Zechariah 1:10-20

10 And the man standing between the myrtle shrubs answered and said, "These [are] those whom Yahweh has sent to patrol[a] [the] earth."
11 And they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle shrubs, and they said, "We have patrolled[b] the earth, and look, all the earth {is dwelling in peace}."[c]
12 The angel of Yahweh answered and said, "O Yahweh of hosts, {how long}[d] will you have no compassion on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, [with] which you showed fury these seventy years?"[e]
13 [With] gracious[f] and comforting words Yahweh answered the angel who was talking with me.

15 And {I am extremely angry}[h] with the nations that are at ease, for [while] I was a little angry, they {furthered disaster}."[i]
16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: "I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion. My temple[j] will be built in it," {declares}[k] Yahweh of hosts, "and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem." '
17 Proclaim again, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts: "My cities shall again overflow from prosperity, and Yahweh will comfort Zion again, and he will choose Jerusalem again." '"

19 And I said to the angel [who was] talking with me, "What [are] these?" And he said to me, "These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
20 Then Yahweh showed me four skilled craftsmen,
