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.

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.

Zekharyah9
Zechariah · Chapter 9
The burden of the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus
shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Yisra'el,
shall be toward 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Behold, the master will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Ashkelon shall see
it, and fear; Gaza also
shall see it,
and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he,
shall be
for our Elohim, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Tsiyon; shout, O daughter of Yerushalayim: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he
is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Yerushalayim, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion
shall be from sea
even
to sea, and from river
even to the ends of the earth.
As for thee also, by the blood of thy b'rit I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein
is no water.
Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare
that I will render double unto thee;
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Tsiyon, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink,
and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls,
and as the corners of the altar.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they
shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
For how great
is his goodness, and how great
is
his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
