What is now become of your forefathers and the prophets? Are they yet still alive?

Then said I, 'O my lord, what are these?' And the angel that talked with me, said unto me, 'I will show thee what these be.'

And I said unto the angel, that talketh with me, 'What be these?' He answered me, 'These are the horses, which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem abroad.'

Then said I, 'What will these do?' He answered, and said, 'Those are the horns, which have so strawed Judah abroad, that no man durst lift up his head: But these are come to fray them away, and to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lift up their horn over the land of Judah, to scatter it abroad.'

and said unto me, 'What seest thou?' And I said, 'I have looked, and behold: a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon it, and his seven lamps therein, and upon every lamp seven stalks.

So I answered, and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, 'O my lord what are these?'

The angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, 'Knowest thou not what these be?' And I said, 'No, my lord.'

What art thou, thou great mountain, before Zerubbabel? Thou must be made even. And he shall bring up the first stone so that men shall cry unto him, 'Good luck, good luck!''

"Then answered I, and said unto him, 'What are these two olive trees upon the right and left side of the candlestick?'

I spake moreover, and said unto him, 'What be these two olive branches which, through the two golden pipes, empty themselves into the gold?'

He answered me, and said, 'Knowest thou not, what these be?' And I said, 'No, my lord.'

And he said unto me, 'What seest thou?' I answered, 'I see a flying book of twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad.'

Then the angel that talked with me, went forth, and said unto me, 'Lift up thine eyes and see what this is that goeth forth.'

And I said, 'What is it?' He answered, 'This is a measure going out.' He said moreover, 'Even thus are they that dwell upon the whole earth to look upon.'

Then spake I and said unto the angel that talked with me, 'O lord, what are these?'

What time as Sharezer and Regemmelech and the men that were with them, sent unto Bethel for to pray before the LORD:

For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Like as I devised to punish you, what time as your fathers provoked me unto wrath, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, and spared not.

And look: what generation upon earth goeth not up to Jerusalem for to worship the King, even the LORD of Hosts: upon the same shall come no rain.
