Zechariah
4:8-10
Beware
of Despising the Day of Small Things
Zec 4:8 Moreover the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying,
Zec 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have
laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou
shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
Zec 4:10 For who hath despised the
day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the
hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run
to and fro through the whole earth.
