¹The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me , as a man who is wakened out of his sleep .

²He said to me , “What do you see ?”

I said, “I have seen , and behold , a lamp stand all of gold , with its bowl on the top of it , and its seven lamps on it ; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it ;

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

⁴I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me , saying , “What are these , my lord?”

⁵Then the angel who talked with me answered me , “Don’t you know what these are ?”

I said , “No , my lord.”

⁶Then he answered and spoke to me , saying , “This is the LORD ’s word to Zerubbabel , saying , ‘Not by might , nor by power , but by my Spirit ,’ says the LORD of Armies .

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

⁸Moreover the LORD ’s word came to me , saying ,

⁹“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house . His hands shall also finish it ; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you .

¹⁰Indeed , who despises the day of small things ? For these seven shall rejoice , and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel . These are the LORD ’s eyes , which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

¹¹Then I asked him , “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it ?”

¹²I asked him the second time , “What are these two olive branches , which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves ?”

¹³He answered me , “Don’t you know what these are ?”

I said, “No , my lord.”

¹⁴Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”[#4:14 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”]
