Zechariah 6 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Zec 6:1And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
Zec 6:2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Zec 6:3and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald and ash-coloured horses.
Zec 6:4And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Zec 6:5And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, and they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
Zec 6:6 As for the chariot in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
Zec 6:7And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and [fn]he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
Zec 6:8And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
Zec 6:9And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Zec 6:10Take the things of the captivity from [fn]the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
Zec 6:11And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put them upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
Zec 6:12and thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up [fn]from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
Zec 6:13And he shall receive [fn]power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between them both.
Zec 6:14And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men [fn]of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
Zec 6:15And they that are far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
