Zechariah 1:14-16

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “Proclaim, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “I am jealous [with a burning, fiery passion] for Jerusalem and for Zion [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely mine] with a great jealousy. ¹⁵ But I am very angry with the ^[a]nations who are at ease and feel secure; for while I was only a little angry, they ^[b]furthered the disaster [against the people of Israel].” ¹⁶ Therefore, thus says the Lord, “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy and compassion. My house shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts, “and a ^[c]measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’
