Zechariah 4
1Then the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me returnedH7725 and woke meH5782, as a manH376 is awakenedH5782 from his sleepH8142.
2“WhatH4100 do youH859 seeH7200?” he askedH559H413.
“I seeH7200 a solid goldH2091H3605 lampstandH4501,” I repliedH559, “withH2009 a bowlH1543 atH5921 the topH7218 and sevenH7651 lampsH5216 on itH5921, with sevenH7651 spoutsH4166 to the lampsH5216. 3There are also twoH8147 olive treesH2132 beside itH5921, oneH259 on the rightH3225 side of the bowlH1543 and the otherH259 onH5921 its leftH8040.”
4“WhatH4100 are theseH428, my lordH113?” I askedH6030H559H413 the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me.
5“Do you notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 they areH1992?” repliedH6030 the angelH4397.
“NoH3808, my lordH113,” I answeredH428H559.
6So he said to meH6030, “ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068H413 toH413H559 ZerubbabelH2216H559: NotH3808 by mightH2428 norH3808 by powerH3581, butH3588H518 by My SpiritH7307, saysH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635. 7WhatH4310 are youH859, O greatH1419 mountainH2022? BeforeH6440 ZerubbabelH2216 you will become a plainH4334. Then he will bring forthH3318 the capstoneH68H7222 accompanied by shouts ofH8663 ‘GraceH2580, graceH2580 to it!’”
8Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 9“The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have laid the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 houseH1004, and his handsH3027 will complete itH1214. Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 has sent meH7971 to youH413. 10ForH3588 whoH4310 has despisedH936 the dayH3117 of small thingsH6996? But theseH428 sevenH7651 eyesH58691 of the LORDH3068, whichH1992 scanH7751 the wholeH3605 earthH776, will rejoiceH8055 when they seeH7200 the plumb lineH68H9132 in the handH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216.”
11Then I askedH6030 the angel, “WhatH4100 are theH428 twoH8147 olive treesH2132 onH5921 the rightH3225 and leftH8040 of the lampstandH4501H5921?” 12And I questioned himH6030 furtherH8145H559H413, “WhatH4100 are the twoH8147 oliveH2132 branchesH7641 besideH3027 the twoH8147 goldH2091 pipesH6804 from whichH5921 the goldenH2091 oil3 poursH7324?”
13“Do you notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 these areH428?” he inquiredH559.
“NoH3808, my lordH113,” I repliedH559.
14So he saidH559, “TheseH428 are the twoH8147 anointedH3323 onesH11214 who are standingH5975 besideH5921 the LordH113 of allH3605 the earthH776.”5
