Zechariah:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The angel who talked with me came again ,
and wakened me ,
as a man who is wakened out of his sleep .
*
He said to me , "
What do you see ?"
I said , "
I have seen ,
and behold ,
a lampstand all of gold ,
with its bowl on the top of it ,
and its seven lamps thereon ;
there are seven pipes to each of the lamps ,
which are on the top of it ;
*
and two olive trees by it ,
one on the right side of the bowl ,
and the other on the left side of it ."
*
I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me ,
saying , "
What are these ,
my lord ?"
*
Then the angel who talked with me answered me , "
Don '
t you know what these are ?"
I said , "
No ,
my lord ."
*
Then he answered and spoke to me ,
saying , "
This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel ,
saying , '
Not by might ,
nor by power ,
but by my Spirit ,'
says Yahweh of Armies .
*
Who are you ,
great mountain ?
Before Zerubbabel you are a plain ;
and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of '
Grace ,
grace ,
to it !'"
*
Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me ,
saying ,
* "
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house .
His hands shall also finish it ;
and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you .
*
Indeed ,
who despises the day of small things ?
For these seven shall rejoice ,
and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel .
These are the eyes of Yahweh ,
which run back and forth through the whole earth ."
*
Then I asked him , "
What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it ?"
*
I asked him the second time , "
What are these two olive branches ,
which are beside the two golden spouts ,
that pour the golden oil out of themselves ?"
*
He answered me , "
Don '
t you know what these are ?"
I said , "
No ,
my lord ."
*
Then he said , "
These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord {
The word translated "
Lord "
is "
Adonai ."}
of the whole earth ."
