Zechariah 6
1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-colored horses.
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "Go around and through the earth." So they walked back and forth through the earth.
And the ash-colored went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Look, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 "Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and you shall enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
And you shall take silver and gold, and make crowns, and you shall put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, "Look, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah;
and you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceful counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 And the crown shall be to Heldai, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favor of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God."'"
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
