4 Then I asked the angel, “Sir, what do these chariots mean?”
5 He answered, “These are the four winds; they have just come from the presence of the Lord of all the earth.”
6 The chariot pulled by the black horses was going north to Babylonia, the white horses were going to the west, and the dappled horses were going to the country in the south.
7 As the dappled horses came out, they were impatient to go and inspect the earth. The angel said, “Go and inspect the earth!” — and they did.
8 Then the angel cried out to me, “The horses that went north to Babylonia have calmed down the Lord's anger.”
9 The Lord gave me this message.
10 He said, “Take the gifts given by the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and go at once to the home of Josiah son of Zephaniah. All these men have returned from exile in Babylonia.
