Zechariah 1:9

Then I asked one nearby, “What are these, sir?” The angelic messenger ¹  who replied to me said, “I will show you what these are.”

I asked, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who was talking with me answered, "I will show you what they are."

Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."

I asked the angel who was talking with me, "My lord, what are all those horses for?" "I will show you," the angel replied.

I said, "Sir, what are these horses doing here? What's the meaning of this?" The Angel-Messenger said, "Let me show you."

Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.

Then I said, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what they are."

Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" So the angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what they are ."

Then I asked one nearby, “What are these, sir?” The angelic messenger ¹  who replied to me said, “I will show you what these are.”
