Zechariah 1:7-11

⁷On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, that is, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, as follows: ⁸I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel, and white horses behind him. ⁹Then I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” ¹⁰And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees responded and said, “These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.” ¹¹So they responded to the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is still and quiet.”
