Zechariah 4

1 Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.

2 “What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.

3 There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”

4 “What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

5 “Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.

6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.

7 What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

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

9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.

10 For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

11 Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

12 And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”

13 “Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.

14 So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”

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

2 And said unto 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 his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] 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] thereof.

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

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

6 Then he answered and spake 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.

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

8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto 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.

11 ¶ Then answered I, and said unto 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 unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [be]? 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.

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as one is waked from sleep,

2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said: And, behold, there stood a candlestick all of gold, with a vase upon it, and seven lamps thereon, and seven wedges to each lamp,

3 And two olive trees with them, one on the right hand of the bowl, and the other on the left.

4 And I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, My lord, what is this?

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

6 And he answered and said unto me, This is the word of the LORD of Zerubbabel, saying, It shall not be by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain, which must be a plain before Zerubbabel? And he shall bring up the first stone, and they shall cry: Good fortune, good fortune!

8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have founded this house; his hands also shall finish it, that ye may know that the LORD hath sent me unto you.

10 For who shall despise these few days, when they shall rejoice, and see the measure of brass in Zerubbabel's hand, with the seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, which run through all the land?

11 And I answered and said unto him, What are the two olive trees on the right hand and on the left hand of the candlestick?

12 And I answered the second time, and said unto him, What are the two olive branches which are by the two golden branches of the golden candlestick, to break off the top of the golden candlestick?

13 And he said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 And he said, These are the two children of oil, which stand by the ruler of all the land.
