1 The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 He 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; 3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

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

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

I said, "No, my lord."

6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies. 7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’"

8 Moreover Yahweh’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 Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. 10 Indeed, 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 Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth."

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

12 I 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?"

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

I said, "No, my lord."

14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

1 And the angel that talked with me came again and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

2 and said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon the candlestick, and seven pipes for the lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:

3 and two olive trees over it, one upon the right hand [side] of the bowl and the other upon the left hand [side] thereof.

4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [is] this, my lord?

5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Dost thou not know what this is? And I said, No, my lord.

6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This [is the] word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, said the LORD of the hosts.

7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? [Thou shalt be reduced to] a plain; and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.

8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

9 The hands of Zerubbabel shall lay the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you.

10 For who has despised the day of small [beginnings]? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. Those seven [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

11 Then I spoke and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right hand [side] of the candlestick and upon the left hand [side] thereof?

12 And I spoke the second time and said unto him, What [are these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

13 And he answered me and said, Dost thou not know what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Then he said, These two sons of oil [are] those that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.:
