Zechariah 1:8-11

Christian Standard Bible

First Vision: Horsemen

⁸ I looked out in the night and saw a man riding on a chestnut^[a] horse.^(A) He was standing among the myrtle trees in the valley.^[b] Behind him were chestnut, brown, and white horses. ⁹ I asked, “What are these, my lord?”

The angel who was talking to me replied, “I will show you what they are.”

¹⁰ Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.”

¹¹ They reported to the angel of the Lord standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and right now the whole earth is calm and quiet.”^(B)
