< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the Angel that talked with mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.
2 And saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe thereof.
And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,
3 And two oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
4 So I answered, and spake to the Angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord?
And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord.
Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto it.
Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.
8 Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
9 The handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
10 For who hath despised the day of the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.
For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?
Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it?
12 And I spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?
And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, No, my Lord.
And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
