Zechariah 4:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ I asked the angel who talked with me, “Sir, what are these?”

⁵ The angel said, “Don’t you know what they are?”

“No, sir,” I said.

⁶ Then he told me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘You will not succeed by your own strength or by your own power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord All-Powerful.
