Zechariah 1:18

^a“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My ^bhouse ^cshall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And ^da surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

“My cities shall again¹ spread out through prosperity;
^aThe Lord will again comfort Zion,
And ^bwill again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”

Vision of the Horns

18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four ^ahorns.

19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” So he answered me, ^a“These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen.

21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” So he said, “These are the ^ahorns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but¹ the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that ^blifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
