Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two bronze mountains.
2
The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses,
3
the third by white horses, and the fourth by powerful dappled-gray horses.
4
“And what are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was talking with me.
5
The angel replied, “These are the four spirits 1 of heaven who stand before the Lord of all the earth. They are going out to do his work.
6
The chariot with black horses is going north, the chariot with white horses is going west, 2 and the chariot with dappled-gray horses is going south.”
7
The powerful horses were eager to set out to patrol the earth. And the Lord said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left at once on their patrol.
8
Then the Lord summoned me and said, “Look, those who went north have vented the anger of my Spirit 3 there in the land of the north.”
