Zechariah 1:7-13

Zechariah 1:7-13

[7] Upon the four  and twentieth  day  of the eleventh  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,  [8] I saw  by night,  and behold a man  riding  upon a red  horse,  and he stood  among the myrtle trees  that were in the bottom;  and behind  him were there red  horses,  speckled,  and white.  [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. [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.  [11] And they answered  the angel  that stood  among the myrtle trees,  and said,  We have walked to and fro  through the earth,  sitteth still,  and is at rest.  [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?  [13] And the LORD  answered  the angel  that talked  with me with good  words  and comfortable  words.
