1 And I turned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} mine eyes{H5869}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, there came{H3318} four{H702} chariots{H4818} out{H3318}{(H8802)} from between two{H8147} mountains{H2022}; and the mountains{H2022} were mountains{H2022} of brass{H5178}.

2 In the first{H7223} chariot{H4818} were red{H122} horses{H5483}; and in the second{H8145} chariot{H4818} black{H7838} horses{H5483};

3 And in the third{H7992} chariot{H4818} white{H3836} horses{H5483}; and in the fourth{H7243} chariot{H4818} grisled{H1261} and bay{H554} horses{H5483}.

4 Then I answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the angel{H4397} that talked{H1696}{(H8802)} with me, What are these, my lord{H113}?

5 And the angel{H4397} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, These are the four{H702} spirits{H7307} of the heavens{H8064}, which go forth{H3318}{(H8802)} from standing{H3320}{(H8692)} before the Lord{H113} of all the earth{H776}.

6 The black{H7838} horses{H5483} which are therein go forth{H3318}{(H8802)} into the north{H6828} country{H776}; and the white{H3836} go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} after{H310} them; and the grisled{H1261} go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} toward the south{H8486} country{H776}.

7 And the bay{H554} went forth{H3318}{(H8804)}, and sought{H1245}{(H8762)} to go{H3212}{(H8800)} that they might walk to and fro{H1980}{(H8692)} through the earth{H776}: and he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Get you hence{H3212}{(H8798)}, walk to and fro{H1980}{(H8690)} through the earth{H776}. So they walked to and fro{H1980}{(H8691)} through the earth{H776}.

8 Then cried{H2199}{(H8686)} he upon{H853} me, and spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto me, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold{H7200}{(H8798)}, these that go{H3318}{(H8802)} toward the north{H6828} country{H776} have quieted{H5117}{(H8689)} my spirit{H7307} in the north{H6828} country{H776}.

9 And the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto me, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

10 Take{H3947}{(H8800)} of them of the captivity{H1473}, even of Heldai{H2469}, of Tobijah{H2900}, and of Jedaiah{H3048}, which are come{H935}{(H8804)} from Babylon{H894}, and come{H935}{(H8804)} thou the same day{H3117}, and go{H935}{(H8804)} into the house{H1004} of Josiah{H2977} the son{H1121} of Zephaniah{H6846};

11 Then take{H3947}{(H8804)} silver{H3701} and gold{H2091}, and make{H6213}{(H8804)} crowns{H5850}, and set{H7760}{(H8804)} them upon the head{H7218} of Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Josedech{H3087}, the high{H1419} priest{H3548};

12 And speak{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thus speaketh{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold the man{H376} whose name{H8034} is The BRANCH{H6780}; and he shall grow up{H6779}{(H8799)} out of his place, and he shall build{H1129}{(H8804)} the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}:

13 Even he shall build{H1129}{(H8799)} the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}; and he shall bear{H5375}{(H8799)} the glory{H1935}, and shall sit{H3427}{(H8804)} and rule{H4910}{(H8804)} upon his throne{H3678}; and he shall be a priest{H3548} upon his throne{H3678}: and the counsel{H6098} of peace{H7965} shall be between them both{H8147}.

14 And the crowns{H5850} shall be to Helem{H2494}, and to Tobijah{H2900}, and to Jedaiah{H3048}, and to Hen{H2581} the son{H1121} of Zephaniah{H6846}, for a memorial{H2146} in the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}.

15 And they that are far off{H7350} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} and build{H1129}{(H8804)} in the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}, and ye shall know{H3045}{(H8804)} that the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently{H8085}{(H8800)} obey{H8085}{(H8799)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}.
