Zechariah 4:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Then the angel who spoke with me returned and aroused me, like one awakened from sleep.

2. He said to me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on top of it. There are seven lamps on it, with seven spouts on each of the lamps that are on top of it.

3. And beside it are two olive trees, one on the right of the bowl and one to its left.”

4. Then I said to the angel who spoke with me, “What are these things, my lord?”

5. And the angel who spoke with me replied, “Do you not know what these things are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
