Zechariah 1:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ Then the other riders reported to the Angel of the Lord, “We have patrolled the whole earth, and everywhere there is prosperity and peace.”

¹² Upon hearing this, the Angel of the Lord prayed this prayer: “O Lord Almighty, for seventy years your anger has raged against Jerusalem and the cities of Judah. How long will it be until you again show mercy to them?”

¹³ And the Lord answered the angel who stood beside me, speaking words of comfort and assurance.
