Zechariah Chapter 4 (Index)

001  And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

002  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:

003  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

004  So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

005  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

006  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.

007  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.

008  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

009  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.

010  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.

011  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?

012  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?

013  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

014  Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
