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 mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,

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 saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe thereof.

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

And two oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.

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

Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? 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.

Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.

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 mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto it.

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

Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto 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 handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto 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 the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.

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?

Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?

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 spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?

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

And hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, No, my Lord.

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

Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
