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 that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened 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 seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.

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 over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

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

And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, 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.

And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou 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, saith the LORD of hosts.

And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

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 art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.

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

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath 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 hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole 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 answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?

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 I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?

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

And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not 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 two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
