Zechariah 1:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Then the angel told me, “Announce this: This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says: ‘I have a strong love for Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And I am very angry with the nations that feel so safe. I was only a little angry, but they made things worse for my people.’

¹⁶ “So this is what the Lord says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy. My Temple will be rebuilt,’ says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ‘And the measuring line will be used to rebuild Jerusalem.’
