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 came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened 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 unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;

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

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

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

And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, 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 said unto me, Knowest thou not what these 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 unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

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, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!

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

And the word of Jehovah came unto 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 Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.

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 hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole 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 unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?

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 answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?

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

And he spoke to me, saying, 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 sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
