^{31 (6:16)} And these are those whom David appointed for the purpose of conducting the singing in the house of the Lord, after the ark had a resting-place. ^{32 (6:17)} And they ministered before the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation with singing, until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; and they acted according to their prescribed manner in their service. ^{33 (6:18)} And these are those that so acted with their sons. Of the sons of the Kehathites: Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel, ^{34 (6:19)} The son of Elkanah, the son of Jerocham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toach, ^{35 (6:20)} The son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Machath, the son of ‘Amassai, ^{36 (6:21)} The son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of ‘Azaryah, the son of Zephanyah, ^{37 (6:22)} The son of Tachath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebyassaph, the son of Korach, ^{38 (6:23)} The son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son at Levi, the son of Israel. ^{39 (6:24)} And his relative Assaph was he, who stood on his right hand, even Assaph the son of Berachyah, the son of Shim’a, ^{40 (6:25)} The son of Michael, the son of Ba’asseyah, the son of Malkiyah, ^{41 (6:26)} The son of Ethni, the son of Zerach, the son of ‘Adayah. ^{42 (6:27)} The son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shim’i, ^{43 (6:28)} The son of Jachath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi. ^{44 (6:29)} And their brethren the sons of Merari stood on the left hand: Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of ‘Abdi, the son of Malluch, ^{45 (6:30)} The son of Chashabyah, the son of Amazyah, the son of Chilkiyah, ^{46 (6:31)} The son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer, ^{47 (6:32)} The son of Machli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi. ^{48 (6:33)} And their brethren the Levites were superadded for all manner of service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

²⁴ And Shebanyahu, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and ‘Amassai, and Zecharyahu, and Benayahu, and Eli’ezer, the priests, did blow on the trumpets before the ark of God; and ‘Obed-edom and Jechiyah were gatekeepers for the ark.

²⁷ And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and so were all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singers, and Kenanyahu the chief in conducting the singing of the singers; but David had also upon him an ephod of linen.

⁴ And he placed before the ark of the Lord several of the Levites as ministers, and to chaunt hymns, and to give praise and thanks unto the Lord the God of Israel: ⁵ Assaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah; Je’iel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and Matthithyah, and Eliab, and Benayahu, and ‘Obed-edom; and Je’iel with psalteries and with harps; but Assaph played aloud with the cymbals. ⁶ And Benayahu and Jachaziel the priests were with the trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. ⁷ On that day—then did David appoint for the first time to give thanks to the Lord through means of Assaph and his brethren.

³⁴ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.

³⁷ And he left there in charge before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Assaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, at the work of every day on its day,

⁴¹ And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were selected who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness; ⁴² And with them, with Heman and Jeduthun, the trumpets and cymbals to play aloud, and the musical instruments of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be for the service at the gate.

⁴ Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges; ⁵ And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.

²⁴ These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore. ²⁶ And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof. ²⁷ Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above; ²⁸ Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure; ³⁰ And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening, ³¹ And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord; ³² And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.

¹ David also divided off with the chiefs of the host for the service of the sons of Assaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, those who uttered praise accompanied with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and their number was of the men that did the work in their service. ² Of the sons of Assaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethanyah, and Asharelah, the sons of Assaph under the supervision of Assaph, who uttered praise under the supervision of the king. ³ Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedalyahu, and Zeri, and Jesha’yahu, Chashahyahu, and Matthithyahu, six, under the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who uttered praise with a harp, in order to give thanks and to utter praise unto the Lord. ⁴ Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiyahu, Matthanyahu, ‘Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Chananyah, Chanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-’ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Machaz’oth; ⁵ All these sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, were to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶ All these were under the supervision of their father at the singing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, under the supervision of the king, Assaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. ⁷ And their number, with their brethren that were practised in singing unto the Lord, even all that were acquainted therewith, was two hundred eighty and eight.

^{10 (2:9)} And, behold, for the hewers that cut the timber will I give unto thy servants twenty thousand cors of threshed wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. ^{11 (2:10)} Then answered Churam the king of Tyre in writing, and he sent it to Solomon, Out of the love of the Lord for his people hath he set thee as king over them. ^{12 (2:11)} And Churam said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, that hath made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to king David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and understanding, who is to build a house unto the Lord, and a house for royal residence. ^{13 (2:12)} And now have I sent a skilful man, endowed with understanding, namely, Churam-Abi, ^{14 (2:13)} The son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, while his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in copper, in iron, in stone, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to execute any manner of engraving, and to devise every kind of work of art which may be given to him, together with thy skilful men, and skilful men of my lord David thy father. ^{15 (2:14)} And now the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, of which my lord hath spoken, let him send unto his servants: ^{16 (2:15)} And we will truly cut down trees out of the Lebanon, as much as thou mayest need; and we will bring them to thee in boats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry them up to Jerusalem.

¹ He made also an altar of copper, twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

⁶ But I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have made choice of David to be over my people Israel,

³ And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was resting upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.

¹² And the king and Yehoyada’ gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord. ¹³ So the workmen wrought, and the work was restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its former state, and strengthened it.

²⁵ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the command of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: because from the Lord was this commandment by means of his prophets. ²⁶ And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

³¹ Then commenced Hezekiah, and said, Now have ye consecrated yourselves unto the Lord: come near and bring sacrifices and thanksgiving-offerings unto the house of the Lord. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thanksgiving-offerings, and every one who was liberal of heart, burnt-offerings. ³² And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the assembly brought, was seventy bullocks, one hundred rams, and two hundred sheep: as a burnt-offering unto the Lord were all these.

¹⁵ And the singers the sons of Assaph were on their station, according to the command of David, and Assaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate: they had no need to depart from their service; because their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

² Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. ³ Whoever among you that is of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel, he is the God who is in Jerusalem. ⁴ And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.

² Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua’, Nehemiah, Serayah, Re’elayah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Misspar, Bigvai, Rechum, Ba’anah. The number of the men of the people of Israel was:

⁴⁰ The Levites were: The children of Jeshua, and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodavyah, seventy and four.

⁸ And in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, did Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel and Jeshua’ the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem make a beginning; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of the Lord.

³ But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua’, and the rest of the of the divisions of Israel, said unto them, It is not obligatory on you and on us to build a house unto our God; but we ourselves together must build unto the Lord the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. ⁴ Then did the people of the land weaken the hands of the people of Judah, and frightened them off from building;

¹¹ This is the copy of the letter which they sent unto him, even unto king Artaxerxes: Thy servants the men on this side the river, and so forth. ¹² Be it made known unto the king, that the Jews who removed away from thee are come up to us unto Jerusalem: they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and are completing the walls, and are joining together the foundations. ¹³ Be it now known unto the king, that, if this city be rebuilt, and the walls be completed, they will not give tax, tribute, and toll, and the royal revenues will suffer damage. ¹⁴ Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not proper for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore have we sent and let the king know this: ¹⁵ That search may be made in the book of the memorable events of thy fathers, and thou wilt find in the book of the memorable events, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have practised sedition within the same from the most ancient time; for which cause this city was destroyed. ¹⁶ We let the king know that, if this city be rebuilt, and its walls be completed, by this means thou wilt have no more any portion on this side of the river.

³ In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus gave an order concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid: its height shall be sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits, ⁴ With three rows of heavy stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house. ⁵ And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away out of the temple which is in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought back unto the temple which is in Jerusalem, every one to its place, and let them be put in the house of God.

²¹ Then did I proclaim a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to request from him a prosperous journey for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. ²² For I was ashamed to ask of the king an army and horsemen to assist us against an enemy on the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath are against all those that forsake him.

⁴³ The Levites: The children of Jeshua’, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.

⁷³ So the priests, and the Levites, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and some of the people, and the temple-servants, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities: and so came round the seventh month, while the children of Israel were in their cities.

¹⁴ And they found written in the law that the Lord had commanded through means of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast in the seventh month.

¹⁴ And they found written in the law that the Lord had commanded through means of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast in the seventh month. ¹⁵ And they ordered that they should publish and have proclamation made throughout all their cities, and through Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mountain and fetch olive-leaves, and oleaster-leaves, and myrtle-leaves, and palm-leaves, and leaves of the three-leaved myrtle, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ And the people went forth, and brought them; and they made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open place by the water-gate, and in the open place by the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation that were returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua’ the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.

¹ And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua’: Serayah, Jeremiah, ‘Ezra,

⁸ And the Levites: Jeshua’, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

²⁴ And the chiefs of the Levites were: Chashabyah, Sherebyah, and Jeshua’ the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the command of David the man of God, section by section.

²⁴ And the chiefs of the Levites were: Chashabyah, Sherebyah, and Jeshua’ the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the command of David the man of God, section by section. ²⁵ Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, ‘Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, ‘Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the days of Joyakim, the son of Jeshua’, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of ‘Ezra the priest, the expounder.

⁴⁰ So did the two companies for thanksgiving place themselves in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me.

⁴³ And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had caused them to rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced: so that the shout of joy of Jerusalem was heard even at a great distance off.

⁷ And thy beginning will have been small; because thy latter end will grow up greatly.

^{11 (5:12)} Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.

⁷ Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter! ⁸ Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. ⁹ Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise them up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter! ¹⁰ Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

¹ Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread? ² When evil-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.

¹ To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach. ^(47:2) All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

^{5 (47:6)} God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.

^{2 (56:3)} Those that regard me with envy long to swallow me up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High. ^{3 (56:4)} The day when I am afraid, I will still trust in thee. ^{4 (56:5)} In God will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?

⁶⁸ But he chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

¹ A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout joyfully unto the Lord, all ye lands. ² Serve the Lord with joy; come before his presence with triumphal song.

^{13 (102:14)} Thou wilt indeed arise; thou wilt have mercy upon Zion; for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time is coming. ^{14 (102:15)} For thy servants hold dear her stones, and her very dust they cherish.

¹⁷ But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children,

¹ Hallelujah. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for to eternity endureth his kindness.

¹ BOOK FIFTH: Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for unto eternity endureth his kindness.

¹ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto eternity endureth his kindness.

⁶ He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth home his sheaves.

³ Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.

¹ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ² O give thanks unto the God of gods; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ³ O give thanks to the Lord of lords; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁴ To him who doth great wonders alone; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁵ To him that made the heavens with understanding; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁶ To him that stretched out the earth above the waters; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁷ To him that made great lights; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ⁸ The sun for the rule by day; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ⁹ The moon and stars for the rule by night; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁰ To him that smote Egypt in their first-born; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹¹ And brought out Israel from the midst of them; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹² With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹³ To him who divided the Red Sea into parts; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁴ And caused Israel to pass through the midst of it; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁵ But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁶ To him who led his people through the wilderness; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁷ To him who smote great kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁸ And slew mighty kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁹ Even Sichon the king of the Emorites; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁰ And ‘Og the king of Bashan; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²¹ And gave their land as an inheritance; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²² As an inheritance unto Israel his servant; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²³ Who hath in our low estate remembered us; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁴ And hath freed us from our assailants; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁵ Who giveth food unto all flesh; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ²⁶ O give thanks unto the God of the heavens; for to eternity endureth his kindness.

¹ A hymn of praise by David. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. ² Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. ³ Great is the Lord, and greatly praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. ⁴ One generation shall praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare. ⁵ On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate. ⁶ And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate. ⁷ The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness. ⁸ Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness. ⁹ The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works. ¹⁰ All thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee. ¹¹ Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:

³ And one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.

⁶ Call aloud and shout, inhabitress of Zion; for great is in the midst of thee the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel: I myself help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

²³ Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it; shout, ye lowest depths of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and on Israel will he glorify himself.

²² The little one shall become a thousand, and the small, a mighty nation: I the Lord will hasten it in its time.

^{8 (31:7)} Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and I will gather them from the farthest ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she that travaileth with child together: a great assembly shall they return hither. ^{9 (31:8)} With weeping shall they come, and with supplications will I bring them in: I will lead them by brooks of water in a straight way, whereon they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

¹¹ The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, “Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:” of those that bring thanksgiving-offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

³⁴ And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

¹⁷ Judah, and the land of Israel, these were thy merchants: in wheat of Minnith, and balsam, and honey, and oil, and balm they carried on thy commerce.

³⁴ Thou didst look on till the moment that a stone tore itself loose, not through human hands, and it struck the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and ground them to pieces. ³⁵ Then were the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold ground up together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no trace was found of them; and the stone that had stricken the image became a mighty mountain, and filled the whole earth.

³ But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tharshish from the presence of the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tharshish, from the presence of the Lord.

⁹ Yea then will I change unto the people a pure language, that they may all call on the name of the Lord, to serve him with one accord.

¹ In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord through means of Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

¹² Then hearkened Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were afraid of the Lord.

¹⁴ And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did work on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God.

² Do say to Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, ³ Who is there yet left among you that hath seen this house in its first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in comparison with it as nothing in your eyes?

³ Who is there yet left among you that hath seen this house in its first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in comparison with it as nothing in your eyes? ⁴ Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord, and be strong O Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and do; for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts,

²¹ Speak to Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, saying, I will cause to quake the heavens and the earth;

²³ On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, the son of Shealthiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and I will place thee as a signet; for of thee have I made choice, saith the Lord of hosts.

¹ And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the accuser standing at his right hand to accuse him.

⁸ Do but hear, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee; for distinguished men are they; for, behold, I will bring my servant Zemach [the Sprout].

⁶ Then answered he and spoke 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. ⁷ Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou wilt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone with shoutings of, Grace, grace unto it.

⁷ Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou wilt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone with shoutings of, Grace, grace unto it. ⁸ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ⁹ The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall complete it: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. ¹⁰ For whoever even despised the day of its small beginning: yet will they rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which hold a survey through all the earth.

¹⁰ For whoever even despised the day of its small beginning: yet will they rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which hold a survey through all the earth.

¹¹ Take also silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak the high priest;

⁹ Be greatly glad, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! behold, thy King will come unto thee, righteous and victorious is he, lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a she-ass.

¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left out of all the nations who will have come against Jerusalem, yea, these shall go up year by year to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁷ And it shall happen, that whoso will not come up out of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts,—even upon these there shall be no rain. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, then shall not any rain fall upon them also: this shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will afflict the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
