Then the angel who was speaking to me said,“ Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says:‘ I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,

So the angel who talked with me said to me,‘ Cry out, Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion.

Then the angel said to me,“ Shout this message for all to hear:‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: My love for Jerusalem and Mount Zion is passionate and strong.

So the angel who was speaking with me said,“ Proclaim: The LORD of Armies says: I am extremely jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.

So the angel who was speaking with me said to me,“ Proclaim, saying,‘ This is what the Lord of armies says:“ I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.

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

So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

So the angel who was speaking with me said,“ Proclaim: The Lord of Hosts says: I am extremely jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.

So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Turning to me, the messenger then said,“ Cry out that the LORD who rules over all says,‘ I am very much moved for Jerusalem and for Zion.

So the angel who talked with me said to me,“ Proclaim, saying,‘ Yahweh of Armies says:“ I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Then the Lord was concerned for his land. He took pity on his people.

Another messenger says,“ Cry out.” And I said,“ What should I cry?”“ Cry out,‘ All people are like grass. They don’t stay faithful to me any longer than wildflowers last.

An angel was talking with me. I asked him,“ Sir, what are these?” He answered,“ I will show you what they are.”

“‘ He says,“ My towns will be filled with good things once more. I will comfort Zion. And I will choose Jerusalem again.” ’ ”

There will be no limit to how great his authority is. The peace he brings will never end. He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom. He will make the kingdom strong and secure. His rule will be based on what is fair and right. It will last forever. The Lord’ s great love will make sure that happens. He rules over all.

Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?

The Lord will march out like a mighty warrior. He will stir up his anger like a soldier getting ready to fight. He will shout the battle cry. And he will win the battle over his enemies.

The Lord continues,“ People of Ephraim, how can I give you up? Israel, how can I hand you over to your enemies? Can I destroy you as I did the town of Admah? Can I treat you like Zeboyim? My heart is stirred inside me. It is filled with pity for you.

The angel who was talking with me was leaving. At that time, another angel came over to him.He said to him,“ Run! Tell that young man Zechariah,‘ Jerusalem will be a city that does not have any walls around it. It will have huge numbers of people and animals in it.

“ I am very jealous for my people in Zion. In fact, I am burning with jealousy for them.”He continued,“ I will return to Zion. I will live among my people in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City. And my mountain will be called the Holy Mountain.”

At that time Hezekiah had asked,“ What will the sign be to prove I’ll go up to the Lord’ s temple?” That’s when the Lord had made the shadow go back ten steps.

So the Lord replied with kind and comforting words. He spoke them to the angel who talked with me.

“ Comfort my people,” says your God.“ Comfort them.

Then the angel who was talking with me returned. He woke me up. It was as if I had been asleep.

He will put the armor of holiness on his chest. He’ll put the helmet of salvation on his head. He’ll pay people back for the wrong things they do. He’ll wrap himself in anger as if it were a coat.

The Lord is a jealous God who punishes people. He pays them back for the evil things they do. He directs his anger against them. The Lord punishes his enemies. He holds his anger back until the right time to use it.
