Zechariah 4:2-10

2He saidH559 to me, “1WhatH4100 do you seeH7200?” And I saidH559, “I seeH7200, and beholdH2009, a 2lampstandH4501 allH3605 of goldH2091 with its bowlH1543 on the topH7218 of it, and its 3sevenH7651 lampsH5216 on it with sevenH7651 spoutsH4166 belonging to each of the lampsH5216 whichH834 are on the topH7218 of it; 3also 4twoH8147 oliveH2132 treesH2132 by it, oneH259 on the rightH3225 sideH3225 of the bowlH1543 and the otherH259 on its leftH8040 sideH8040.” 4Then I saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me sayingH559, “WhatH4100 are theseH428, 5my lordH113?” 5So 6the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me answeredH6030 and saidH559 to me, “7Do you not knowH3045 whatH4100 theseH428 are?” And I saidH559, “NoH3808, my lordH113.” 6Then he 8saidH559 to me, “ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to 9ZerubbabelH2216 sayingH559, ‘10Not by mightH2428 norH3808 by powerH3581, but by My 11SpiritH7307,’ saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 7‘WhatH4310 are you, O greatH1419 12mountainH2022? BeforeH6440 ZerubbabelH2216 you will become a plainH4334; and he will bringH3318 forthH3318 the topH7222 stoneH68 with 13shoutsH8663 of “GraceH2580, graceH2580 to it!”’”

8Also the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have 14laidH3245 the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 houseH1004, and his handsH3027 will 15finishH1214 it. Then you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has sentH7971 me to 16you. 10For whoH4310 has despisedH936 the dayH3117 of 17smallH6996 thingsH6996? 18But theseH428 19sevenH7651 will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 the 2021plumbH913H68 lineH68H913 in the handH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216--these are the 22eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 whichH1992 23rangeH7751 to and froH7751 throughoutH3605 the earthH776.”
