"The LORDh3068 was veryh7110a  aangryh7107 with your fathersh1.

"Therefore sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, " aReturnh7725 to Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "that I may returnh7725 to you," saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

On the twenty-fourthh6242h702 dayh3117 of the eleventhh6249h6240 monthh2320, whichh1931 is the monthh2320 Shebath7627, in the secondh8147 yearh8141 of Dariush1867, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Zechariahh2148a the propheth5030, the sonh1121 of Berechiahh1296, the sonh1121 of Iddoh5714, as followsh559:

8

I sawh7200 at nighth3915, and beholdh2009, a manh376 was ridingh7392 on a  aredh122 horseh5483b, and he was standingh5975 amongh996 the  bmyrtleh1918 treesh1918 whichh834 were in the ravineh4699, with redh122, sorrelh8320 and  cwhiteh3836 horsesh5483b behindh310 him.

9

Then I saidh559, "My  alordh113, whath4100 are theseh428?" And the  bangelh4397 who was speakingh1696 with me saidh559 to me, "I will showh7200 you whath4100 theseh428 are."

10

And the manh376 who was standingh5975 amongh996 the myrtleh1918 treesh1918 answeredh6030a and saidh559, "Theseh428 are those whomh834 the LORDh3068 has senth7971 to  1 apatrolh1980 the earthh776."

11

So they answeredh6030a the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 who was  astandingh5975 amongh996 the myrtleh1918 treesh1918 and saidh559, "We have  1patrolledh1980 the earthh776, and beholdh2009,  ballh3605 the earthh776 is  2peacefulh3427 and quieth8252."

12

Then the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559, "O LORDh3068 of hostsh6635,  ahowh4970 longh5704h4970 will You  bhaveh7355 noh3808 compassionh7355 for Jerusalemh3389 and the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063, with whichh834 You have beenh2194  cindignanth2194 theseh2088  dseventyh7657 yearsh8141?"

13

The LORDh3068 answeredh6030a the  aangelh4397 who was speakingh1696 with me with  1gracioush2896a wordsh1697,  bcomfortingh5150 wordsh1697.

14

So the angelh4397 who was speakingh1696 with me saidh559 to me, " aProclaimh7121, sayingh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "I am  bexceedinglyh1419 jealoush7065 for Jerusalemh3389 and Zionh6726.

15

"But I am veryh1419h7110a  aangryh7107 with the nationsh1471 who are  bat easeh7600; for while I was only a littleh4592 angryh7107, they  1 cfurtheredh5826 the disasterh7463a."

16

`Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "I will  areturnh7725 to Jerusalemh3389 with compassionh7356; My  bhouseh1004 will be builth1129 in it," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "and a measuringh6957b  clineh6957b will be stretchedh5186 overh5921 Jerusalemh3389."'

17

"Againh5750, proclaimh7121, sayingh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "My  acitiesh5892b will againh5750 overflowh6327b with prosperityh2896b, and the LORDh3068 will againh5750  bcomforth5162 Zionh6726 and againh5750  cchooseh977 Jerusalemh3389.""'

18

 1Then I liftedh5375 up my eyesh5869 and lookedh7200, and beholdh2009, there were fourh702 hornsh7161.

19

So I saidh559 to the angelh4397 who was speakingh1696 with me, "Whath4100 are theseh428?" And he answeredh559 me, "Theseh428 are the  ahornsh7161 whichh834 have scatteredh2219 Judahh3063, Israelh3478 and Jerusalemh3389."

20

Then the LORDh3068 showedh7200 me fourh702  acraftsmenh2796.

21

I saidh559, "Whath4100 are theseh428 comingh935 to doh6213a?" And he saidh559, "Theseh428 are the  ahornsh7161 whichh834 have scatteredh2219 Judahh3063 soh6310 that noh3808 manh376 liftsh5375 up his headh7218; but theseh428 craftsmen have comeh935 to terrifyh2729 them, to  bthrowh3034 downh3034 the hornsh7161 of the nationsh1471 who have liftedh5375 up their hornsh7161 againsth413 the landh776 of Judahh3063 in order to scatterh2219 it."
