Zechariah · Chapter 5
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof
is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Then said he unto me, This
is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off
as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off
as on that side according to it.
I will bring it forth, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Then the mal'akh that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what
is this that goeth forth.
And I said, What
is it? And he said, This
is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This
is their resemblance through all the earth.
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this
is
a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
And he said, This
is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind
was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the shamayim.
Then said I to the mal'akh that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Zekharyah6
Zechariah · Chapter 6
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains
were mountains of brass.
In the first chariot
were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
Then I answered and said unto the mal'akh that talked with me, What
are these, my lord?
And the mal'akh answered and said unto me, These
are the four spirits of the shamayim, which go forth from standing before the master of all the earth.
The black horses which
are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto me, saying,
Take of
them of the captivity,
even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Bavel, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set
them
upon the head of Yehoshua the son of Josedech, the high kohen;
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name
is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the heikhal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
Even he shall build the heikhal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a kohen upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the heikhal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And they
that are far off shall come and build in the heikhal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and ye shall know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts hath sent me unto you. And
this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.

Zekharyah7
Zechariah · Chapter 7
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
that
the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto Zechariah in the fourth
day
of the ninth month,
even in Chisleu;
When they had sent unto the house of Elohim Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
And to speak unto the kohanim which
were in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, and to the nevi'im, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Then came the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts unto me, saying,
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the kohanim, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh
month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me,
even to me?
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat
for yourselves, and drink
for yourselves?
Should ye not
hear the words which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath cried by the former nevi'im, when Yerushalayim was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when
men inhabited the south and the plain?
And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto Zechariah, saying,
Thus speaketh 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts
as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the torah, and the words which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former nevi'im: therefore came a great wrath from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
Therefore it is come to pass,
that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts:
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
