Zechariah 6
1 And again I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,
In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grizzled horses.
In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Then I answered and said to the agent who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the agent answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The chariot in which are the black horses goes forth toward the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7 And the strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Get you from here. Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
9 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
10 Take from those of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
“Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 Yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah,
and speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build the LORD’s temple.
13 even he shall build the temple of Jehovah. And he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
He will build the LORD’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the LORD’s temple.
15 And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
Those who are far off shall come and build in the LORD’s temple; and you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the LORD your God’s voice.”’”
