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 said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven 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 by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my master?
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.
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master.
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.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of YHWH unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith YHWH 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 shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Favour, favour unto it.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Moreover the word of YHWH 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; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that YHWH 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? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of YHWH, which run to and fro through 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?
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
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 again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master.
14 And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Master of the whole earth.
