Zechariah 6

The Four Chariots

1Now I raisedH5375 my eyesH5869 againH7725 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 1fourH702 chariotsH4818 were goingH3318 outH3318 from betweenH996 the twoH8147 mountainsH2022; and the mountainsH2022 were bronzeH5178 mountainsH2022. 2With the firstH7223 chariotH4818 were 2redH122 horsesH5483, with the secondH8145 chariotH4818 3blackH7838 horsesH5483, 3with the thirdH7992 chariotH4818 4whiteH3836 horsesH5483, and with the fourthH7243 chariotH4818 strongH554 5spottedH1261 horsesH5483. 4So I respondedH6030 and saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me, “6WhatH4100 are theseH428, my lordH113?” 5The angelH4397 repliedH6030 to me, “TheseH428 are the 7fourH702 spiritsH7307 of heavenH8064, goingH3318 outH3318 afterH4480 takingH3320 their standH3320 beforeH5921 the LordH136 of allH3605 the earthH776, 6with one of whichH834 the blackH7838 horsesH5483 are goingH3318 outH3318 to the 8northH6828 countryH776; and the whiteH3836 onesH3836 are to goH3318 outH3318 afterH413H310 them, while the spottedH1261 onesH1261 are to goH3318 outH3318 to the 9southH8486 countryH776.” 7When the strongH554 onesH554 wentH3318 outH3318, they 10wereH1245 eagerH1245 to goH1980 to 1112patrolH1980 the earthH776. And He saidH559, “GoH1980, 13patrolH1980 the earthH776.” So they 14patrolledH1980 the earthH776. 8Then He calledH2199 outH2199 to me and spokeH1696 to me, sayingH559, “SeeH7200, those who are goingH3318 to the landH776 of the northH6828 have 1516appeasedH5117 My wrathH7307 in the landH776 of the northH6828.”

9The 17wordH1697 of the LordH3068 also cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 10“18TakeH3947 an offering from the exilesH1473, from HeldaiH2469, TobijahH2900, and JedaiahH3048; and you shall goH935 the sameH1931 dayH3117 and enterH935 the houseH1004 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of ZephaniahH6846, whereH834 they have arrivedH935 from BabylonH894.

The Symbolic Crowns

11Also takeH3947 silverH3701 and goldH2091, makeH6213 an ornate 19crownH5850, and setH7760 it on the headH7218 of 20JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548. 12Then sayH559 to him, ‘The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, there is a ManH376 whose nameH8034 is 2122BranchH6780, for He will 2324branchH6779 outH6779 from whereH8478 He is; and He will 25buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LordH3068. 13Yes, it is He who will buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, and He who will 26bearH5375 the majestyH1935 and sitH3427 and 27ruleH4910 on His throneH3678. So He will be a 28priestH3548 on His throneH3678, and the counselH6098 of peaceH7965 will be betweenH996 the twoH8147 29offices.”’ 14Now the 30crownH5850 will becomeH1961 a reminderH2146 in the templeH1964 of the LordH3068 to HelemH2494, TobijahH2900, JedaiahH3048, and 31HenH2581 the sonH1121 of ZephaniahH6846. 1532Those who are farH7350 awayH7350 will comeH935 and 33buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LordH3068.” Then you will 34knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has sentH7971 me to you. And it will takeH1961 placeH1961 ifH518 you completelyH8085 35obeyH8085H6963 36the LordH3068 your GodH430.
