Zechariah 6:1-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Lord’s Victory Throughout the Earth

6 I looked up again and saw four chariots going out from between the two mountains. They were mountains of bronze. ² The first chariot had red horses. The second had black horses. ³ The third had white horses. And the fourth had strong, spotted horses. ⁴ I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What do these horses mean, sir?”

⁵ The angel answered, “They are the four spirits of heaven. They are going out after standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. ⁶ The chariot with the black horses is going toward the north, and the white horses are following them. The spotted ones are going toward the south.”

⁷ When these strong horses went out, they were eager to patrol the earth.

He said, “Go, patrol the earth!” And they patrolled the earth.

⁸ Then he called out to me, “Look! Those who went to the north have made my Spirit rest in the north.”
