Zechariah 1:7-17

A Man on a Red Horse

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying, 8 I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a ^ared horse, and he was standing among the ^bmyrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel, and ^cwhite horses behind him. 9 Then I said, “My ^alord, what are these?” And the ^bangel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” 10 And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are those whom Yahweh has sent to ¹^apatrol the earth.” 11 So they answered the angel of Yahweh who was ^astanding among the myrtle trees and said, “We have ¹patrolled the earth, and behold, ^ball the earth is sitting still and quiet.”
12 Then the angel of Yahweh answered and said, “O Yahweh of hosts, ^ahow long will You ^bhave no compassion for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been ^cindignant these ^dseventy years?” 13 Yahweh answered the ^aangel who was speaking with me with good words, ^bcomforting words. 14 So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “^aCall out, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “I am ^bexceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. 15 But I am very ^awrathful with the nations who are ^bat ease; for I was only a little wrathful, but they ^chelped increase the calamity.” 16 Therefore thus says Yahweh, “I will ^areturn to Jerusalem with compassion; My ^bhouse will be built in it,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and a measuring ^cline will be stretched over Jerusalem.”’ 17 Again, call out, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “My ^acities will again overflow with good, and Yahweh will again ^bcomfort Zion and again ^cchoose Jerusalem.”’”

Zechariah 6:1-8

Four Chariots

Then I lifted up my eyes again and saw, and behold, ^afour chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains. 2 With the first chariot were ^ared horses, with the second chariot ^bblack horses, 3 with the third chariot ^awhite horses, and with the fourth chariot ^bdappled horses—all of them mighty. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “^aWhat are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the ^afour spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth, 6 with one of which the black horses are going forth to the ^anorth country; and the white ones go forth after them, and the dappled ones go forth to the ^bsouth country. 7 Now the mighty ones went out, and they sought to go to ¹^apatrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, ¹patrol the earth.” So they ²patrolled the earth. 8 Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have ^acaused My Spirit to have rest in the land of the north.”
