Zechariah 4:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Then he asked, “Don't you know?”

“No sir,” I replied.

^6 (A) So the angel explained that it was the following message of the Lord to Zerubbabel:^[a]

I am the Lord All-Powerful. So don't depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit. ⁷ Zerubbabel, that mountain in front of you will be leveled to the ground. Then you will bring out the temple's most important stone and shout, “God has been very kind.”^[b]
