[1]Andthe angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
[2]Andsaid to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick: all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which were upon the top of it.
[3]Andtwo olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side.
[4]SoI answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
[5]Thenthe angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, my lord.
[6]Thenhe answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
[7]Whoart thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth its head-stone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace, to it.
[8]Moreoverthe word of the LORD came to me, saying,
[9]Thehands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you.
[10]Forwho hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
[11]ThenI answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon its left side?
[12]AndI answered again, and said to him, What are these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
[13]Andhe answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
[14]Thensaid he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
