CHAPTER 6 Vision of the Four Chariots and Horses

1 And I turned, and lifted my eyes; and I beheld, and behold, four chariots going forth from out of the midst of two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 With the [²chariot ¹first ⁴horses ³reddish]; and with the [²chariot ¹second ⁴horses ³black]; 3 and with the [²chariot ¹third ⁴horses ³white]; and with the [²chariot ¹fourth ⁴horses ³spotted] and dapple-gray. 4 And I answered and said to the angel, the one speaking with me, What are these, O lord? 5 And [³answered ¹the ²angel], the one speaking with me. And he said, These are the four winds of the heaven, and they go forth to stand beside the Lord of all the earth, 6 with which were [³horses ¹the ²black] -- they went forth upon the land of the north; and the white -- they went forth after them; and the spotted -- they went forth upon the land of the south, 7 and dapple-gray -- they went forth, and they looked to travel about the earth. And he said, Go and travel about the earth! And they traveled about the earth. 8 And he yelled out and spoke to me, saying Behold, the ones going forth upon the land of the north caused rest for my rage in the land of the north. 9 And came to pass the word of the lord to me, saying, 10 Take the ones of the captivity from the rulers, and from its profitable ones, and from the ones recognizing it! And you shall enter in that day, into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, the one having come from out of Babylon.

A Crown for Joshua the Priest

11 And you shall take silver and gold, and you shall make crowns, and you shall place upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech the [²priest ¹great]. 12 And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord almighty, Behold, a male, Rising is his name; and from beneath him he shall rise and shall build the house of the lord. 13 And he shall receive virtue, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest at his right. And [²counsel ¹peaceable] will be between both. 14 But the crown will be to the ones waiting, and to the ones profitable of her, and to the ones recognizing her, and for the favor of the son of Zephaniah, and for a psalm in the house of the lord. 15 And the ones far from them shall come, and they shall build in the house of the lord. And you shall know that the lord almighty has sent me to you; and it will be as if ones listening should have listened to the voice of the lord your God.
