Zechariah 4

The Golden Lampstand and Olive Trees

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and roused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep.

The Gold Lampstand

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

He said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

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:

also two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.”

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

Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, my lord?”

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

So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, 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 said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.

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.

‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

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.

Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

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

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

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 has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel — these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth.”

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 I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?”

The Two Olive Trees

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 the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?”

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?

So he answered me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

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

Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”

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