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.

Zekharyah8
Zechariah · Chapter 8
Again the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts came
to me, saying,
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; I was jealous for Tsiyon with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); I am returned unto Tsiyon, and will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim: and Yerushalayim shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts the holy mountain.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Yerushalayim, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim, in truth and in righteousness.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the nevi'im, which
were
in the day
that the foundation of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts was laid, that the heikhal might be built.
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither
was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
But now I
will not
be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
For the seed
shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the shamayim shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these
things.
And it shall come to pass,
that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Yisra'el; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not,
but let your hands be strong.
For thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, and I repented not:
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Yerushalayim and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
These
are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these
are things that I hate, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts came unto me, saying,
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; The fast of the fourth
month,
and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts;
It shall yet
come to pass,
that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
And the inhabitants of one
city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and to seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts: I will go also.
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; In those days
it shall come to pass,
that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard
that Elohim
is with you.
