Zechariah 1:14-21

14Then the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me saidH559H413, “ProclaimH7121 this wordH559: This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559: ‘I am veryH1419 jealousH7065H7068 for JerusalemH3389 and ZionH6726, 15but IH589 am fiercely angryH7110H1419H7107 withH5921 the nationsH1471 that are at easeH7600. ForH834 IH589 was a littleH4592 angryH7107, but theyH1992 have added toH5826 the calamityH7451.1’

16ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘I will returnH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with mercyH7356, and there My houseH1004 will be rebuiltH1129, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, and a measuring lineH6961 will be stretched outH5186 overH5921 JerusalemH3389.’

17ProclaimH7121 furtherH5750 that this is whatH3541H559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559: ‘My citiesH5892 will againH5750 overflowH6327 with prosperityH2896; the LORDH3068 will againH5750 comfortH5162 ZionH6726 and chooseH977 JerusalemH3389.’”

18Then I looked upH5375 and sawH7200H2009 fourH702 hornsH7161. 19So I askedH559 the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me, “WhatH4100 are theseH428?”

And he toldH559 meH413, “TheseH428 are the hornsH7161 thatH834 have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389.”

20Then the LORDH3068 showed meH7200 fourH702 craftsmenH2796.

21“WhatH4100 are theseH428 comingH935 to doH6213?” I askedH559.

And He repliedH559, “TheseH428 are the hornsH7161 thatH834 scatteredH2219 JudahH3063 so thatH6310 noH3808 oneH376 could raiseH5375 his headH7218; but theH428 craftsmen have comeH935 to terrifyH2729 themH853 and throw downH3034 these hornsH7161 of the nationsH1471 that have lifted upH5375 their hornsH7161 againstH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatter itH2219.”
