Zechariah 1:17-19
The Message
Zechariah 1:17-19
The Message
16-17 “‘I’ve come back to Jerusalem, but with compassion this time.’
This is God speaking.
‘I’ll see to it that my Temple is rebuilt.’

‘My cities will prosper again,
God will comfort Zion again,
Jerusalem will be back in my favor again.’”
