Zechariah’s Eighth Vision

6 I looked up again,^[a] and I saw, and look!—four chariots coming out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. ² With the first chariot there were red horses, and with the second chariot there were black horses. ³ And with the third chariot there were white horses, and with the fourth chariot there were strong^[b] dappled horses. ⁴ And I answered and said to the angel that was talking to me, “What are these, my lord?” ⁵ And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds^[c] of the heavens going out after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. ⁶ The one with^[d] the black horses is going out to the north country, and the white horses go after them,^[e] while the dappled ones go to the south country.” ⁷ When the strong horses went out, they were anxious to go to patrol the earth. And he^[f] said, “Go, patrol the earth.” And they patrolled the earth. ⁸ And he cried out to me and said to me, “See those going out to the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country.”
