Zechariah 4:4-10

4Then I saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me sayingH559, “WhatH4100 are theseH428, 1my lordH113?” 5So 2the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me answeredH6030 and saidH559 to me, “3Do you not knowH3045 whatH4100 theseH428 are?” And I saidH559, “NoH3808, my lordH113.” 6Then he 4saidH559 to me, “ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to 5ZerubbabelH2216 sayingH559, ‘6Not by mightH2428 norH3808 by powerH3581, but by My 7SpiritH7307,’ saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 7‘WhatH4310 are you, O greatH1419 8mountainH2022? BeforeH6440 ZerubbabelH2216 you will become a plainH4334; and he will bringH3318 forthH3318 the topH7222 stoneH68 with 9shoutsH8663 of “GraceH2580, graceH2580 to it!”’”

8Also the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have 10laidH3245 the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 houseH1004, and his handsH3027 will 11finishH1214 it. Then you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has sentH7971 me to 12you. 10For whoH4310 has despisedH936 the dayH3117 of 13smallH6996 thingsH6996? 14But theseH428 15sevenH7651 will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 the 1617plumbH913H68 lineH68H913 in the handH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216--these are the 18eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 whichH1992 19rangeH7751 to and froH7751 throughoutH3605 the earthH776.”
