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 16 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: In mercy, I have returned to Jerusalem; my house will be rebuilt within it—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.n

17 “Proclaim further: This is what the Lord of Armies says: My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the Lord will once more comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”o
