Zechariah 4:2-12
2And he 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 4spoutsH4166 belonging to each of the lampsH5216 whichH834 are on the topH7218 of it; 3also 5twoH8147 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, 6my lordH113?” 5So 7the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me answeredH6030 and saidH559 to me, “8Do you not knowH3045 whatH4100 theseH428 are?” And I saidH559, “NoH3808, my lordH113.” 6Then he saidH559 to 9me, “ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to 10ZerubbabelH2216, sayingH559, ‘11Not by mightH2428 norH3808 by powerH3581, but by My 12SpiritH7307,’ saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. 7‘WhatH4310 are you, you greatH1419 13mountainH2022? BeforeH6440 ZerubbabelH2216 you will become a plainH4334; and he will bringH3318 outH3318 the topH7222 stoneH68 with 14shoutsH8663 of “GraceH2580, graceH2580 to it!”’”
8Also the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have 15laidH3245 the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 houseH1004, and his handsH3027 will 16finishH1214 it. Then you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has sentH7971 me to 17you. 10For whoH4310 has shownH936 contemptH936 for the dayH3117 of 18smallH6996 thingsH6996? 19But theseH428 20sevenH7651 will rejoiceH8055 when they seeH7200 the 2122plumbH913H68 lineH68H913 in the handH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216--they are the 23eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 24roamingH7751 throughoutH3605 the earthH776.”
11Then I saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 are theseH428 25twoH8147 oliveH2132 treesH2132 on the rightH3225 of the lampstandH4501 and on its leftH8040?” 12And I respondedH6030 the secondH8145 timeH8145 and saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 are the twoH8147 oliveH2132 26branchesH7641 whichH834 are besideH3027 the twoH8147 goldenH2091 pipesH6804, which emptyH7385 the goldenH2091 oil from themselves?”
