Zechariah 6:1-8
New Living Translation
Four Chariots
6 Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two bronze mountains. 2 The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses, 3 the third by white horses, and the fourth by powerful dappled-gray horses. 4 “And what are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was talking with me.
5 The angel replied, “These are the four spirits[a] of heaven who stand before the Lord of all the earth. They are going out to do his work. 6 The chariot with black horses is going north, the chariot with white horses is going west,[b] and the chariot with dappled-gray horses is going south.”
7 The powerful horses were eager to set out to patrol the earth. And the Lord said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left at once on their patrol.
8 Then the Lord summoned me and said, “Look, those who went north have vented the anger of my Spirit[c] there in the land of the north.”

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.”
