Chapter 2

Vision of the Four Horns and the Workers.^{[a] 1} I looked up and beheld four horns. ² I inquired of the angel who was conversing with me what these were. He answered me, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

³ Then the Lord showed me four blacksmiths. And I said, “What are these coming to do?” ⁴ He replied, “Those horns scattered Judah so completely that no one dared to raise his head. However, those blacksmiths have come to terrify them and to strike down the horns of the nations that raised their horns against the land of Judah in order to scatter its people.”
