Zechariah 1:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ And I am very angry with the nations that feel so safe. I was only a little angry at them, but they made things worse.’

¹⁶ “So this is what the Lord says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy. My Temple will be rebuilt,’ says the Lord All-Powerful, ‘and the measuring line will be used to rebuild Jerusalem.’

¹⁷ “Also announce: This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: ‘My towns will be rich again. The Lord will comfort Jerusalem again, and I will again choose Jerusalem.’”
