6:1  And again I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
6:2  The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses,
6:3  the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled grey horses.
6:4  Then I said to the angel who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’
6:5  The angel answered me, ‘These are the four winds of heaven going out, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.
6:6  The chariot with the black horses goes towards the north country, the white ones go towards the west country, and the dappled ones go towards the south country.’
6:7  When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, ‘Go, patrol the earth.’ So they patrolled the earth.
6:8  Then he cried out to me, ‘Lo, those who go towards the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country.’
6:9  The word of the Lord came to me:
6:10  Collect silver and gold from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—who have arrived from Babylon; and go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
6:11  Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak;
6:12  say to him: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Here is a man whose name is Branch: for he shall branch out in his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord.
6:13  It is he that shall build the temple of the Lord; he shall bear royal honour, and shall sit and rule on his throne. There shall be a priest by his throne, with peaceful understanding between the two of them.
6:14  And the crown shall be in the care of Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
6:15  Those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord; and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.
