Then he said to [a]me, “This is the word of the Lord to (A)Zerubbabel, saying, ‘(B)Not by might nor by power, but by My (C)Spirit,’ says the Lord of armies. ‘What are you, you great (D)mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring out the top stone with (E)shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “The hands of Zerubbabel have (F)laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will (G)finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent me to [b]you. 10 For who has shown contempt for the day of (H)small things? [c]But these (I)seven will rejoice when they see the [d](J)plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—they are the (K)eyes of the Lord (L)roaming throughout the earth.”

  1. Zechariah 4:10 Or the plumb line

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.

10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
