Zechariah 4

JUB

NIV

1 And the angel that talked with me came again and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
1 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.
2 and said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked and behold a lampstand all <em>of</em> gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon the lampstand, and seven pipes for the lamps, which <em>are</em> upon the top thereof:
2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps.
3 and two olive trees over it, one upon the right hand <em>side</em> of the bowl and the other upon the left hand <em>side</em> thereof.
3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What <em>is</em> this, my lord?
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Dost thou not know what this is? And I said, No, my lord.
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I replied.
6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This <em>is the</em> word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, said the LORD of the hosts.
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
7 Who <em>art</em> thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? <em>Thou shalt be reduced to</em> a plain; and he shall bring forth the headstone <em>thereof with</em> shoutings, <em>crying</em>, Grace, grace unto it.
7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’ ”
8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
9 The hands of Zerubbabel shall lay the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you.
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
10 For who has despised the day of small <em>beginnings</em>? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. Those seven <em>are</em> the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
10 “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”
11 Then I spoke and said unto him, What <em>are</em> these two olive trees upon the right hand <em>side</em> of the lampstand and upon the left hand <em>side</em> thereof?
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 And I spoke the second time and said unto him, What <em>are these</em> two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden <em>oil</em> out of themselves?
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 And he answered me and said, Dost thou not know what these <em>are</em>? And I said, No, my lord.
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.
14 Then he said, These two sons of oil <em>are</em> those that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
