Zechariah 4:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 People will not be ashamed of the small beginnings, and they will be very happy when they see Zerubbabel with the plumb line,[a] measuring and checking the finished building. Now the seven sides[b] of the stone you saw represent the eyes of the Lord looking in every direction. They see everything on earth.”
11 Then I said to him, “I saw one olive tree on the right side of the lampstand and one on the left side. What do those two olive trees mean?” 12 I also said to him, “I saw two olive branches by the gold tubes with gold colored oil flowing from them. What do these things mean?”
