1. Again I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2. The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses,
3. the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot strong, dappled horses.
4. I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5. The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of heaven, going out after presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
6. The chariot with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the white ones have gone out after them, and the dappled ones have gone out toward the land of the south.”
7. When the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth. He said, “Go, patrol the earth!” So they patrolled the earth.
8. Then he called out to me, “Look, those going toward the land of the north have given my spirit rest in the land of the north.”
9. The word of Yahweh came to me:
10. Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11. Take silver and gold, make crowns, and set them on the head of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12. Say to him, “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: Here is a man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from where he is and build the temple of Yahweh.
13. It is he who will build the temple of Yahweh, and he will be clothed with majesty, and he will sit and rule on his throne. There will be a priest on his throne, and there will be a counsel of peace between the two of them.”
14. The crowns will be a memorial in the temple of Yahweh for Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah.
15. People who are far away will come and help build the temple of Yahweh, and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen if you carefully obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
