In Jeremiah 23:14, YAH likens the Israelites to Sodom and Gomorrah because of Israel's wickedness. How Israel's wickedness rivaled that of Sodom is also referred to in the parable of Ezekiel 16 where Jerusalem (the capital of Judah) and Samaria (the capital of Ephraim/Israel) are referred to as the sisters of Sodom (Ezekiel 16:46). Ezekiel 16:56-57 "In your proud days you (Israel) held Sodom in contempt. But now your greater wickedness has been exposed to all the world..." Yes, Israel's wickedness was/is greater than Sodom's and as Lamentations 4:6 says, "the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people (Israel) is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her." As we know, YAH has been punishing the Israelites/the black slave descendants for almost 2000 years now, counting from the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE to the present-day (2024 CE); the 70 years we spent exiled in ancient Babylon was VERY SHORT compared to our current exile/captivity in the four corners of the earth. Horns are symbols of strength and power (Psalms 75:4-5, Psalms 132:17, Daniel 8:3 and Amos 6:13) so the four horns of Zechariah 1:18-21 are four powers that would be hostile toward Israel and scatter them. While some may make a connection between these four horns and the four kingdoms/beasts of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 (Nebuchadnezzar/Babylonian Empire, Cyrus/Medo-Persian Empire, Alexander/Macedonian Empire, and Antiochus IV Epiphanes/Seleucid Empire), there being four horns could simply represent the four winds from which they'd come (i.e. every side: North, East, South and West); Isaiah 11:12 "...He (YAH) shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." In the vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, YAH tells Ezekiel to "Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says YAH ALMIGHTY; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." These slain are the Israelites who have been scattered to the four winds, to the four corners of the earth by the four horns. But as per Zechariah 1:20-21, the four carpenters will destroy the four horns/powers of the gentiles, saving Israel from them. Carpenters/craftsmen/smiths are workers in wood, stone, and metal so they fittingly represent the power to destroy as they would to create.
