Zechariah 4

1 And the Angel that talked with mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,

And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.

2 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.

And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.

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

And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”

4 So I answered, and spake to the Angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord?

And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

5 Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord.

And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

6 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.

And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

7 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.

What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.

8 Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

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

9 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.

The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

10 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.

For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.

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

And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”

12 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?

And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”

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

And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

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

And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
