The Vision of the Four Chariots

[1] And I turned2, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four3 chariots out from between two mountains; and the4 mountains [were] mountains of brass. [2] In the first chariot [were] red5 horses; and in the second chariot black6 horses; [3] And in the third chariot white7 horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled8 and bay9 horses. [4] Then I answered and said unto10 the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord? [5] And the angel answered and said unto me, These11 [are] the four spirits12 of the heavens, which go13 forth from standing before the Lord14 of all the earth. [6] The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north15 country; and the white go forth after16 them; and the grisled go forth toward17 the south country. [7] And the bay18 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. [8] Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted19 my spirit in the north country.

The Crown and the Temple

[9] And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,20 [10] Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which21 are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son22 of Zephaniah; [11] Then take silver and gold, and make23 crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua24 the son of Josedech, the high priest; [12] And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold25 the man whose26 name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place27, and he shall build28 the temple of the Lord: [13] Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear29 the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest30 upon his throne: and the31 counsel of peace shall be between them both. [14] And the crowns shall be to Helem32, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial33 in the temple of the Lord. [15] And they34 [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord, and ye35 shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this36] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.
