Zechariah:4-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the angel that talked with me came again ,
and waked me ,
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep ,
*
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 :
*
And two olive trees by it ,
one upon the right side of the bowl ,
and the other upon the left side thereof .
*
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me ,
saying ,
What are these ,
my lord ?
*
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me ,
Knowest thou not what these be ?
And I said ,
No ,
my lord .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ?
*
And he answered me and said ,
Knowest thou not what these be ?
And I said ,
No ,
my lord .
*
Then said he ,
These are the two anointed ones ,
that stand by the Lord of the whole earth .
*
Then I turned ,
and lifted up mine eyes ,
and looked ,
and behold a flying roll .
*
And he said unto me ,
What seest thou ?
And I answered ,
I see a flying roll ;
the length thereof is twenty cubits ,
and the breadth thereof ten cubits .
*
Then said he unto me ,
This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth :
for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it ;
and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it .
*
I will bring it forth ,
saith the LORD of hosts ,
and it shall enter into the house of the thief ,
and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name :
and it shall remain in the midst of his house ,
and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof .
*
Then the angel that talked with me went forth ,
and said unto me ,
Lift up now thine eyes ,
and see what is this that goeth forth .
*
And I said ,
What is it ?
And he said ,
This is an ephah that goeth forth .
He said moreover ,
This is their resemblance through all the earth .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was lifted up a talent of lead :
and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah .
*
And he said ,
This is wickedness .
And he cast it into the midst of the ephah ;
and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof .
*
Then lifted I up mine eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
there came out two women ,
and the wind was in their wings ;
for they had wings like the wings of a stork :
and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven .
*
Then said I to the angel that talked with me ,
Whither do these bear the ephah ?
*
And he said unto me ,
To build it an house in the land of Shinar :
and it shall be established ,
and set there upon her own base .
*
And I turned ,
and lifted up mine eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
there came four chariots out from between two mountains ;
and the mountains were mountains of brass .
