¹ And again I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and saw four chariots come out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.² In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;³ and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.⁴ Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?⁵ And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.⁶ [The chariot] wherein are the black horses goes forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.⁷ And the strong 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 cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Look, those that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

⁹ And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,¹⁰ Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and you come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon;¹¹ yes, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;¹² and speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying, Look, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Yahweh;¹³ even he shall build the temple of Yahweh; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.¹⁴ And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and for the kindness of the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.¹⁵ And those that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you shall know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. And [this] shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
