Zechariah 1:14-21

14So the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me saidH559 to me, “1ProclaimH7121, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “I am 2exceedinglyH1419 jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and ZionH6726. 15But I am veryH1419H7110 3angryH7107 with the nationsH1471 who are 4at easeH7600; for while I was only a littleH4592 angryH7107, they 56furtheredH5826 the disasterH7463.” 16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “I will 7returnH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with compassionH7356; My 8houseH1004 will be builtH1129 in it,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “and a measuringH6957 9lineH6957 will be stretchedH5186 overH5921 JerusalemH3389.”’ 17AgainH5750, proclaimH7121, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “My 10citiesH5892 will againH5750 overflowH6327 with prosperityH2896, and the LordH3068 will againH5750 11comfortH5162 ZionH6726 and againH5750 12chooseH977 JerusalemH3389.”’”

1813Then I liftedH5375 up my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, there were fourH702 hornsH7161. 19So I saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me, “WhatH4100 are theseH428?” And he answeredH559 me, “TheseH428 are the 14hornsH7161 whichH834 have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478 and JerusalemH3389.” 20Then the LordH3068 showedH7200 me fourH702 15craftsmenH2796. 21I saidH559, “WhatH4100 are theseH428 comingH935 to doH6213?” And he saidH559, “TheseH428 are the 16hornsH7161 whichH834 have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063 soH6310 that noH3808 manH376 liftsH5375 up his headH7218; but theseH428 craftsmen have comeH935 to terrifyH2729 them, to 17throwH3034 downH3034 the hornsH7161 of the nationsH1471 who have liftedH5375 up their hornsH7161 againstH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063 in order to scatterH2219 it.”
