Zechariah 6:1–8

Zechariah’s Eighth Vision

6 ⌊I looked up again⌋,a and I saw, and look!—four chariots coming out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot there were red horses, and with the second chariot there were black horses. 3 And with the third chariot there were white horses, and with the fourth chariot there were strongb dappled horses. 4 And I answered and said to the angel that was talking to me, “What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four windsc of the heavens going out after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6 ⌊The one with⌋d the black horses is going out to the north country, and the white horses go after them,e while the dappled ones go to the south country.” 7 When the strong horses went out, they were anxious to go to patrol the earth. And hef said, “Go, patrol the earth.” And they patrolled the earth. 8 And he cried out to me and said to me, “See those going out to the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country.”
