Zechariah 4

4
Fifth night vision
1The messenger speaking with me returned and woke me like one who awakens someone who is asleep.
2Then he said to me, “What do you see?”
I said, “I see a lampstand
made entirely of gold.
It has a bowl on top.
The bowl has seven lamps on top
and seven metal pipes for those lamps.
3It has two olive trees beside the lampstand,
one to the right of its bowl and one to the left.”
4I responded to the messenger speaking with me,
“What are these, sir?”
5The messenger responded to me:
“Don’t you know what these are?”
I said, “No, sir. I don’t.”
6He answered me:
“This is the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel:
Neither by power, nor by strength,
but by my spirit, says the LORD of heavenly forces.”
7Who are you, great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain.
He will present the capstone to shouts of great gratitude.
8The LORD’s word came to me:
9The hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of this house,
and his hands will finish it
so that you will know that the LORD of heavenly forces has sent me to you.
10Those who despise a time of little things will rejoice when they see the plumb line#4.10 Or stone, tin in Zerubbabel’s hand.
These are the seven eyes of the LORD, surveying the entire earth.
11I responded to him,
“What are these two olive trees on the right and left sides of the lampstand?”
12Then I responded a second time,
“What are these two olive branches that empty out golden oil through the two gold pipes?”
13He said to me, “Don’t you know what these are?”
I said, “No, sir.”
14He said,
“These are the two anointed ones#4.14 Or sons of oil standing beside the LORD of all the earth.”
