Zechariah 4

1 And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.

2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:

3 And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.

4 And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?

5 Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.

6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.

And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.

7 Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

Who art thou, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.

8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.

10 For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.

For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.

11 And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?

And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?

12 And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?

13 And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.

14 And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.

And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
