Zechariah 6:1-8

1 And again I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses,
3 the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray horses.
4 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of heaven going out, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go toward the west country, and the dappled ones go toward the south country."
7 When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth.
8 Then he cried out to me, "Lo, those who go toward the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country."
