He will bring the head stone with shouts of blessing.’« 8The word of Jehovah continued to come to me: 9»The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands will also finish it! You should know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me to you. 10»For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven will rejoice, and will see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.« 11I said to him: »What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side of it?« 12I spoke a second time: »What are these two olive branches, that are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil from themselves?« 13He answered: »You do not know what these are?« I said, »No, my lord.« 14Then he said: »These are the two anointed ones who stand by Jehovah the God of the whole earth!«
