| Chapter 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. --
