Zechariah 4:1-14 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹Then the angel who had been speaking with me returned and woke me, like a person who is awakened from his sleep.

²And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven [22]spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

³also two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.”

⁴Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

⁵So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

⁶Then he said to [23]me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of armies.

⁷‘What are you, you great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring out the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”

⁸Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

⁹“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of armies has sent me to [24]you.

¹⁰For who has shown contempt for the day of small things? [25]But these seven will rejoice when they see the [26]plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—they are the eyes of the LORD roaming throughout the earth.”

¹¹Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?”

¹²And I responded the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive [27]branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?”

¹³So he answered me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

¹⁴Then he said, “These are the two [28]anointed ones, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”
