CHAP VI.

1 ANd I turned, and lift up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were moun∣tains of brasse.

2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,

And in the third cha∣riot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

4 Then I answered, and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?

5 And the angel answe∣red and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing be∣fore the Lord of all the earth.

6 The black horses which are therein, go forth into the north-countrey, and the white go forth after them, and the grisled go forth toward the south-countrey.

7 And the bay went forth; and sought to go, that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get ye hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

8 Then cryed he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north coun∣trey have quieted my spi∣rit in the north-coun∣trey.

9 And the word of the Lord came unto me, say∣ing.

10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Ieda∣jah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Iosiah the son of Zephaniah;

11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Ioshua, the son of Iosedech the high priest.

12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Be∣hold the man whose name the BRANCH, and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord.

13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the glory, and, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobi∣jah, and to Iedajah, and to Hen the son of Zepha∣niah for a memorial in the temple of the Lord.

15 Aud they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will dili∣gently obey the voice of the Lord your God.
