He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were (E)red, sorrel, and white horses. 9 Then I said, ‘What are these, my lord?’ (F)The angel who talked with me said to me, ‘I will show you what they are.’ 10 So (G)the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, (H)‘These are they whom the Lord has sent to (I)patrol the earth.’ 11 And they answered (J)the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, (K)‘We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth (L)remains at rest.’
