Zechariah 4:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ ·The angel [^LHe] said, “Don’t you know what they are?”

“No, sir,” I said.

⁶ Then he told me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘·You will not succeed by your own strength or by your own power [^TNot by might, nor by power], but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts].

⁷ “Who are you, ·big [mighty; great] mountain? ·In front of [Compared with] Zerubbabel you will become ·flat land [a level plain], and he will bring out the ·topmost stone [capstone], ·shouting [or amid shouting], ‘·It’s beautiful! It’s beautiful [or Blessings, Blessings upon it; ^LGrace, Grace to it]!’”
