NASB Bible

Zechariah 4

The Golden Lampstand and Olive Trees

1

Then  athe angel who was speaking with me returned and  broused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep.

2

He said to me, " aWhat do you see?" And I said, "I see, and behold, a  blampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its  cseven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

3

also  atwo olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side."

4

Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, "What are these,  amy lord?"

5

So  athe angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, " bDo you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

6

Then he  1said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to  aZerubbabel saying, ` bNot by might nor by power, but by My  cSpirit,' says the LORD of hosts.

7

`What are you, O great  amountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with  bshouts of "Grace, grace to it!""'

8

Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9

"The hands of Zerubbabel have  alaid the foundation of this house, and his hands will  bfinish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to  1you.

10

"For who has despised the day of  asmall things?  1But these  bseven will be glad when they see the  2 cplumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel--these are the  deyes of the LORD which  erange to and fro throughout the earth."

11

Then I said to him, "What are these  atwo olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?"

12

And I answered the second time and said to him, "What are the two olive  1branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?"

13

So he answered me, saying, " aDo you not know what these are?" And I said, "No,  bmy lord."

14

Then he said, "These are the two  1 aanointed ones who are  bstanding by the  cLord of the whole earth."
