Zechariah 1:3-4Zechariah 1:3-4Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the

LORD of hosts, "Return to Me," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I may return to you," says the LORD of hosts. 4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Return now from your evil ways and from your evil deeds."' But they did not listen or give heed to Me," declares the LORD.

Zechariah 1:8-9Zechariah 1:8-9I saw at night, and behold, a man was

riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel, and white horses behind him. 9 Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are.”

among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."
