Zechariah 1:11

Compare all

9 Then I said, ^a“My lord, what are these?” So the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what they are.”

10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, ^a“These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.”

11 ^aSo they answered the Angel of the Lord, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is¹ resting quietly.”

The Lord Will Comfort Zion

12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, “O Lord of hosts, ^ahow long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry ^bthese seventy years?”

13 And the Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with ^agood and comforting words.

14 So the angel who spoke with me said to me,¹ “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“I am ^azealous for Jerusalem
And for Zion with great¹ zeal.

15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For ^aI was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”

16 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord:
^a“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My ^bhouse ^cshall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And ^da surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

Zechariah 1:11

All the earth sitteth still, and is at rest - There is general peace through the Persian empire, and other states connected with Judea; but the Jews are still in affliction; their city is not yet restored, nor their temple built.
