And I turned, and lifted up
mine eyes
, and looked
, and, behold, there came
four
chariots
out
from between two
mountains
; and the mountains
were mountains
of brass
.
In the first chariot
were red
horses
; and in the second
chariot
black
horses
;
And in the third chariot
white
horses
; and in the fourth
chariot
grisled
and bay
horses
.
Then I answered and said
unto the angel
that talked
with me, What are these, my lord
?
And the angel answered
and said
unto me, These are the four
spirits
of the heavens
, which go forth
from standing
before the Lord
of all the earth
.
The black horses
which are therein go forth
into the north
country
; and the white
go forth
after
them; and the grisled
go forth
toward the south
country
.
And the bay went forth
, and sought
to go
that they might walk to and fro
through the earth
: and he said
, Get you hence
, walk to and fro
through the earth
. So they walked to and fro
through the earth
.
Then cried he upon
me, and spake
unto me, saying
, Behold
, these that go
toward the north
country
have quieted
my spirit
in the north
country
.
And the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Take of them of the captivity
, even of Heldai
, of Tobijah
, and of Jedaiah
, which are come
from Babylon
, and come
thou the same day
, and go
into the house
of Josiah
the son
of Zephaniah
;
Then take silver
and gold
, and make
crowns
, and set
them upon the head
of Joshua
the son
of Josedech
, the high
priest
;
And speak unto him, saying
, Thus speaketh
the LORD
of hosts
, saying
, Behold the man
whose name
is The BRANCH
; and he shall grow up
out of his place, and he shall build
the temple
of the LORD
:
Even he shall build the temple
of the LORD
; and he shall bear
the glory
, and shall sit
and rule
upon his throne
; and he shall be a priest
upon his throne
: and the counsel
of peace
shall be between them both
.
And the crowns shall be to Helem
, and to Tobijah
, and to Jedaiah
, and to Hen
the son
of Zephaniah
, for a memorial
in the temple
of the LORD
.
And they that are far off shall come
and build
in the temple
of the LORD
, and ye shall know
that the LORD
of hosts
hath sent
me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently
obey
the voice
of the LORD
your God
.
