* Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month , which is the month Shebat , in the second year of Darius , came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet , the son of Berechiah , the son of Iddo , 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 low valley ; and behind him were red , bay , and white horses . * And I said , My lord , what are these ? And the angel that talked with me said unto me , I will shew thee what these are . * And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said , These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth . * And they answered the angel of Jehovah 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 . * And the angel of Jehovah answered and said , Jehovah of hosts , how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah , against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years ? * And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words , comforting words . * And the angel that talked with me said unto me , Cry , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy , * and I am wroth exceedingly with the nations that are at ease ; for I was but a little wroth , and they helped forward the affliction . * Therefore thus saith Jehovah : I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies : my house shall be built in it , saith Jehovah of hosts , and the line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem . * Cry further , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity , and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion , and shall yet choose Jerusalem .
