- 1
- And the Angell that talked with me, came againe and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleepe:
- 2
- And said vnto mee, What seest thou?
and I said, I haue looked, and behold a candlesticke all of gold, with a bowle vpon the top of it, and his seuen lampes thereon, and seuen pipes to the seuen lampes, which were vpon the top thereof.
- 3
- And two Oliue trees by it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
- 4
- So I answered and spake to the Angell that talked with mee, saying: What are these, my Lord?
- 5
- Then the Angel that talked with me, answered and said vnto me;
Knowest thou not what these be? and I said; No, my Lord.
- 6
- Then hee answered and spake vnto mee, saying;
This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying; Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
- 7
- Who art thou, O great mountaine?
before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plaine, and he shall bring forth the head stone thereof with shoutings, crying; Grace, grace vnto it.
- 8
- Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying;
- 9
- The hands of Zerubbabel haue layed the foundation of this house: his hands shall also finish it, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you.
- 10
- For who hath despised the day of small things?
for they shall reioyce and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seuen: they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
- 11
- Then answered I, and said vnto him;
What are these two oliue trees vpon the right side of the candlesticke, and vpon the left side thereof?
- 12
- And I answered againe and said vnto him, What be these two oliue branches, which through the two golden pipes emptie the golden oyle out of themselues?
- 13
- And hee answered mee and said;
Knowest thou not what these be? and I said, No, my Lord.
- 14
- Then said he;
These are the two annointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
