Zechariah · Chapter 10
Ask ye of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) rain in the time of the latter rain;
so
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because
there was no shepherd.
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
And they shall be as mighty
men, which tread down
their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Yoseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim, and will hear them.
And
they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty
man,
and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see
it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
I will bring them again also out of the land of Mitsrayim, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and
place shall not be found for them.
And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Mitsrayim shall depart away.
And I will strengthen them in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).

Zekharyah11
Zechariah · Chapter 11
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Yarden is spoiled.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) my Elohim; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed
be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver
them.
And I will feed the flock of slaughter,
even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my nephesh lothed them, and their nephesh also abhorred me.
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
And I took my staff,
even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my b'rit which I had made with all the people.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it
was the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give
me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty
pieces of silver.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty
pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Then I cut asunder mine other staff,
even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Yisra'el.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land,
which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword
shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Zekharyah12
Zechariah · Chapter 12
The burden of the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) for Yisra'el, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), which stretcheth forth the shamayim, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Behold, I will make Yerushalayim a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah
and
against Yerushalayim.
And in that day will I make Yerushalayim a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
In that day, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Yerushalayim
shall be my strength in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts their Elohim.
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Yerushalayim shall be inhabited again in her own place,
even in Yerushalayim.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of Dawid and the glory of the inhabitants of Yerushalayim do not magnify
themselves against Judah.
In that day shall 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) defend the inhabitants of Yerushalayim; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as Dawid; and the house of Dawid
shall be as Elohim, as the mal'akh of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) before them.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Yerushalayim.
And I will pour upon the house of Dawid, and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for
his only
son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for
his firstborn.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Yerushalayim, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of Dawid apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
