Dual Panel1Now I lifted<5375> up my eyes<5869> again<7725> and looked<7200>, and behold<2009>, four<702> chariots<4818> were coming<3318> forth<3318> from between<996> the two<8147> mountains<2022>; and the mountains<2022> were bronze<5178> mountains<2022>.
2With the first<7223> chariot<4818> were red<122> horses<5483>, with the second<8145> chariot<4818> black<7838> horses<5483>,
3with the third<7992> chariot<4818> white<3836> horses<5483>, and with the fourth<7243> chariot<4818> strong<554> dappled<1261> horses<5483>.
4Then I spoke<6030> and said<559> to the angel<4397> who was speaking<1696> with me, "What<4100> are these<428>, my lord<113>?"
5The angel<4397> replied<6030> to me, "These<428> are the four<702> spirits<7307> of heaven<8064>, going<3318> forth<3318> after<4480> standing<3320> before<5921> the Lord<136> of all<3605> the earth<776>,
6with one of which<834> the black<7838> horses<5483> are going<3318> forth<3318> to the north<6828> country<776>; and the white<3836> ones<3836> go<3318> forth<3318> after<413><310> them, while the dappled<1261> ones<1261> go<3318> forth<3318> to the south<8486> country<776>.
7"When the strong<554> ones<554> went<3318> out, they were eager<1245> to go<1980> to patrol<1980> the earth<776>." And He said<559>, "Go<1980>, patrol<1980> the earth<776>." So they patrolled<1980> the earth<776>.
8Then He cried<2199> out to me and spoke<1696> to me saying<559>, "See<7200>, those who are going<3318> to the land<776> of the north<6828> have appeased<5117> My wrath<7307> in the land<776> of the north<6828>."
9The word<1697> of the LORD<3068> also came<1961> to me, saying<559>,
10"Take<3947> an offering from the exiles<1473>, from Heldai<2469>, Tobijah<2900> and Jedaiah<3048>; and you go<935> the same<1931> day<3117> and enter<935> the house<1004> of Josiah<2977> the son<1121> of Zephaniah<6846>, where<834> they have arrived<935> from Babylon<894>.
11"Take<3947> silver<3701> and gold<2091>, make<6213> an ornate crown<5850> and set<7760> it on the head<7218> of Joshua<3091> the son<1121> of Jehozadak<3087>, the high<1419> priest<3548>.
12"Then say<559> to him, 'Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635>, "Behold<2009>, a man<376> whose name<8034> is Branch<6780>, for He will branch<6779> out from where<8478> He is; and He will build<1129> the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068>.
13"Yes, it is He who will build<1129> the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068>, and He who will bear<5375> the honor<1935> and sit<3427> and rule<4910> on His throne<3678>. Thus, He will be a priest<3548> on His throne<3678>, and the counsel<6098> of peace<7965> will be between<996> the two<8147> offices."'
14"Now the crown<5850> will become<1961> a reminder<2146> in the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068> to Helem<2494>, Tobijah<2900>, Jedaiah<3048> and Hen<2581> the son<1121> of Zephaniah<6846>.
15"Those who<7350> are far<7350> off will come<935> and build<1129> the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068>." Then you will know<3045> that the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635> has sent<7971> me to you. And it will take<1961> place<1961> if<518> you completely<8085> obey<8085><6963> the LORD<3068> your God<430>.
