Zechariah 1:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ The messenger speaking with me called out,
    “This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
        I care passionately about Jerusalem and Zion.
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.
