Zechariah 1:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹ I asked the angel who talked with me, ‘What are these?’ And he answered me, ‘These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.’ ²⁰ Then the Lord showed me four blacksmiths. ²¹ And I asked, ‘What are they coming to do?’ He answered, ‘These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no head could be raised; but these have come to terrify them, to strike down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people.’^[a]
