Noyes - Zechariah - 4

4:1  And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked 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 chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are 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 of it.

4:4  And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these, my lord?

4:5  Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

4:6  Then he answered and spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying:— Not by might, nor by power, But by my spirit, Saith Jehovah of hosts.

4:7  What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [The people crying,] "Grace, grace be to it!"

4:8  Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it. And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.

4:10  For who hath despised the day of small things? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

4:11  Then I spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier and upon the left side thereof?

4:12  And I spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which empty the golden oil out of themselves?

4:13  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

4:14  And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
