10 And the man standing between the myrtle shrubs answered and said, “These are those whom Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.”
11 And they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle shrubs, and they said, “We have patrolled the earth, and look, all the earth is dwelling in peace.”
12 The angel of Yahweh answered and said, “O Yahweh of hosts, how long will you have no compassion on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which you showed fury these seventy years?”
13 With gracious and comforting words Yahweh answered the angel who was talking with me.
14 And the angel who was talking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “I am very jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion!
15 And I am extremely angry with the nations that are at ease, for while I was a little angry, they furthered disaster.”
16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion. My temple will be built in it,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
