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. |
