Zechariah 1:14-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ So the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim: The Lord of Armies says: I am extremely jealous^(A) for Jerusalem and Zion. ¹⁵ I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease,^(B) for I was a little angry, but they made the destruction worse.^{[a] 16} Therefore, this is what the Lord says: In mercy, I have returned to Jerusalem; my house will be rebuilt within it—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.^(C)

¹⁷ “Proclaim further: This is what the Lord of Armies says: My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the Lord will once more comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”^(D)
