15 And I am very angry at the nations that feel so safe. I was only a little angry, and I used them to punish my people. But they caused too much damage.”

16 So the LORD says, “I will come back to Jerusalem and comfort her.” The LORD All-Powerful says, “Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and my house will be built there.”

17 The angel also said, “The LORD All-Powerful says, ‘My towns will be rich again. I will comfort Zion. I will again choose Jerusalem to be my special city.’”
