Zechariah 4:1-14
4 The angel who had been speaking with me came back and woke me up, as when waking someone from sleep.
2 Then he said to me: “What do you see?”
So I said: “I see, and look! a lampstand entirely of gold,+ with a bowl on top of it. There are seven lamps on it,+ yes, seven, and the lamps, which are at the top of it, have seven pipes.
3 And next to it are two olive trees,+ one on the right of the bowl and one on the left.”
4 Then I asked the angel who was speaking with me: “What do these things mean, my lord?”
5 So the angel who was speaking with me asked: “Do you not know what these things mean?”
I replied: “No, my lord.”
6 He then said to me: “This is the word of Jehovah to Ze·rubʹba·bel: ‘“Not by a military force, nor by power,+ but by my spirit,”+ says Jehovah of armies.
7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Ze·rubʹba·bel+ you will become a level land.*+ And he will bring out the top stone* amid shouts of: “How wonderful! How wonderful!”’”
8 The word of Jehovah again came to me, saying:
9 “The hands of Ze·rubʹba·bel have laid the foundation of this house,+ and his own hands will finish it.+ And you will have to know that Jehovah of armies has sent me to you.
10 For who has despised the day of small beginnings?*+ For they will rejoice and see the plumb line* in the hand of Ze·rubʹba·bel. These seven are the eyes of Jehovah, which are roving about in all the earth.”+
11 Then I asked him: “What is the meaning of these two olive trees on the right and on the left of the lampstand?”+
12 I asked him a second time: “What is the meaning of the two bunches of twigs* of the olive trees that are pouring out the golden liquid through the two golden tubes?”
13 So he asked me: “Do you not know what these things mean?”
I replied: “No, my lord.”
14 He said: “These are the two anointed ones who are standing alongside the Lord of the whole earth.”+
