Zechariah 4:9

Good News Translation

^10b The angel said to me, “The seven lamps are the seven eyes of the Lord, which see all over the earth.”^[a]

^11 (A)Then I asked him, “What do the two olive trees on either side of the lampstand mean? ⁹ He said, “Zerubbabel has laid the foundation of the Temple, and he will finish the building. When this happens, my people will know that it is I who sent you to them. ^10a They are disappointed because so little progress is being made. But they will see Zerubbabel continuing to build the Temple, and they will be glad.”
