* 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 .
