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 came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;

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 beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.

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

And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

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

6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Hosts.

And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

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 art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!

8 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

And the word of Jehovah came unto 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 Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto 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 LORD’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.

11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”

And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?

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 answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?

13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” 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 he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
