IN THE 8TH MONTH OF THE 2ND YEAR OF DARIUS, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO THE PROPHET ZECHARIAH

2 THE LORD WAS VERY ANGRY WITH YOUR FOREFATHERS

3 THEREFORE TELL THE PEOPLE, RETURN TO ME

4 DO NOT BE LIKE YOUR FOREFATHERS

5 WHERE ARE YOUR FOREFATHERS

6 THEY REPENTED

7 ONTHE 24TH DAY THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME

8 DURING THE NIGHT I HAD A VISION

9 I AKED, WHAT ARE THESE

10 THEN THE MAN STANDING AMONGH THE MYRTLE TREES EXPLAINED, THEY ARE THE ONES THE LORD HAS SENT TO GO THOUGHTOUT THE EARTH

11 THEY REPORTED TO THE ANGER OF THE LORD

12 THEN THE ANGLE SAID, HOW LONG WILL YOU WITHHOLD MERCY

13 THE LORD SPOKE KIND AND COMFORTING WORDS

14 PROCLAIM THIS WORD.

15 I AM VERY ANGRY WITH THE NAIONS THAT FELL SECURE

16 I WILL RETURN TO JERUSALEM WITH MERCY

17 MY TOWNS WILL AGAIN OVERFLOW WITH PORSPERITY

18 I LOOKED UP AND THERE WERE FOUR HORNS

19 THESE ARE THE HORNS THAT SCATTERED JUDAH

20 THEN THE LORD SHOWED ME 4 CRAFTSMEN

21 THE CRAFTSMEN HAVE COME TO TERRIFY NATIONS WHO LIFTED UP THEIR HORNS AGAINST THE LAND OF JUDAH
