Zechariah 1:7-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

Patrol of the Earth

⁷ On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, as follows: ⁸ I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a ^(A)red horse, and he was standing among the ^(B)myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel and ^(C)white horses behind him. ⁹ Then I said, “My ^(D)lord, what are these?” And the ^(E)angel 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 the Lord has sent to ^[a](F)patrol the earth.” ¹¹ So they answered the angel of the Lord who was ^(G)standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have ^[b]patrolled the earth, and behold, ^(H)all the earth is ^[c]peaceful and quiet.”
