Zechariah 6:1-8 - Zechariah's Eighth Vision

¹ I opened my eyes again and saw four chariots. They came out from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of copper. ² In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; ³ and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses. ⁴ Then I asked the angel: What are these, my lord?

⁵ The angel answered: These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. ⁶ The chariot with the black horses goes toward the North Country. The white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the South Country. ⁷ The strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might inspect the earth. He said: Go inspect the earth. Search back and forth through out the earth. So they inspected the earth. They searched back and forth through out the earth. ⁸ Then he cried out to me: Behold! Those who go toward the North Country have quieted my spirit [of anger] in the North Country.
