| # Chapter 6
#### 1 | Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
#### 2 | In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
#### 3 | and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.
#### 4 | Then I answered the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
#### 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 | [The chariot] in which are the black horses goes forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
#### 7 | The strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk back and forth through the earth. So they walked back and forth through the earth.
#### 8 | Then cried he to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
#### 9 | The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
#### 10 | Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they are come from Babylon;
#### 11 | yes, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
#### 12 | and speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yahweh of Hosts, saying, 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;
#### 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.
#### 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.
#### 15 | Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you shall know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. [This] shall happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
