“This is the word of the Lord to aZerubbabel:
b‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth bthe capstone
cWith shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”
aHave laid the foundation of this1 temple;
His hands bshall also finish it.
Then cyou will know
That the dLord of hosts has sent Me to you.
For these seven rejoice to see
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
bThey are the eyes of the Lord,
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”

Zechariah 4:7
O great mountain? - The hinderances which were thrown in the way; the regal prohibition to discontinue the building of the temple.
Before Zerubbabel - a plain - The sovereign power of God shall remove them. March on, Zerubbabel; all shall be made plain and smooth before thee. I have given thee the work to do, and I will remove all hinderances out of thy way.
He shall bring forth the headstone - As he has laid the foundation stone, so shall he put on the headstone: as he has begun the building, so shall he finish it!
With shoutings - The universal acclamation of the people.
Grace, grace unto it - How beautiful is this structure! May the favor of God ever rest upon it, and be manifested in it!
