Zacharias 4

1 And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man 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 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:

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 above it, one on the right of the bowl, 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 inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?

And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

9 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.

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 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.

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

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 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?

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 to me, Knowest thou not 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 anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
