- In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
- "Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.
- Therefore tell them: Thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'Return to me,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'and I will return to you,' says Yahweh of Armies.
- Don't you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says Yahweh of Armies, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.
- Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
- But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn't they overtake your fathers? "Then they repented and said, 'Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"
- On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
- "I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.
- Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."
- The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, "They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth."
- They reported to the angel of Yahweh who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace."
- Then the angel of Yahweh replied, "O Yahweh of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?"
- Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
- So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
- I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity."
- Therefore thus says Yahweh: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it," says Yahweh of Armies, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'
- "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"
- I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.
- I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
- Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.
- Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."

- בחדש השמיני בשנת שתים לדריוש היה דבר־יהוה אל־זכריה בן־ברכיה בן־עדו הנביא לאמר׃
- קצף יהוה על־אבותיכם קצף׃
- ואמרת אלהם כה אמר יהוה צבאות שובו אלי נאם יהוה צבאות ואשוב אליכם אמר יהוה צבאות׃
- אל־תהיו כאבתיכם אשר קראו־אליהם הנביאים הראשנים לאמר כה אמר יהוה צבאות שובו נא מדרכיכם הרעים הרעים ולא שמעו ולא־הקשיבו אלי נאם־יהוה׃
- אבותיכם איה־הם והנבאים הלעולם יחיו׃
- אך דברי וחקי אשר צויתי את־עבדי הנביאים הלוא השיגו אבתיכם וישובו ויאמרו כאשר זםם יהוה צבאות לעשות לנו כדרכינו וכמעללינו כן עשה אתנו׃ ס
- ביום עשרים וארבעה לעשתי־עשר חדש הוא־חדש שבט בשנת שתים לדריוש היה דבר־יהוה אל־זכריה בן־ברכיהו בן־עדוא הנביא לאמר׃
- ראיתי הלילה והנה־איש רכב על־סוס אדם והוא עמד בין ההדסים אשר במצלה ואחריו סוסים אדמים שרקים ולבנים׃
- ואמר מה־אלה אדני ויאמר אלי המלאך הדבר בי אני אראך מה־המה אלה׃
- ויען האיש העמד בין־ההדסימ ויאמר אלה אשר שלח יהוה להתהלך בארץ׃
- ויענו את־מלאך יהוה העמד בין ההדסים ויאמרו התהלכנו בארץ והנה כל־הארץ ישבת ושקטת׃
- ויען מלאך־יהוה ויאמר יהוה צבאות עד־מתי אתה לא־תרחם את־ירושלם ואת ערי יהודה אשר זעמתה זה שבעים שנה׃
- ויען יהוה את־המלאך הדבר בי דברים טובים דברים נחמים׃
- ויאמר אלי המלאך הדבר בי קרא לאמר כה אמר יהוה צבאות קנאתי לירושלם ולציון קנאה גדולה׃
- וקצף גדול אני קצף על־הגוים השאננים אשר אני קצפתי מעט והמה עזרו לרעה׃
- לכן כה־אמר יהוה שבתי לירושלם ברחמים ביתי יבנה בה נאם יהוה צבאות ינטה על־ירושלם׃
- עוד קרא לאמר כה אמר יהוה צבאות עוד תפוצינה ערי מטוב ונחם יהוה עוד את־ציון ובחר עוד בירושלם׃ ס
- ואשא את־עיני וארא והנה ארבע קרנות׃
- ואמר אל־המלאך הדבר בי מה־אלה ויאמר אלי אלה הקרנות אשר זרו את־יהודה את־ישראל וירושלם׃ ס
- ויראני יהוה ארבעה חרשים׃
- ואמר מה אלה באים לעשות ויאמר לאמר אלה הקרנות אשר־זרו את־יהודה כפי־איש לא־נשא ראשו ויבאו אלה להחריד אתם לידות את־קרנות הגוים הנשאים קרן אל־ארץ יהודה לזרותה׃ ס

- In mense octavo, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiæ filii Addo prophetam, dicens :
- Iratus est Dominus super patres vestros iracundia.
- Et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Convertimini ad me, ait Dominus exercituum, et convertar ad vos, dicit Dominus exercituum.
- Ne sitis sicut patres vestri, ad quos clamabant prophetæ priores, dicentes : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Convertimini de viis vestris malis, et de cogitationibus vestris pessimis : et non audierunt, neque attenderunt ad me, dicit Dominus.
- Patres vestri, ubi sunt ? et prophetæ numquid in sempiternum vivent ?
- Verumtamen verba mea, et legitima mea, quæ mandavi servis meis prophetis, numquid non comprehenderunt patres vestros, et conversi sunt, et dixerunt : Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis secundum vias nostras, et secundum adinventiones nostras, fecit nobis ?
- In die vigesima et quarta undecimi mensis Sabath, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiæ filii Addo prophetam, dicens :
- Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir ascendens super equum rufum, et ipse stabat inter myrteta, quæ erant in profundo, et post eum equi rufi, varii, et albi.
- Et dixi : Quid sunt isti, domine mi ? Et dixit ad me angelus qui loquebatur in me : Ego ostendam tibi quid sint hæc.
- Et respondit vir qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixit : Isti sunt quos misit Dominus ut perambulent terram.
- Et responderunt angelo Domini, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixerunt : Perambulavimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitatur, et quiescit.
- Et respondit angelus Domini, et dixit : Domine exercituum, usquequo tu non misereberis Jerusalem, et urbium Juda, quibus iratus es ? iste jam septuagesimus annus est.
- Et respondit Dominus angelo qui loquebatur in me verba bona, verba consolatoria.
- Et dixit ad me angelus qui loquebatur in me : Clama, dicens : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Zelatus sum Jerusalem et Sion zelo magno,
- et ira magna ego irascor super gentes opulentas, quia ego iratus sum parum, ipsi vero adjuverunt in malum.
- Propterea hæc dicit Dominus : Revertar ad Jerusalem in misericordiis, et domus mea ædificabitur in ea, ait Dominus exercituum, et perpendiculum extendetur super Jerusalem.
- Adhuc clama, dicens : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc affluent civitates meæ bonis, et consolabitur adhuc Dominus Sion, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
- Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce quatuor cornua.
- Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me : Quid sunt hæc ? Et dixit ad me : Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam, et Israël, et Jerusalem.
- Et ostendit mihi Dominus quatuor fabros.
- Et dixi : Quid isti veniunt facere ? Qui ait, dicens : Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam per singulos viros, et nemo eorum levavit caput suum : et venerunt isti deterrere ea, ut dejiciant cornua gentium, quæ levaverunt cornu super terram Juda ut dispergerent eam.

- 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,
- The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
- 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.
- 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.
- Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
- 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.
- 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,
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
- 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.
- And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
- 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.
