King James Version
And again
I lifted up my
eyes and saw
four chariots coming
out from between two mountains —
mountains of bronze
.
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
.
The first chariot had
red horses ,
the second black horses ,
In
the first chariot were
red horses ;
and
in
the second chariot
black horses ;
the third white horses ,
and the fourth dappled
horses —all
of
them
strong
.
And
in
the third chariot
white horses ;
and in
the fourth chariot
grisled
and
bay
horses.
So
I inquired
of
the angel who
was
speaking
with me, “
What are these, my lord? ”
Then
I answered
and
said
unto
the angel that
talked
with me, What are these, my lord?
And the angel told
me, “
These are the four spirits of heaven
, going
forth from their
station
before the Lord of all the earth.
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 one
with
the
black horses is
going
toward
the
land
of
the north ,
the
one
with
the white horses
toward
the
west,
and the one
with
the
dappled
horses
toward the south. ”
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
.
As
the strong
horses
went out
, they
were
eager
to go and patrol
the earth ;
and the
LORD
said, “Go
and patrol
the earth. ”
So they patrolled
the earth.
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 the
LORD
summoned
me and said
, “
Behold, those
going
to
the
land
of
the north have given
rest
to
My Spirit in the land
of
the
north. ”
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
.
The word of the LORD also
came to
me, saying,
And
the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying,
“
Take an
offering
from
the exiles—from
Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who
have
arrived
from Babylon —
and go
that
same day to
the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah .
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 ;
Take silver and gold, make an
ornate
crown
, and set it
on
the head of the
high
priest,
Joshua son of Jehozadak.
Then
take silver and gold, and
make crowns
, and set them
upon
the head of Joshua the
son of Josedech,
the
high
priest;
And you
are
to
tell
him that
this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says:
‘Here
is
a
man whose name is the Branch ,
and He will
branch
out from
His place and build the temple of the LORD .
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 :
Yes,
He will
build the temple of the LORD; He will
be
clothed
in
splendor
and will
sit on
His
throne
and rule .
And He will
be a priest on
His throne ,
and there
will
be
peaceful
counsel between the
two
. ’
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
.
The
crown
will
reside
in
the
temple
of
the LORD
as
a
memorial
to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious
son of Zephaniah.
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
.
Even
those
far away
will
come and build the temple of the LORD, and you
will
know that the LORD of Hosts has
sent Me to
you. This will
happen
if you
diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. ”
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.
