Zechariah 1:12-14

Living Bible

¹² Upon hearing this, the Angel of the Lord prayed this prayer: “O Lord Almighty, for seventy years your anger has raged against Jerusalem and the cities of Judah. How long will it be until you again show mercy to them?”

¹³ And the Lord answered the angel who stood beside me, speaking words of comfort and assurance.

¹⁴ Then the angel said, “Shout out this message from the Lord Almighty: ‘Don’t you think I care about what has happened to Judah and Jerusalem? I am as jealous as a husband for his captive wife.
