Zechariah 4

1 And the angel that spoke with me came back again, and waked me up, as a man that is wakened up out of his sleep;

And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.

2 And he said unto me, What art thou seeing? And I said, I have looked, and behold, there is a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon its top, and its seven lamps are thereupon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon its top:

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:

3 And two olive-trees are by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.

4 And I commenced and said unto the angel that spoke with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

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

5 Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

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.

6 Then answered he and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

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.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou wilt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone with shoutings of, Grace, grace unto it.

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.

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

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

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall complete it: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.

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.

10 For whoever even despised the day of [its] small beginning: yet will they rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which hold a survey through all the earth.

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.

11 And I began, and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candle-stick and upon its left?

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

12 And I began a second time, and said unto him, What are these two olive-branches, which are close by the two golden pipes which empty out of themselves the gold-colored oil?

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?

13 And he said to me as followeth, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, my lord.

And he said to me, Know you not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.

14 Then said he, These are the two sons of the clear oil, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
