The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
1
I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
2
The first chariot had red horses, the second black,
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled, strong horses.
3
the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.
4 And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
4
I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
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 That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth towards the south country;
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 and the strong go forth, and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk to and fro through the earth. And they walked to and fro through the earth.
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 And he cried unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, See, these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
8
Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
