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] in which 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 who 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 will grow up out of his place; and he will build the temple of Yahweh;
13 even he will build the temple of Yahweh; and he will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne; and he will be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 And the crowns will 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 who are far off will come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you{+} will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you{+}. And [this] will come to pass, if you{+} will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your{+} God.
