1I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2And I said to the angel that spoke with me, What are these things, [my] lord? And he said to me, These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.
2Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3Andthe Lord shewed me four artificers.
3And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

And he said, These are the horns that scattered Juda, and they broke Israel in pieces, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come forth to sharpen them for their hands, [even] the four horns, the nations that lifted up the horn against the land of the Lord to scatter it.

7Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11[even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, ye that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.
