Zechariah 1:14-17

NSB(i) 14 The angel said: »Call out, say, this is what Jehovah of Hosts has said: ‘I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with intense ardor. 15 ‘And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease (secure). I was but a little angered and they caused my anger to grow into fury.’« 16 »Therefore,« said Jehovah: »I will return to Jerusalem with compassion. My house will be built in it,« said Jehovah of Hosts, »and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.« 17 »Pronounce again, Jehovah of hosts: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity. Jehovah will comfort Zion and yet choose Jerusalem.’«
