6:1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
6:3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
6:4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
6:5 The angel answered me, These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6:6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country.
6:7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, Go around and through the earth! So they walked back and forth through the earth.
6:8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
6:9 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
6:10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
6:11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
6:12 and speak to him, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Yahweh;
6:13 even he shall build the temple of Yahweh; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
6:14 The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
6:15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
