Zechariah 4:1-7 ▼

1 Then the angel who spoke with me returned and aroused me, like one awakened from sleep.

2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on top of it. There are seven lamps on it, with seven spouts on each of the lamps that are on top of it.

3 And beside it are two olive trees, one on the right of the bowl and one to its left.”

4 Then I said to the angel who spoke with me, “What are these things, my lord?”

5 And the angel who spoke with me replied, “Do you not know what these things are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

6 Then he said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, and not by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.

7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you become a plain. He will bring forth the first stone amid shouts of ‘Favor, favor be upon it!’”
