1And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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 grizzled and bay horses.
4Then I answered and said unto the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5And the angel answered and said unto me, "These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them, and the grizzled go forth toward the south country.
7And the bay went forth and sought to go, that they might walk to and fro through the earth." And he said, "Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth." So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8Then cried he unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, "Behold, these who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
9And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
10"Take from them of the captivity -- even from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon -- and come thou the same day and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11Then take silver and gold and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest,
12and speak unto him, saying, `Thus speaketh the LORD 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 the LORD.
13Even He shall build the temple of the LORD; 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."'
14"And the crowns shall be for Helem and for Tobijah and for Jedaiah, and for Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
15And those who are far off shall come and build the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent Me unto you. And this shall come to pass if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God."
