New King James Version (NKJV)
Zechariah 1
15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped--but with evil intent."
16 ’Therefore thus says the Lord: "I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of hosts, "And a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem." ’
17 "Again proclaim, saying, ’Thus says the Lord of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem." ’ "
18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns.
19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" So he answered me, "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?" So he said, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
Zechariah 2
1 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
4 who said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying: ’Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
