Zechariah 6:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The messenger answered and said to me,
    “These are the four winds of heaven that are going out
        after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth.
⁶ The one with the black horses is going to the north country;
        the white ones are going to the west;^[a]
        and the spotted ones are going south.”
⁷ Then the powerful ones approached, intent on going to patrol the earth.
He said, “Go! Patrol the earth!”
    So they patrolled the earth.
