Zechariah 4

1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened 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 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

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 by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

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

4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

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

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" 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 he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says 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 are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to 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 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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

9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to 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 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole 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 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

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 I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"

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 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

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

14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who 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.
