Zechariah 4:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 The Lord’s message to me also said, 9 “Zerubbabel will lay the foundations for my Temple, and he will finish building it. Then you will know that the Lord All-Powerful sent me to you people. 10 People will not be ashamed of the small beginnings, and they will be very happy when they see Zerubbabel with the plumb line,[a] measuring and checking the finished building. Now the seven sides[b] of the stone you saw represent the eyes of the Lord looking in every direction. They see everything on earth.”
