¹ And I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and those mountains [were] of brass.

² In the first chariot [were] red horses and in the second chariot black horses;

³ in the third chariot white horses and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

⁴ Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [is] this, my lord?

⁵ And 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.

⁶ The one with the black horses went forth towards the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grisled went forth toward the south country.

⁷ And the bay went forth 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.

⁸ Then he called me and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, those that went toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

⁹ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁰ Take of [those of that returned from] the captivity, [of the lineage] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whom are come from Babylon.

¹¹ Thou shalt take silver and gold and make crowns and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,

¹² and speak unto him, saying, Thus spoke the LORD of the 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.

¹³ 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 Helem and Tobijah and Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah shall have crowns for [a] memorial in the temple of the LORD.

¹⁵ And those [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass if ye will obediently hear the voice of the LORD our God.:
