Zechariah 1:14-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. So the angel told me to announce:I, the Lord All-Powerful, am very protective of Jerusalem.

15. For a while I was angry with the nations, but now I am furious, because they have made things worse for Jerusalem and are not the least bit concerned.

16. And so, I will have pity on Jerusalem. The city will be completely rebuilt, and my temple will stand again.

17. I also promise that my towns will prosper—Jerusalem will once again be my chosen city, and I will comfort the people of Zion.
