Zechariah 4:8-9
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]
8 Another message came to me from the Lord. 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.”
