Zechariah 1:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ But I am very ^(A)angry with the nations who are ^(B)carefree; for while I was only a little angry, they ^[a](C)furthered the disaster.” ¹⁶ Therefore the Lord says this: “I will ^(D)return to Jerusalem with compassion; My ^(E)house will be built in it,” declares the Lord of armies, “and a measuring ^(F)line will be stretched over Jerusalem.”’ ¹⁷ Again, proclaim, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “My ^(G)cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again ^(H)comfort Zion and again ^(I)choose Jerusalem.”’”
