    ]the sons of Israel[ 9 ]word of the Lor[d 10 ]you asked [me ... , for a word from] 11
    the Lord you asked me. – Thus says the Lord of Hosts: 12 I will have pity on you, house of
    Israel. I will shout about great deeds to be done for Jerusalem. 13 [Thus] says the Lord,
    the God of Israel: See, all peoples 14 will make war against Jerusalem, and deport from it
    15
    one, two, three, four of the prophets and the elders 16 [and] the pious men.
    My servant David, ask me: 17 ”Give me words [in re]sponse, the sign I ask from you!”
    Thus says 18 the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: My son, in my hands I have 19 a new
    covenant for Israel, on the third day you will know it. Thus says 20 the Lord God of
    Hosts, the God of Israel: Evil will be broken before 21 righteousness. Ask me, and I will
    tell you what this 22 evil plant is. You do not stand on firm ground, but the angel 23 is your
    support, do not fear!
    – Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his 24 dwelling! – In a little while I will shake
    25
    [the powers of] heaven and the earth.
    – See the glory of the Lord God 26 of Hosts, the God of Israel! The God of the chariots
    will listen to 27 the cry of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and bring consolation for the
    sake of 28 the hosts of the angel Michael, and for the sake of those who have loved 29 and
    asked him.
    Thus says the Lord God of Hosts, the God of 30 Israel: One, two, three, four, five, six,
    31
    [seven.] ... And the angel asked: ”The thing you saw, what was it?” – I answered: ”A
    [mighty] tree.” 32 – ”Yes, Jerusalem shall be as in former days.” – And I saw two 33
    guarding Jerusalem, three who perform mighty deeds. 34 ... three ... 35 ... See: a man
    standing and ... [on the wall] 36 and he ... who will give a signal from Jerusalem. 37 And I
    stand over ... and he said: This is the first revelation, 38 and this is the second revelation,
    ... and these are the poor ones. And I saw 39 [...
    I will take pity on] Jerusalem, says the Lord of 40 Hosts ... 41 ... His glory, and I
    shall see wonders 43 ... walls ... 50 [The Lord your God] 51 is with you, your Shepherd[ is
    with you ... providing help] 52 from the angels and from on high.
    [The enemy shall make war] 53 against his people, and the next day ... [a sign will be
    given to them,] 54 on the third day, as it is said. ... he ... 56 Yea, see ... [it shall be] 57 an
    end to the blood of the slaughtering in Jerusalem.
    For thus says the Lord of Hosts, 58 the God of Israel. Yes, thus says the Lord of Hosts,
    the God of 59 Israel, thus says the Lord: [I will pour out 60 over Jeru]salem a spirit of
    grace and supplication. 61 ... Blessed are those ... 64 ...
    [These are the] 65 three holy ones from days of old, from the beg[inning ... ] 66
    Jerusalem, say: ”We trust in you, [not in] 67 flesh and blood.” This is the chariot of [your
    guardian angel.] 68 There are many who love the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel. 69
    Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: [Three] 70 prophets I sent to my people,
    three shepherds. But when 71 I pondered on the ways [of my people] I called them back to
    72
    the place for the sake of David, the servant of the Lord.
    – Y[ou created 73 the heavens and the earth by your [great] power and by your
    outstretched 74 [arm]. You show mercy towards thousand generations ...
    75
    Three shepherds came to Israel ... [to see] 76 if there were [pious ones] among them,
    if there were holy ones among them ...
    77
    ”Who are you?” – ”I am Gabriel, the angel of [the Lord.] ... 78 you shall rescue them.
    A prophe[t and a shep]herd shall rescue you. – [I p]ray 79 you for three shepherds, for
    three [pro]phets.
    80
    On the third day: the sign! I am Gabriel, the king of kings, 81 the prince of princes, of
    those who are close to the courts ... 82 The sign is for him ... [thus they a]sk you. See
    those who love the king! 83 On the third day, the small one that I took, I Gabriel. 84 The
    Lord of Hosts, the God of I[srael] ... 85 Then you will stand firm 87 ... for ever
