^{1 Ref} And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep,

^{2 Ref} and he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and its bowl `is' on its top, and its seven lamps `are' upon it, and twice seven pipes `are' to the lights that `are' on its top,

^{3 Ref} and two olive-trees `are' by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

^{4 Ref} And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, `What `are' these, my lord?'

^{5 Ref} And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, `Hast thou not known what these `are'?' And I say, `No, my lord.'

^{6 Ref} And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: `This `is' a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But -- by My Spirit, said Jehovah of Hosts.

^{7 Ref} Who `art' thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel -- for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace -- `are' to it.'

⁸ And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying,

^{9 Ref} Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent me unto you.

^{10 Ref} For who trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven `are' the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'

^{11 Ref} And I answer and say unto him, `What `are' these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?'

^{12 Ref} And I answer a second time, and say unto him, `What `are' the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?'

^{13 Ref} And he speaketh unto me, saying, `Hast thou not known what these `are'?' And I say, `No, my lord.'

^{14 Ref} And he saith, `These `are' the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'
