14 The angel who spoke with me then said to me, Proclaim: Thus says the Lord of hosts:I am jealous for Jerusalemand for Zion intensely jealous.
15 I am consumed with angertoward the complacent nations;When I was only a little angry,they compounded the disaster.
16 Therefore, thus says the Lord:I return to Jerusalem in mercy;my house will be rebuilt there—oracle of the Lord of hosts—and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Proclaim further: Thus says the Lord of hosts:My cities will again overflow with prosperity;the Lord will again comfort Zion,and will again choose Jerusalem.
