15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For (A)I was a little angry,

16 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord:

(B)“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My (C)house (D)shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And (E)a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

17 “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“My cities shall again [a]spread out through prosperity;
(F)The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And (G)will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”
