New Testament

Zechariah 1:15-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

15. And I have a great anger for those nations who are at ease, for while I was angry but a little, they helped to increase evil.

16. Therefore thus says the Lord: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy, and My house will be built in it, says the Lord of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.

17. Cry out again, saying, Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Yet again My cities will overflow with goodness, and again the Lord will comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.

18. And I then lifted up my eyes, and I saw four horns.

19. And I said to the angel speaking to me, “What are these?”And he answered, “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?”And he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah after which no one could raise his head; and these four craftsmen have come to terrify and throw down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
