Zechariah 4:1-7

English Standard Version

A Vision of a Golden Lampstand

4 And ^(A)the angel who talked with me came again ^(B)and woke me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep. ² And he said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, ^(C)a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and ^(D)seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it. ³ And there are ^(E)two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.” ⁴ And I said to ^(F)the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” ⁵ Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, ^(G)“Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” ⁶ Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to ^(H)Zerubbabel: ^(I)Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. ⁷ Who are you, ^(J)O great mountain? Before ^(K)Zerubbabel ^(L)you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward ^(M)the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
