Zechariah 1:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵         And I am exceedingly angry with those carefree nations.
            Though I was somewhat angry, they added to the violence.”
¹⁶ Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
    I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion.
    My house will be built in it, says the Lord of heavenly forces.
    Let a measuring line be stretched over Jerusalem.
¹⁷ “Call out again,
    The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:
        My cities will again overflow with prosperity.
            The Lord will again show compassion to Zion
                and will again choose Jerusalem.”
