The Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees

1And the messenger speaking with me will turn back and rouse me up as a man that will be roused from his sleep. 2And he will say to me, What seest thou? And saying, I saw, and behold, a candlestick of gold, all of it, and a bowl upon its head, and its seven lights upon it, and seven tubes to the seven lights which were upon its head: 3And two olive trees upon it, one from the right of the bowl and one from its left. 4And I shall answer and say to the messenger speaking with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 5And the messenger speaking with me will answer and say to me, Knewest thou not what these are? And saying, No, my lord. 6And he will answer And say to me, saying, This the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by strength, not by power, but by my spirit, said Jehovah of armies. 7Who art thou, O great mountain? before the face of Zerubbabel for a level region. And he brought forth the stone of the head, a noise: Grace, grace to it.

8And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, 9The hands of Zerubbabel founded this house, and his hands shall complete it; and thou knewest that Jehovah of armies sent me to you. 10For who despised the day of small things? and they rejoiced, and they saw the stone of tin in the hand of Zerubbabel, these seven; they the eyes of Jehovah running to and fro in all the earth.

11And I shall answer and say to him, What these two olive trees upon the right of the candlestick and upon its left? 12And I shall answer the second time, and say to him, What these two twigs of the olive trees which by the hand of the two tubes of gold emptying from them the gold? 13And he will say to me, saying, Knewest thou not what these are? And saying, No, my lord. 14And he will say, These the two sons of new oil standing by the Lord, of all the earth.
