Zechariah 2:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ The Lord rules over all. His angel says to Israel, “The Glorious One has sent me to punish the nations that have robbed you of everything. That’s because anyone who hurts you hurts those the Lord loves and guards. ⁹ So I will raise my powerful hand to strike down your enemies. Their own slaves will rob them of everything. Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me.

¹⁰ “ ‘People of Zion, shout and be glad! I am coming to live among you,’ announces the Lord.
