v1

Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

v2

In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;

v3

in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

v4

Then I asked the angel who talked with me, โ€œWhat are these, my lord?โ€œ

v5

The angel answered me, โ€œThese are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

v6

The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.โ€

v7

The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, โ€œGo around and through the earth!โ€ So they walked back and forth through the earth.

v8

Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, โ€œBehold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.โ€

v9

Yahwehโ€™s word came to me, saying,

v10

โ€œTake of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.

v11

Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

v12

and speak to him, saying, โ€˜Yahweh of Armies says, โ€œBehold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahwehโ€™s temple;

v13

even he shall build Yahwehโ€™s temple; 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.

v14

The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahwehโ€™s temple.

v15

Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahwehโ€™s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your Godโ€™s voice.โ€โ€˜โ€
