, saying, These are the horns, the ones having scattered Judah, and they broke Israel, and not one of them lifted And these are come forth to sharpen them in their hands the four horns nations lifting up against the land of the lord to scatter it.
