Zechariah 1:9-12

9“What do these horses mean, sir?” I asked. The angel who was speaking with me answered, “I will show you what they mean.”

10The man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They’re the horses the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.”

11Then they reported to the Messenger of the Lord standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth. The whole world is at rest and in peace.”

12Then the Messenger of the Lord said, “Lord of Armies, how much longer until you show compassion to Jerusalem and the cities of Judah? You’ve been angry with them for 70 years.”
