Bible, King James Version
Zechariah
Zech.6
[1] 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.
[2] In the first chariot were red horses; and in the
second chariot black horses;
[3] And in the third chariot white horses; and in the
fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
[4] Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked
with me, What are these, my lord?
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[10] 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;
[11] Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set
them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
priest;
[12] 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:
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
