1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
3 And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
4 And I answered, and said to the an- gel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
5 And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
7 And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth : and they walked throughout the earth.
8 And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying :
10 Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
11 And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
12 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
13 Yea, he shall build a temple to the Lord: and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit, and rule upon his throne: and he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15 And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.

Chapter 6 of Zechariah describes a vision of the prophet in which four cars are presented, representing the presence of God throughout the earth. Then Zechariah receives the order of crowning Joshua, the high priest, with a silver crown, symbolizing the arrival of the Messiah who will come as a priest and king. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Zechariah 6:
Psalm 72:17: "Your name is blessed forever; as long as the sun lasts, your name remains; all peoples are blessed in him; all nations call him happy." This verse talks about the blessing that Messiah will bring to all nations of the earth, something that Zechariah also highlights in his vision.
Jeremiah 33:15: "In the days of those, and at that time I will make David a renewal of justice, and he will do judgment and righteousness on earth." Joshua's coronation in Zechariah 6 is an anticipation of the arrival of the Messiah, as described by Jeremiah.
Psalm 110:4: "The Lord has sworn, and will not repent: You are priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." This verse refers to the priesthood of the Messiah, which will be both priest and king, and is symbolized in Zechariah's view by Joshua's coronation.
Zechariah 3:8: "He hears Joshua, high priest, you and your companions who sit before you; for they are portentous men; behold, I will make my servant come, the branch." This verse is a direct reference to Joshua's coronation in Zechariah 6 and anticipates the arrival of the Messiah as the "branch."
Hebrews 7:17: "For he testifies him: You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." Like Psalm 110:4, this verse highlights the duality of the Messiah as a priest and king, in line with the vision of Zechariah.
