Zech 4
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 he said to me, What see you? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a candlestick
all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there
are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon its top;
3
and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon
the left side thereof.
4
And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these,
my lord?
5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Know you not what these
are? And I said, No, my lord.
6
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of YHWH to Zerubbabel,
saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says YHWH of hosts.
7
Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [you shall become] a plain; and he
shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.
8
Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
9
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also
finish it; and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.
10
For who has despised the day of small things? for these seven shall rejoice, and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel; [these are] the eyes of YHWH, which run
to and fro through the whole earth.
11
Then answered I, 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 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 he answered me and said, Know you 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.
