Zechariah 1:13
The Lord answered the angel - And the angel told the prophet that the answer was gracious and comfortable. This answer is given in the next verse.
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.
“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.”
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.” ’
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.” ’
