After these things I heard as it were a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,  ¹Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power are of our God.

For true and righteous are His judgments; for He has judged the  ¹great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His slaves  ²at her hand.

And a second time they said, Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up forever and ever.

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God, who sits upon the throne, saying,  ¹Amen, Hallelujah!

And a  ¹voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His slaves and those who fear Him, the small and the great.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of  ¹many waters and like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the  ¹marriage of the Lamb has come, and His  ²wife has made herself ready.

And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and  ¹clean; for the fine linen is the  ²righteousnesses of the saints.

And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the  ¹marriage  ²dinner of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Do not do this. I am your fellow slave and a fellow slave of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the  ¹spirit of the prophecy.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and  ¹He who sits on it called  ²Faithful and True, and in  ³righteousness He judges and makes war.

And His  ¹eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are  ²many diadems, and He has a name written  ³which no one knows but Himself.

And He is clothed with a garment  ¹dipped in blood; and His name is called the  ²Word of God.

And the  ¹armies which are in heaven followed Him on white horses,  ²dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp  ¹sword, that with it He might smite the nations; and He will  ²shepherd them with an iron rod; and He treads the  ³winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

And He has on His  ¹garment and on His thigh a name written, King Of KINGS And Lord Of LORDS.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come here; gather yourselves to the  ¹great dinner of God,

That you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of  ¹generals and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free and slave and small and great.

And I saw the beast and the  ¹kings of the earth and their  ²armies gathered together to make  ³war with Him who sits on the horse and with His army.

And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet, who in his presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were  ¹cast alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone.

And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeds out of the mouth of Him who sits on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

In the eighth month, in the second year of  ¹Darius, the word of Jehovah came to  ²Zechariah the prophet, the son of  ³Berechiah, the son of  ⁴Iddo, saying,

Jehovah was extremely angry with your fathers;

Therefore say to them, Thus says Jehovah  ¹of hosts,  ²Return to Me, declares Jehovah of hosts, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts.

Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, Turn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds; but they did not hear nor hearken to Me, declares Jehovah.

Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers, so that they returned and said, As Jehovah of hosts has thought to do with us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so has He done with us?

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

I saw during the night, and behold, a  ¹man was riding upon a  ²red horse; and He was standing among the  ³myrtle trees that were in the bottoms; and behind Him there were  ⁴red, reddish-brown, and white horses.

Then I said, What are these, sir? And the angel who spoke with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are those whom Jehovah has  ¹sent to go to and fro on the earth.

And they answered the Angel of Jehovah, who was standing among the myrtle trees, and they said, We have gone to and fro on the earth, and indeed all the earth sits still and is quiet.

Then the Angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long will You not have compassion on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which You have been indignant for these seventy years?

And Jehovah answered the angel who spoke with me with good words, with comforting words.

So the angel who spoke to me said to me, Cry out, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: I am greatly  ¹jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion;

And I am extremely angry with the nations, who are at ease; for I was only a little angry, but their help increased the affliction.

Therefore thus says Jehovah, I return to Jerusalem with compassions; My house will be built in it, declares Jehovah of hosts, and a  ¹measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.

Cry out again, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, My cities will again overflow with good, and Jehovah will again comfort Zion and will again choose Jerusalem.

Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there were  ¹four horns.

And I said to the angel who spoke with me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

Then Jehovah showed me  ¹four craftsmen.

And I said, What do these come to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns that have so scattered Judah that no man lifts up his head, but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations who have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.

Then I lifted up my eyes and I looked, and there was a  ¹man, and in His hand was a  ²measuring line.

And I said, Where are you going? And He said to me, To measure  ¹Jerusalem; to see how great its breadth is and how great its length is.

Then at that point the angel who spoke with me went forth and another angel came forth to meet him.

And he said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will lie as an open region due to the multitude of men and cattle within it,

For I will be her  ¹wall of fire round about, declares Jehovah, and I will be the glory within her.

Ho! Ho! Flee from the land of the north, declares Jehovah, for I have  ¹spread you out like the four winds of the heavens, declares Jehovah.

Ho, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

For thus says Jehovah of hosts,  ¹After the glory  ²He has sent  ²Me against the nations who plunder you; for he who touches you touches the  ³pupil of His eye.

For I am now waving My hand over them, and they will be plunder for those who served them; and you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent Me.

Give a ringing shout and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for now  ¹I am coming, and I will dwell in your midst, declares Jehovah.

And many nations will join themselves to Jehovah in that day and will become My people; and I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent Me to you.

And Jehovah will inherit Judah as His portion upon the holy land, and He will again choose Jerusalem.

 ¹Hush, all flesh, before Jehovah! For He is roused up from His holy habitation.

Then He showed me  ¹Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah and  ²Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

And Jehovah said to Satan, Jehovah rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Jehovah, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?

Now Joshua was clothed with  ¹filthy garments and was standing before the Angel.

And He answered and spoke to those standing before Him, saying,  ¹Remove the filthy garments from him. Then He said to him, See, I hereby make your iniquity pass from you and clothe you with stately robes.

And  ¹He said, Let them put a  ²clean turban upon his head. And they put the clean turban upon his head and clothed him with garments while the Angel of Jehovah stood by.

And the Angel of Jehovah testified to Joshua, saying,

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep My charge, then you will both judge My house and keep My courts, and I will grant you to walk among these standing here.

Hear then, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you — for they are men of symbol — for I am about to bring forth My  ¹servant, the shoot.

For here is the  ¹stone that I have set before Joshua — upon one stone are  ²seven eyes. I will  ³engrave its engraving, declares Jehovah of hosts, and I will  ⁴remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

In that day, declares Jehovah of hosts, each of you will invite his neighbor to come under the  ¹vine and under the fig tree.

 ¹Then the angel who spoke with me returned and roused me as a man is roused from his sleep.

And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see that there is a  ¹lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on top of it and its seven lamps upon it, with  ²seven pipes for each of the lamps on top of it;

And there are  ¹two olive trees beside it, one to the right of the bowl and one to the left.

And I answered and spoke to the angel who spoke with me, saying, What are these, sir?

And the angel who spoke with me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, sir.

And he answered and spoke to me, saying,  ¹This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might nor by power, but by My  ²Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.

Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain, and he will  ¹bring forth the topstone with shouts of Grace, grace to it.

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it; and you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent Me to you.

For who has despised the day of small things? For these  ¹seven rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel; they are the eyes of Jehovah running to and fro on the whole earth.

Then I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?

And I answered a second time and said to him, What are the two olive  ¹branches that are by the side of the two golden spouts,  ²which empty the  ³gold from themselves?

And he spoke to me, saying, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, sir.

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

 ¹Then I lifted up my eyes again and I saw, and there was a  ²flying scroll.

And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a flying scroll, its  ¹length twenty cubits and its breadth ten cubits.

Then he said to me, This is the  ¹curse that goes forth over the face of all the land; for everyone who  ²steals will be purged according to what is on one side, and everyone who  ²swears will be purged according to what is on the other side.

I will cause  ¹it to go forth, declares Jehovah of hosts; and it will enter the house of him who steals and the house of him who swears falsely by My name; and it will lodge overnight within his house and consume it, both with its timbers and its stones.

Then the angel who spoke with me went forth and said to me, Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is  ¹the ephah vessel that goes forth; and he said, This is their  ²appearance in all the land;

(Then a lead cover was lifted up) and this is a  ¹woman sitting within the ephah vessel.

Then he said, This is Wickedness. And he threw her down into the midst of the ephah vessel and threw the  ¹lead weight over its opening.

Then I lifted up my eyes and I looked, and there were  ¹two women going forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork. And they lifted up the ephah vessel between the earth and the heavens.

And I said to the angel who spoke with me, Where are they taking the ephah vessel?

And he said to me,  ¹To build a house for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.

Then I lifted up my eyes again and I looked, and there were  ¹four chariots coming forth from between the  ²two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of  ³bronze.

With the first chariot were red  ¹horses, and with the second chariot were black horses,

And with the third chariot were white horses, and with the fourth chariot were strong, speckled horses.

And I answered and said to the angel who spoke with me, What are these, sir?

And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven who go forth from presenting themselves to the Lord of the whole earth.

With  ¹one of the winds the black horses went forth to the land of the north, and the white horses went forth after them, and the speckled horses went forth to the land of the south.

And the strong horses went forth and sought to proceed to go to and fro on the earth. And He said, Proceed to go to and fro on the earth; and they went to and fro on the earth.

Then He called out to me and spoke to me, saying, See, these who are going forth to the land of the north have given My Spirit  ¹rest in the land of the north.
