Zechariah 4

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

And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

2 And said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick: all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [were] upon the top of it.

And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

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

And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?

And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

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

Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these 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, saith the LORD of hosts.

This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.

7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth [its] head-stone [with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace, to it.

Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Then 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 thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you.

The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.

11 Then I answered, and said to him, What [are] these two olive-trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon its left [side]?

And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?

12 And I answered again, and said to him, What [are these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.

And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
