< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:
3 and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
4 And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
5 Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7 Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.
Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it?
Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof?
12 And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [be]? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
