Zechariah 4
1 And the
angel that
talked with me came
again, and
waked me, as a
man that is
wakened out of his
sleep, 2 And
said unto me, What
seest thou? And I
said, I have
looked, and behold a
candlestick all of
gold, with a
bowl upon the
top of it, and his
seven lamps thereon, and
seven pipes to the
seven lamps, which are upon the
top thereof:
3 And
two olive
trees by it,
one upon the
right side of the
bowl, and the
other upon the
left side thereof.
4 So I
answered and
spake to the
angel that
talked with me,
saying, What are these, my
lord? 5 Then the
angel that
talked with me
answered and
said unto me,
Knowest thou not what these be? And I
said, No, my
lord. 6 Then he
answered and
spake unto me,
saying, This is the
word of the
LORD unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by
might, nor by
power, but by my
spirit, saith the
LORD of
hosts. 7 Who art thou, O
great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring
forth the
headstone thereof with
shoutings, crying,
Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the
word of the
LORD came unto me,
saying,
9 The
hands of
Zerubbabel have laid the
foundation of this
house; his
hands shall also
finish it; and thou shalt
know that the
LORD of
hosts hath
sent me unto you.
10 For who hath
despised the
day of small
things? for they shall
rejoice, and shall
see the
plummet in the
hand of
Zerubbabel with those
seven; they are the
eyes of the
LORD, which run to and
fro through the whole
earth. 11 Then
answered I, and
said unto him, What are these
two olive
trees upon the
right side of the
candlestick and upon the
left side thereof?
12 And I
answered again, and
said unto him, What be these
two olive branches which
through the
two golden pipes empty the
golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he
answered me and
said,
Knowest thou not what these be? And I
said, No, my
lord. 14 Then
said he, These are the
two anointed ones, that
stand by the
Lord of the whole
earth.
