¹ 他带我出来向北，到外院，又带我进入圣屋；这圣屋一排顺着空地，一排与北边铺石地之屋相对。

² 这圣屋长一百肘，宽五十肘，有向北的门。

³ 对着内院那二十肘宽之空地，又对着外院的铺石地，在第三层楼上有楼廊对着楼廊。

⁴ 在圣屋前有一条夹道，宽十肘，长一百肘。房门都向北。

⁵ 圣屋因为楼廊占去些地方，所以上层比中下两层窄些。

⁶ 圣屋有三层，却无柱子，不像外院的屋子有柱子；所以上层比中下两层更窄。

⁷ 圣屋外，东边有墙，靠着外院，长五十肘。

⁸ 靠着外院的圣屋长五十肘。殿北面的圣屋长一百肘。

⁹ 在圣屋以下，东头有进入之处，就是从外院进入之处。

¹⁰ 向南（原文是东）在内院墙里有圣屋，一排与铺石地之屋相对，一排顺着空地。

¹¹ 这圣屋前的夹道与北边圣屋的夹道长宽一样；出入之处与北屋门的样式相同。

¹² 正在墙前、夹道的东头，有门可以进入，与向南圣屋的门一样。

¹³ 他对我说：顺着空地的南屋北屋，都是圣屋；亲近耶和华的祭司当在那里吃至圣的物，也当在那里放至圣的物，就是素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭，因此处为圣。

¹⁴ 祭司进去出了圣所的时候，不可直到外院，但要在圣屋放下他们供职的衣服，因为是圣衣；要穿上别的衣服才可以到属民的外院。

¹⁵ 他量完了内殿，就带我出朝东的门，量院的四围。

¹⁶ 他用量度的竿量四围，量东面五百肘（原文是竿；本章下同），

¹⁷ 用竿量北面五百肘，.

¹⁸ 用竿量南面五百肘，

¹⁹ 又转到西面，用竿量五百肘。

²⁰ 他量四面，四围有墙，长五百肘，宽五百肘，为要分别圣地与俗地。

¹ It happened in the fourth year of king Darius that the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.

² The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat Yahweh's favor,

³ and to speak to the priests of the house of Yahweh of Armies, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"

⁴ Then the word of Yahweh of Armies came to me, saying,

⁵ "Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?

⁶ When you eat, and when you drink, don't you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

⁷ Aren't these the words which Yahweh proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?'"

⁸ The word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying,

⁹ "Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.

¹⁰ Don't oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'

¹¹ But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

¹² Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Armies.

¹³ It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said Yahweh of Armies;

¹⁴ "but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."
