Zechariah 6

And I turned and I lifted my eyes and I saw, and behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains. And the mountains {were} mountains of bronze.

In the first chariot {were} red horses, and in the second chariot {were} black horses,

and in the third chariot {were} white horses, and in the fourth chariot {were} spotted, strong horses.

And I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?” \*

And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of the heavens going out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

The {chariot} in which {are} the black horses is going out to the land of the north, and the white ones went out after them, and the spotted ones went out to the land of the south.” \*

And the strong ones went out and sought to go to walk about in the earth. And he said, “Go, walk about in the earth.” And they walked about in the earth.

And he called out to me and spoke to me, saying, “See, the ones going out to the land of the north have caused my spirit to rest in the land of the north.” \*

And the word of God came to me, saying,

“Take from the exiles—from Heldai, and from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah—and you, you shall come on that day, and you shall come to the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon.

And you shall take silver and gold, and you shall make crowns, and you shall set {them} on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. \*

And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says God of Armies, saying, Behold, a man—Branch is his name—and from his place he will sprout, and he will build the temple of God.

And he, he will build the temple of God, and he, he will bear glory, and he will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.’ \*

And the crowns will be for Helem and for Tobijah and for Jedaiah and for Hen, the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of God.

And those far off will come and build in the temple of God, and you will know that God of Armies has sent me to you. And {this} will happen if listening, you will listen to the voice of God your God.”
