rsv@Zechariah:2:3 @ And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him,

rsv@Zechariah:2:4 @ and said to him, "Run, say to that young man, `Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it.

rsv@Zechariah:2:5 @ For I will be to her a wall of fire round about, says the LORD, and I will be the glory within her.'"

rsv@Zechariah:2:6 @ Ho! ho! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the LORD.

rsv@Zechariah:2:7 @ Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

rsv@Zechariah:2:8 @ For thus said the LORD of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye:

rsv@Zechariah:2:9 @ "Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.

rsv@Zechariah:2:10 @ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD.

rsv@Zechariah:2:11 @ And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

rsv@Zechariah:2:12 @ And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem."

rsv@Zechariah:2:13 @ Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.

rsv@Zechariah:3:1 @ Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

rsv@Zechariah:3:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?"

rsv@Zechariah:3:3 @ Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.

rsv@Zechariah:3:4 @ And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel."

rsv@Zechariah:3:5 @ And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.

rsv@Zechariah:3:6 @ And the angel of the LORD enjoined Joshua,

rsv@Zechariah:3:7 @ "Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.

rsv@Zechariah:3:8 @ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men of good omen: behold, I will bring my servant the Branch.

rsv@Zechariah:3:9 @ For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon a single stone with seven facets, I will engrave its inscription, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.

rsv@Zechariah:3:10 @ In that day, says the LORD of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree."

rsv@Zechariah:4:1 @ And the angel who talked with me came again, and waked me, like a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

rsv@Zechariah:4:2 @ And he said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps which are on the top of it.

rsv@Zechariah:4:3 @ And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."

rsv@Zechariah:4:4 @ And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

rsv@Zechariah:4:5 @ Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

rsv@Zechariah:4:6 @ Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerub'babel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Zechariah:4:7 @ What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerub'babel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of `Grace, grace to it!'"

rsv@Zechariah:4:8 @ Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

rsv@Zechariah:4:9 @ "The hands of Zerub'babel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

rsv@Zechariah:4:12 @ And a second time I said to him, "What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the oil is poured out?"

rsv@Zechariah:4:13 @ He said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

rsv@Zechariah:4:14 @ Then he said, "These are the two anointed who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

rsv@Zechariah:5:1 @ Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!

rsv@Zechariah:5:2 @ And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits."

rsv@Zechariah:5:3 @ Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it.

rsv@Zechariah:5:4 @ I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones."

rsv@Zechariah:5:5 @ Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth."

rsv@Zechariah:5:6 @ And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah that goes forth." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land."

rsv@Zechariah:5:7 @ And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!

rsv@Zechariah:5:8 @ And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.

rsv@Zechariah:5:9 @ Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.

rsv@Zechariah:5:10 @ Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"

rsv@Zechariah:5:11 @ He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base."

rsv@Zechariah:6:1 @ And again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

rsv@Zechariah:6:2 @ The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

rsv@Zechariah:6:3 @ the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray horses.

rsv@Zechariah:6:4 @ Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

rsv@Zechariah:6:5 @ And the angel answered me, "These are going forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the LORD of all the earth.

rsv@Zechariah:6:7 @ When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth.

rsv@Zechariah:6:8 @ Then he cried to me, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country."

rsv@Zechariah:6:9 @ And the word of the LORD came to me:

rsv@Zechariah:6:10 @ "Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobi'jah, and Jedai'ah, who have arrived from Babylon; and go the same day to the house of Josi'ah, the son of Zephani'ah.

rsv@Zechariah:7:1 @ In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechari'ah in the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev.
