Zechariah 1:14

New English Translation

¹⁴Turning to me, the messenger then said, “Cry out that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says, ‘I am very much moved^[a] for Jerusalem and for Zion.

Zechariah 1:14 tn Heb “jealous for” (so KJV, ASV); NIV, NRSV “very jealous for”; CEV “very protective of.” The meaning is that Jerusalem/Zion is the special object of God’s grace and purposes. This results in his unusual protection of his people, a protection not accorded others with whom he does not have such a close relationship.
