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."'"
