4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me,
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
4:2 And said to 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 its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven
lamps, which [were] upon the top of it.
4:3 And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the
bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
4:4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me,
saying, What [are] these, my lord?
4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me,
Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, my lord.
4:6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This [is] the word
of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power,
but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
4:7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou
shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth [its]
head-stone [with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace, to it.
4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
4:9 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 to you.
4:10 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.
4:11 Then I answered, and said to him, What [are] these two
olive-trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon
its left [side]?
4:12 And I answered again, and said to him, What [are these] two
olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the
golden [oil] out of themselves?
4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these
[are]? And I said, No, my lord.
4:14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand
by the LORD of the whole earth.
