12 Then|strong="H6030" the|strong="H3068" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" answered|strong="H6030" and|strong="H3063" said|strong="H6030", O|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635", how|strong="H4970" long|strong="H5704" wilt thou|strong="H5704" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H7355" mercy|strong="H7355" on|strong="H3068" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" and|strong="H3063" on|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" cities|strong="H5892" of|strong="H3068" Judah|strong="H3063", against|strong="H3068" which|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H5704" hast had|strong="H3068" indignation|strong="H2194" these|strong="H2088" threescore|strong="H7657" and|strong="H3063" ten|strong="H7657" years|strong="H8141"?
13 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" answered|strong="H6030" the|strong="H3068" angel|strong="H4397" that|strong="H3068" talked|strong="H1696" with|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1696" with|strong="H3068" good|strong="H2896" words|strong="H1697", even comfortable|strong="H5150" words|strong="H1697".
14 So|strong="H3541" the|strong="H3541" angel|strong="H4397" that|strong="H3068" talked|strong="H1696" with|strong="H3068" me|strong="H7121" said|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" me|strong="H7121", Cry|strong="H7121" thou|strong="H1696", saying|strong="H1696", Thus|strong="H3541" saith|strong="H1696" the|strong="H3541" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635": I|strong="H3541" am|strong="H3068" jealous|strong="H7065" for|strong="H7121" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" and|strong="H3068" for|strong="H7121" Zion|strong="H6726" with|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" jealousy|strong="H7068".
15 And|strong="H1419" I|strong="H5921" am very|strong="H1419" sore|strong="H7451" displeased|strong="H7107" with|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" nations|strong="H1471" that|strong="H1471" are|strong="H1992" at|strong="H5921" ease|strong="H7600": for|strong="H5921" I|strong="H5921" was|strong="H7451" but|strong="H1992" a|strong="H3068" little|strong="H4592" displeased|strong="H7107", and|strong="H1419" they|strong="H1992" helped|strong="H5826" forward the|strong="H5921" affliction|strong="H7451".
16 Therefore|strong="H3651" thus|strong="H3541" saith|strong="H5002" the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068": I|strong="H3541" am|strong="H3068" returned|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" with|strong="H1004" mercies|strong="H7356"; my|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" built|strong="H1129" in|strong="H5921" it|strong="H5921", saith|strong="H5002" the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1004" hosts|strong="H6635", and|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" line shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" stretched|strong="H5186" forth|strong="H5186" over|strong="H5921" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
17 Cry|strong="H7121" yet|strong="H5750" again|strong="H5750", saying, Thus|strong="H3541" saith the|strong="H3541" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635": My|strong="H3068" cities|strong="H5892" through|strong="H5892" prosperity|strong="H2896" shall|strong="H3068" yet|strong="H5750" be|strong="H5750" spread|strong="H6327" abroad|strong="H6327"; and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3541" LORD|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" yet|strong="H5750" comfort|strong="H5162" Zion|strong="H6726", and|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" yet|strong="H5750" choose Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
18 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 And the LORD|strong="H3068" shewed me four smiths.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
