12 Then the angel of Yahweh replied, 'O Yahweh of Hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?'
13 Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, 'Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: 'I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.'
16 Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,' says Yahweh of Hosts, 'and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.''
