Zechariah 4:12 in context

The verses around it, from Zechariah 4.

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.

10 For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

11 Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

12 And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”

13 “Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.

14 So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
