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 mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
2 And he said to me, What see you? 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 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 above it, one on the right of the bowl, 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 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 Lord?
5 And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Know you not what these things 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 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, says the Lord Almighty.
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, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that you should 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 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty 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 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 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 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 vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon 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 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 to me, Know you not 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 anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
