Chapter 1:

  1. In the eight month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,   (Zech. 7:1;   Matt. 23:35;   Neh. 12:4;   Neh. 12:16)

      6. "Your fathers, where are they?   And the prophets, do they live forever?   (John 8:52)
    6.  Yet surely My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets,
       did they not overtake your fathers?"  (Isaiah 44:26;   Is. 55:11)
    "So they returned and said:
       'Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us,
       According to our ways and according to our deeds,
       So He has dealt with us.'"'"
  7. On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month,

       He shall bear the glory,
       and shall sit and rule on His throne; (Is. 22:24)
       so He shall be a priest on His throne,
       and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."'  (Ps. 110:4;   Heb. 3:3)

Chapter 10:

  1. Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. (Joel 2:23)  The Lord will make flashing clouds; he will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone.  (Job 29:23;   Prov. 16:15)
  2. For the idols speak delusion; (Jer. 10:8) the diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams; (Jer. 27:9) they comfort in vain. (Job 13:4)  Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; they are in trouble because there is no shepherd.
  3. "My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the goatherds.  (Jer. 25:34-36)  for the Lord of hosts will visit His flock,  (Luke 1:68)  the house of Judah, and will make them as His royal horse in the battle.
  4. From him comes the cornerstone,  (Is. 28:16)  from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him the very ruler together.  (Is. 22:23)
  5. They they shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle.  They shall fight because the Lord is with them,  (Ps. 18:42)  and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.
  6. "I will strengthen

  12. Then I said to them, "If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain."  So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.  (Ex. 21:32;   Matt. 26:15)
      18. "Woe to the worthless shepherd,
        Who leaves the flock!
        A sword shall be against his arm
        And against his right eye;
        His arm shall completely wither,
        And his right eye shall be totally blinded."  (Jer. 23:1)

  8. And it shall come to pass in all the land," says the Lord, "That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it:  (Ezek. 5:2;  Ezek. 5:4;  Ezek. 5:12;   Rom. 11:5)
  9. I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested.   (Is. 48:10;   1 Pet. 1:6)   They will call on My name, and I will answer them.  I will say, 'This is My people';  (Ps. 50:15;   Hos. 2:23)  and each one will say, 'The Lord is my God.'"
