Zechariah 4:6

The Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees

5“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.6So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.7What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
