Four Chariots
6 Then I lifted up my eyes again and saw, and behold, (A)four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains. 2 With the first chariot were (B)red horses, with the second chariot (C)black horses, 3 with the third chariot (D)white horses, and with the fourth chariot (E)dappled horses—all of them mighty. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “(F)What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the (G)four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth, 6 with one of which the black horses are going forth to the (H)north country; and the white ones go forth after them, and the dappled ones go forth to the (I)south country. 7 Now the mighty ones went out, and they sought to go to [a](J)patrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, [b]patrol the earth.” So they [c]patrolled the earth. 8 Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have (K)caused My Spirit to have rest in the land of the north.”

Common English Bible
Eighth night vision
6 I looked up again
and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains;
the mountains were made of bronze.
2 The first chariot had red horses,
and the second chariot had black horses.
3 The third chariot had white horses,
and the fourth chariot had horses that were heavily spotted.
4 I responded and said to the messenger speaking with me,
“What are these, sir?”
5 The messenger answered and said to me,
“These are the four winds of heaven that are going out
after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth.
6 The one with the black horses is going to the north country;
the white ones are going to the west;[a]
and the spotted ones are going south.”
7 Then the powerful ones approached, intent on going to patrol the earth.
He said, “Go! Patrol the earth!”
So they patrolled the earth.
8 Then he called out and said to me,
“Look, the ones going north have provided rest for my spirit in the north.”
