Book 38 Zechariah

38:001:001 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,

38:001:002 The lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

38:001:003 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.

38:001:004 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.

38:001:005 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live
           for ever?

38:001:006 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.

38:001:007 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,

38:001:008 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.

38:001:009 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.

38:001:010 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.

38:001:011 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.

38:001:012 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?

38:001:013 And the lord answered the angel that talked with me with good
           words and comfortable words.

38:001:014 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.
