Zechariah 6

1And again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled strong horses. 4Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6The chariot with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country. 7And the strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Go from here, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 8Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. 9And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying, 10Take from the exiles, even from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon; 11yes, take from them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12and speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Yehovah; 13even he shall build the temple of Yehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Yehovah. 15And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yehovah; and you shall know that Yehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yehovah your God.
