Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

And the Man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are those whom Jehovah has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

Then the Angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of Hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which You have cursed these seventy years?

And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

And I said, What are these coming to do? And He spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head. But these have come to terrify them, to throw down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

So says Jehovah of Hosts: If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these who stand by.

And I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Do you know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven are the eyes of Jehovah which run to and fro through the whole earth.

And I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?

And he answered me and said, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

And he said, These are the two sons of fresh oil who stand by Jehovah of the whole earth.

And I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?

And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the heavens who go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

And he cried to me and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these who go toward the north country have caused My Spirit to rest in the north country.

to speak to the priests who belong to the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, consecrating myself, as I have done these many years?

Are not these the Words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prosperous, and her cities all around her, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited?

So says Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these Words by the mouth of the prophets, that in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts is founded, the temple is to be built.

For before these days there was no payment for man, nor was there payment for animal; and there was no peace to him from the adversary who went out or came in. For I sent every man, a man against his neighbor.

For the seed shall be blessed; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

so again I have thought in these days to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Fear not.

These are the things that you shall do. Each man speak the truth to his neighbor. Judge with truth and justice for peace in your gates.

And let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor; and love no false oath. For all these are things that I hate, says Jehovah.

And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of those who love Me.

And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and of all the beasts which shall be in these tents, like this plague.
