Zechariah 6:1-8

New Century Version

The Vision of the Four Chariots

6 I looked up again and saw four chariots going out between two mountains, mountains of bronze. ² Red horses pulled the first chariot. Black horses pulled the second chariot. ³ White horses pulled the third chariot, and strong, spotted horses pulled the fourth chariot. ⁴ I asked the angel who was talking with me, “What are these, sir?”

⁵ He said, “These are the four spirits of heaven. They have just come from the presence of the Lord of the whole world. ⁶ The chariot pulled by the black horses will go to the land of the north. The white horses will go to the land of the west, and the spotted horses will go to the land of the south.”

⁷ When the powerful horses went out, they were eager to go through all the earth. So he said, “Go through all the earth,” and they did.

⁸ Then he called to me, “Look, the horses that went north have caused my spirit to rest in the land of the north.”
