Zechariah 1:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ At once, the man standing among the myrtle trees said, “These are the ones the Lord has sent to find out what's happening on earth.”

¹¹ Then the riders spoke to the Lord's angel, who was standing among the myrtle trees, and they said, “We have gone everywhere and have discovered that the whole world is at peace.”

¹² At this, the angel said, “Lord All-Powerful, for 70 years you have been angry with Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. When are you ever going to have mercy on them?”
