Zechariah 4:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 The Lord spoke to me again and said:
9 Zerubbabel laid the foundation for the temple, and he will complete it. Then everyone will know that you were sent by me, the Lord All-Powerful. 10 (A) Those who have made fun of this day of small beginnings will celebrate when they see Zerubbabel holding this important stone.[a]
Those seven lamps represent my eyes—the eyes of the Lord—and they see everything on this earth.
