Zechariah 4:2-11

2He said to me, “1What do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a 2lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its 3seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it; 3also 4two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.” 4Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, 5my lord?” 5So 6the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “7Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 6Then he 8said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to 9Zerubbabel saying, ‘10Not by might nor by power, but by My 11Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. 7‘What are you, O great 12mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with 13shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

8Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“The hands of Zerubbabel have 14laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will 15finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to 16you. 10For who has despised the day of 17small things? 18But these 19seven will be glad when they see the 2021plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel--these are the 22eyes of the Lord which 23range to and fro throughout the earth.”

11Then I said to him, “What are these 24two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?”
