Zacharias 1:21
And I said: What come these to do? and he spoke, saying: These are the horns which have scattered Juda every man apart, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, that have lifted up the horn upon the land of Juda to scatter it.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et dixi : Quid isti veniunt facere ? Qui ait, dicens : Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam per singulos viros, et nemo eorum levavit caput suum : et venerunt isti deterrere ea, ut dejiciant cornua gentium, quæ levaverunt cornu super terram Juda ut dispergerent eam.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπα Τί οὗτοι ἔρχονται ποιῆσαι; καὶ εἶπεν Ταῦτα τὰ κέρατα τὰ διασκορπίσαντα τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατέαξαν, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἦρεν κεφαλήν· καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν οὗτοι τοῦ ὀξῦναι αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν τὰ τέσσαρα κέρατα, τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ⸂⸆⸃ ἐπαιρόμενα κέρας ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν Κυρίου τοῦ διασκορπίσαι αὐτήν.

Haydock's commentary
Every. Hebrew, "at pleasure; none shall lift," &c. These kingdoms shall no longer prove formidable. (Calmet)
Fray, or "terrify." Septuagint, "to sharpen them in their hands. The horns are nations," &c. (Haydock)
