Zechariah 1:10-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees responded and said, 'These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.' 11So they responded to the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, 'We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is still and quiet.'
12Then the angel of the Lord said, 'Lord of armies, how long will You take no pity on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been indignant for these seventy years?'
13And the Lord responded to the angel who was speaking with me with gracious words, comforting words.
14So 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.
15But I am very angry with the nations who are carefree; for while I was only a little angry, they furthered the disaster.'

Chapter 1
10And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 11And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. 12Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. 14So 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. 15And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
12Upon hearing this, the angel of the Lord prayed this prayer: 'O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, for seventy years now you have been angry with Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. How long until you again show mercy to them?'
13And the Lord spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.
14Then 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.
15But I am very angry with the other nations that are now enjoying peace and security. I was only a little angry with my people, but the nations inflicted harm on them far beyond my intentions.
