Zechariah 4:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me answered me, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ I said, ‘No, my lord.’ ⁶ He said to me, ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts. ⁷ What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring out the top stone amid shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’
