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 awaked 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 to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are upon the top of it;

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 of it.

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

And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean 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.

Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? 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.

Then he answered and spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to 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.

What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [[The people crying, ]] “Grace, grace be to it!”

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

Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to 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 to 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? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are the eyes of Jehovah, 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 I spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier 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 spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which 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 mean? 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 anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
