| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'" |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?" |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?" |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13He replied, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I said. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth." |
