1 ¶ And the angelº that talkedºª with me came again,ºª and wakedºª me, as a manº that² is wakenedºª out of his sleep,º² 2 And saidºª unto² me, What² seestºª thou?² And I said,ºª I have looked,ºª and behold² a candlestickº all² [of] gold,º with a bowl¹² upon² the topº of it, and his sevenº lampsº thereon,² and sevenº pipesº to the sevenº lamps,º which² [are] upon² the topº thereof: 3 And twoº olive treesº by² it, oneº upon the rightº² [side] of the bowl,º and the otherº upon² the leftº [side] thereof. 4 So I answeredºª and spakeºª to² the angelº that talkedºª with me, saying,ºª What² [are] these,² my lord?º 5 Then the angelº that talkedºª with me answeredºª and saidºª unto² me, Knowestºª thou not² what² these² be? And I said,ºª No,² my lord.º 6 Then he answeredºª and spakeºª unto² me, saying,ºª This² [is] the wordº of the LORDº unto² Zerubbabel,º saying,ºª Not² by might,º nor² by power,º but²² by my spirit,º saithºª the LORDº of hosts.º 7 Who² [art] thou,² O greatº mountain?º beforeº Zerubbabelº [thou shalt become] a plain:º and he shall bring forthºª² the headstoneºº [thereof with] shoutings,º [crying], Grace,º graceº unto it. 8 Moreover the wordº of the LORDº came² unto² me, saying,ºª 9 The handsº of Zerubbabelº have laid the foundationºª of this² house;º his handsº shall also finishºª it; and thou shalt knowºª that² the LORDº of hostsº hath sentºª me unto² you. 10 For² who² hath despisedºª the dayº of small things?º for they shall rejoice,ºª and shall seeºª² the plummetºº in the handº of Zerubbabelº [with] those² seven;º they² [are] the eyesº of the LORD,º which run to and froºª through the whole² earth.º
