Zechariah 4:6-14

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Then he said to ^[a]me, “This is the word of the Lord to ^(A)Zerubbabel, saying, ‘^(B)Not by might nor by power, but by My ^(C)Spirit,’ says the Lord of armies. ⁷ ‘What are you, you great ^(D)mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring out the top stone with ^(E)shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

⁸ Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ⁹ “The hands of Zerubbabel have ^(F)laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will ^(G)finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent me to ^[b]you. ¹⁰ For who has shown contempt for the day of ^(H)small things? ^[c]But these ^(I)seven will rejoice when they see the ^[d](J)plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—they are the ^(K)eyes of the Lord ^(L)roaming throughout the earth.”

¹¹ Then I said to him, “What are these ^(M)two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?” ¹² And I responded the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive ^[e]branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?” ¹³ So he answered me, saying, “^(N)Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, ^(O)my lord.” ¹⁴ Then he said, “These are the two ^[f](P)anointed ones, who are ^(Q)standing by the ^(R)Lord of the whole earth.”
