³ And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.

⁸ I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.

⁹ Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.

¹⁰ And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.

¹¹ And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.

¹³ And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.

¹⁴ And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.

¹ And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

⁵ Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

⁵ And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.
