Zechariah 1:16 in Context — Zechariah 1
14 Et l’ange qui parlait avec moi me dit: Crie, et dis: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Je suis ému d’une grande jalousie pour Jérusalem et pour Sion,
15 et je suis saisi d’une grande irritation contre les nations orgueilleuses; car je n’étais que peu irrité, mais elles ont contribué au mal.
16 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel: Je reviens à Jérusalem avec compassion; ma maison y sera rebâtie, et le cordeau sera étendu sur Jérusalem.
17 Crie de nouveau, et dis: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Mes villes auront encore des biens en abondance; l’Éternel consolera encore Sion, il choisira encore Jérusalem.
18 Je levai les yeux et je regardai, et voici, il y avait quatre cornes.
