1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains--mountains of bronze. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2The first chariot had red horses, the second black, |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3the third white, and the fourth dappled--all of them powerful. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these, my lord?" |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south." |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, "Go throughout the earth!" So they went throughout the earth. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north." |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The word of the LORD came to me: |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jozadak. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13It is he who will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.' |
