Zechariah 4:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Then the Angel that talked with me, answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto [a]Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by [b]an army nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O [c]great mountain, before Zerubbabel? thou shall be a plain, and [d]he shall bring forth the headstone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
