15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For (A)I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”

My (C)house (D)shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And (E)a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

“My cities shall again [a]spread out through prosperity;
(F)The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And (G)will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”

15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
