Zechariah 4:4-10

4Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, 1my lord?” 5So 2the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “3Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 6Then he said to 4me, “This is the word of the Lord to 5Zerubbabel, saying, ‘6Not by might nor by power, but by My 7Spirit,’ says the Lord of armies. 7‘What are you, you great 8mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring out the top stone with 9shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

8Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“The hands of Zerubbabel have 10laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will 11finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent me to 12you. 10For who has shown contempt for the day of 13small things? 14But these 15seven will rejoice when they see the 1617plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel--they are the 18eyes of the Lord 19roaming throughout the earth.”
