1And 1the angel that talked with me came again, and 2waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2And said unto me, 1What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold 2a candlestick all of gold, with aa bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and bseven 3pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3And 1two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, 1What are these, my lord?
5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, 1No, my lord.
6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, 1Not by amight, nor by power, but 2by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7Who art thou, 1O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth 2the headstone thereof 3with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
91The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou 2shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10For 1who hath despised the day of small things? afor they shall rejoice, and shall see the bplummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; 2they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11¶ Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these 1two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which athrough the two golden pipes bempty cthe golden oil out of themselves?
13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14Then said he, These are the two aanointed ones, that 1stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
