Zechariah 4:2-7 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

2. “What do you see?” he asked.“A lampstand made of gold,” I answered. “At the top is a bowl for the oil. On the lampstand are seven lamps, each one with places for seven wicks.

3. There are two olive trees beside the lampstand, one on each side of it.”

4. Then I asked the angel, “What do these things stand for, sir?”

5. “Don't you know?” he asked me.“No, I don't, sir,” I replied.

6. The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the Lord: “You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit.

7. Obstacles as great as mountains will disappear before you. You will rebuild the Temple, and as you put the last stone in place, the people will shout, ‘Beautiful, beautiful!’ ”
