Zechariah 6:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds[a] of the heavens going out after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The one with[b] the black horses is going out to the north country, and the white horses go after them,[c] while the dappled ones go to the south country.” 7 When the strong horses went out, they were anxious to go to patrol the earth. And he[d] said, “Go, patrol the earth.” And they patrolled the earth.
