8 “I saw in the night, and behold, qa man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were rred, sorrel, and white horses. 9 Then I said, ‘What are these, my lord?’ sThe angel who talked with me said to me, ‘I will show you what they are.’ 10 So qthe man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, t‘These are they whom the Lord has sent to upatrol the earth.’ 11 And they answered sthe angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, u‘We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth vremains at rest.’
Zechariah 6:1–8
1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of mbronze. 2 The first chariot had nred horses, the second oblack horses, 3 the third pwhite horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong.1 4 Then I answered and said to qthe angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, r“These are going out to the four winds of heaven,2 after spresenting themselves before tthe Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward uthe north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward vthe south country.” 7 When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and wpatrol the earth. And he said, “Go, wpatrol the earth.” wSo they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried to me, “Behold, those who go toward uthe north country have set my Spirit at rest in uthe north country.”
