Zechariah 1:11-13

New International Version

¹¹ And they reported to the angel of the Lord^(A) who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace.”^(B)

¹² Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord Almighty, how long^(C) will you withhold mercy^(D) from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah,^(E) which you have been angry with these seventy^(F) years?” ¹³ So the Lord spoke^(G) kind and comforting words^(H) to the angel who talked with me.^(I)
