36-1:1 The
word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the
son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in
the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
36-1:2 I
will utterly consume all things from
off the land, saith the LORD.
36-1:3 I
will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the
fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off
man from off the land, saith the LORD.
36-1:5 And
them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
36-1:6 And
them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
36-1:7 Hold
thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for
the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath
prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
36-1:10 And
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD,
that there shall be the noise of a
cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing
from the hills.
36-1:12 And
it shall come to pass at that time, that I
will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on
their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD
will not do good, neither will he do evil.
36-1:14 The
great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and
hasteth greatly, even the voice of
the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry
there bitterly.
36-1:17 And
I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because
they have sinned against the LORD: and their
blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
36-2:2 Before
the decree bring forth, before the
day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD
come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.
36-2:3 Seek
ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which
have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye
shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
36-2:5 Woe
unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word
of the LORD is
against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee,
that there shall be no inhabitant.
36-2:7 And
the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed
thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for
the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn
away their captivity.
36-2:9 Therefore
as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be
as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual
desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my
people shall possess them.
36-2:10 This
shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
36-2:11 The
LORD will
be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from
his place, even all the isles of the
heathen.
36-3:2 She
obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
36-3:5 The
just LORD is
in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring
his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
36-3:8 Therefore
wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day
that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour
upon them mine indignation, even all
my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my
jealousy.
36-3:9 For
then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the
name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
36-3:12 I
will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they
shall trust in the name of the LORD.
36-3:15 The
LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast
out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even
the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
36-3:17 The
LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice
over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with
singing.
36-3:20 At
that time will I bring you again, even
in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among
all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes,
saith the LORD.
37-1:1 In
the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the
month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the
prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the
son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
37-1:2 Thus
speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people
say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’S house should be built.
37-1:3 Then
came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
saying,
37-1:5 Now
therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider
your ways.
37-1:7 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
37-1:8 Go
up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take
pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
37-1:9 Ye
looked for much, and, lo, it came to
little; and when ye brought it home,
I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of
hosts. Because of mine house that is waste,
and ye run every man unto his own house.
37-1:12 Then
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet,
as the LORD their God had sent him, and the
people did fear before the LORD.
37-1:13 Then
spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto the people,
saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
37-1:14 And
the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and
they came and did work in the house of the LORD
of hosts, their God,
37-2:1 In
the seventh month, in the one and
twentieth day of the month, came the
word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
37-2:4 Yet
now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and
be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye
people of the land, saith the LORD, and work:
for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
37-2:6 For
thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the
heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
37-2:7 And
I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will
fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of
hosts.
37-2:8 The
silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
37-2:9 The
glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace,
saith the LORD of hosts.
37-2:10 In
the four and twentieth day of the
ninth month, in the second year of
Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the
prophet, saying,
37-2:11 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
37-2:14 Then
answered Haggai, and said, So is this
people, and so is this nation before
me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
37-2:15 And
now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was
laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
37-2:17 I
smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of
your hands; yet ye turned not to me,
saith the LORD.
37-2:20 And
again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in
the four and twentieth day of the
month, saying,
37-2:23 In
that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take
thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen
thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
38-1:1 In
the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of
Iddo the prophet, saying,
38-1:2 The
LORD hath been sore displeased with your
fathers.
38-1:3 Therefore
say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts,
and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of
hosts.
38-1:4 Be
ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your
evil ways, and from your evil doings:
but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
38-1:6 But
my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they
not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our
ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
38-1:7 Upon
the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of
the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah,
the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
38-1:9 Then
said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will
shew thee what these be.
38-1:10 And
the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
38-1:11 And
they answered the angel of the LORD that stood
among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth,
and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
38-1:12 Then
the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on
Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation
these threescore and ten years?
38-1:13 And
the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
38-1:14 So
the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion
with a great jealousy.
38-1:16 Therefore
thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem
with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD
of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
38-1:17 Cry
yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My
cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose
Jerusalem.
38-1:20 And
the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
38-2:5 For
I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of
fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
38-2:6 Ho,
ho, come forth, and flee from the
land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have
spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
38-2:8 For
thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory
hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of his eye.
38-2:9 For,
behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their
servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of
hosts hath sent me.
38-2:10 Sing
and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst
of thee, saith the LORD.
38-2:11 And
many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that
day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou
shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me
unto thee.
38-2:12 And
the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the
holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
38-2:13 Be
silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is
raised up out of his holy habitation.
38-3:1 And
he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist
him.
38-3:2 And
the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the
fire?
38-3:5 And
I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon
his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
38-3:6 And
the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua,
saying,
38-3:7 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my
ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and
shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that
stand by.
38-3:9 For
behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will
engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of
hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
38-3:10 In
that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call
every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
38-4:4 So
I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
38-4:5 Then
the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what
these be? And I said, No, my lord.
38-4:6 Then
he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is
the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel,
saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
38-4:8 Moreover
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
38-4:9 The
hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall
also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD
of hosts hath sent me unto you.
38-4:10 For
who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with
those seven; they are the eyes of
the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole
earth.
38-4:13 And
he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
38-4:14 Then
said he, These are the two anointed ones,
that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
38-5:4 I
will bring it forth, saith the LORD 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.
38-6:4 Then
I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
38-6:5 And
the angel answered and said unto me, These are
the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
38-6:9 And
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
38-6:12 And
speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD
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
temple of the LORD:
38-6:13 Even
he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he
shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a
priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
38-6:14 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 temple of the LORD.
38-6:15 And
they that are far off shall come and
build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall
know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto
you. And this shall come to pass, if
ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD
your God.
38-7:1 And
it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto
Zechariah in the fourth day of the
ninth month, even in Chisleu;
38-7:2 When
they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to
pray before the LORD,
38-7:3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I
weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
38-7:4 Then
came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me,
saying,
38-7:7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath
cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity,
and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
38-7:8 And
the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah,
saying,
38-7:9 Thus
speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true
judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
38-7:12 Yea,
they made their hearts as an adamant
stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former
prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD
of hosts.
38-7:13 Therefore
it is come to pass, that as he cried,
and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
38-8:1 Again
the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
38-8:2 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with
great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
38-8:3 Thus
saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and
will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of
truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the
holy mountain.
38-8:4 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men
and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff
in his hand for very age.
38-8:6 Thus
saith the LORD 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 the LORD of
hosts.
38-8:7 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my
people from the east country, and from the west country;
38-8:9 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong,
ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD
of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
38-8:11 But
now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the
LORD of hosts.
38-8:14 For
thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish
you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD
of hosts, and I repented not:
38-8:17 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 the LORD.
38-8:18 And
the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me,
saying,
38-8:19 Thus
saith the LORD 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.
38-8:20 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that
there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
38-8:21 And
the inhabitants of one city shall go
to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD
of hosts: I will go also.
38-8:22 Yea,
many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD
of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
38-8:23 Thus
saith the LORD 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 God is with you.
38-9:1 The
burden of the word of the LORD in the land of
Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the
rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.
38-9:4 Behold,
the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite
her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
38-9:14 And
the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow
shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord
GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
38-9:15 The
LORD 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.
38-9:16 And
the LORD their God 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.
38-10:1 Ask
ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter
rain; so the LORD
shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in
the field.
38-10:3 Mine
anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of
Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
38-10:5 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 the LORD is with
them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
38-10:6 And
I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, 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 the LORD their God, and will hear
them.
38-10:7 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 the LORD.
38-10:12 And
I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
38-11:4 Thus
saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the
slaughter;
