14 The messenger speaking with me called out,“This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:I care passionately about Jerusalem and Zion.
15 And I am exceedingly angry with those carefree nations.Though I was somewhat angry, they added to the violence.”
16 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion.My house will be built in it, says the Lord of heavenly forces.Let a measuring line be stretched over Jerusalem.
17 "Call out again,The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:My cities will again overflow with prosperity.The Lord will again show compassion to Zionand will again choose Jerusalem."
18 Then I looked up and saw four horns.
19 I said to the messenger speaking with me,"What are these?"He said to me,"These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
20 Then the Lord showed me four metalworkers.
