Z'kharyah (Zec) 1:12-17

Z'kharyah (Zec) 1:12-17 CJB

The angel of ADONAI said, “ADONAI-Tzva’ot, how long will you keep withholding mercy from Yerushalayim and the cities of Y’hudah? You’ve been angry with them for the past seventy years!” ADONAI replied with kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me. The angel speaking with me then said to me, “Here is what ADONAI-Tzva’ot says: ‘I am extremely jealous on behalf of Yerushalayim and Tziyon; and [to the same degree] I am extremely angry with the nations that are so self-satisfied; because I was only a little angry [at Yerushalayim and Tziyon], but they made the suffering worse.’ Therefore ADONAI says, ‘I will return to Yerushalayim with merciful deeds. My house will be rebuilt there,’ says ADONAI-Tzva’ot; ‘yes, a measuring line will be stretched out over Yerushalayim.’ In addition, proclaim that ADONAI-Tzva’ot says, ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity.’ ADONAI will again comfort Tziyon, and he will again make Yerushalayim the city of his choice.”
