5The angel replied, “These are the four spirits6:5 Or the four winds. of heaven who stand before the Lord of all the earth. They are going out to do his work.

6The chariot with black horses is going north, the chariot with white horses is going west,6:6 Hebrew is going after them. and the chariot with dappled-gray horses is going south.”

7The powerful horses were eager to set out to patrol the earth. And the Lord said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left at once on their patrol.

8Then the Lord summoned me and said, “Look, those who went north have vented the anger of my Spirit6:8 Hebrew have given my Spirit rest. there in the land of the north.”

14“The crown will be a memorial in the Temple of the Lord to honor those who gave it—Heldai,6:14a As in Syriac version (compare 6:10); Hebrew reads Helem. Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah6:14b As in Syriac version (compare 6:10); Hebrew reads Hen. son of Zephaniah.”

15People will come from distant lands to rebuild the Temple of the Lord. And when this happens, you will know that my messages have been from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. All this will happen if you carefully obey what the Lord your God says.
