Then the angel who was speaking with me came out, saying, “Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.”
Then He said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the gate of the altar, in the entrance, was this image of jealousy.
So the angel who spoke with me said, Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: I have a great jealousy for Jerusalem and Zion.
And I said to the angel speaking to me, “What are these?” And he answered, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
And I said, “What are these, my lord?” Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “I will show you what these are.”
Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and then another angel came out to meet him,
Then the angel speaking with me responded, “Do you really not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
