Zechariah 6
- 1And I turned, and looked up and saw, and there came four chariots out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze.
- 2In the first chariot were red horses. And in the second chariot black horses.
- 3And in the third chariot white horses. And in the fourth chariot dappled and bay horses.
- 4Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
- 5And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
- 6The black horses which are in it go out into the north country. And the white go out after them. And the dappled go out toward the south country.
- 7And the bay went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, Get away from here, walk back and forth through the earth. So they walked back and forth through the earth.
- 8Then he cried on me, and spoke to me, saying, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
- 9And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
- 10Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which have come from Babylon, and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
- 11Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest.
- 12And speak to him, saying, The Lord of Hosts says this, saying, See the man whose name is The Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:
- 13Even he shall build the temple of the Lord. And he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And he shall be a priest on his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
- 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
- 15And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord of Hosts has sent me to you. And this will happen, if you will carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God.
