Zechariah 1:12–15

12 Then the angel of the Lord responded, “How long, Lord of Armies, will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that you have been angry with these seventy years?”k 13 The Lord replied with kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.

14 So the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim: The Lord of Armies says: I am extremely jealousl for Jerusalem and Zion. 15 I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease,m for I was a little angry, but they made the destruction worse.C
