Zechariah 6:1-8

Living Bible

6 Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between what looked like two mountains made of brass. ² The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black ones, ³ the third by white horses and the fourth by dappled-grays.

⁴ “And what are these, sir?” I asked the angel.

⁵ He replied, “These are the four heavenly spirits who stand before the Lord of all the earth; they are going out to do his work. ⁶ The chariot pulled by the black horses will go north, and the one pulled by white horses will follow it there,^[a] while the dappled-grays will go south.”

⁷ The red^[b] horses were impatient to be off, to patrol back and forth across the earth, so the Lord said, “Go. Begin your patrol.” So they left at once.

⁸ Then the Lord summoned me and said, “Those who went north have executed my judgment^[c] and quieted my anger there.”
