Zechariah 6:1-8

Common English Bible CEB

1 I looked up again and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains; the mountains were made of bronze.

2 The first chariot had red horses, and the second chariot had black horses.

3 The third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had horses that were heavily spotted.

4 I responded and said to the messenger speaking with me, "What are these, sir?"

5 The messenger answered and said to me, "These are the four winds of heaven that are going out after presenting themselves to the LORD of all the earth.

6 The one with the black horses is going to the north country; the white ones are going to the west; and the spotted ones are going south."

7 Then the powerful ones approached, intent on going to patrol the earth. He said, "Go! Patrol the earth!" So they patrolled the earth.

8 Then he called out and said to me, "Look, the ones going north have provided rest for my spirit in the north."

New International Version NIV

1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,

3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.

4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”

5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”

7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.

8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
