He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses. 9 “What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.” 10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.” 11 And the riders answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.” 12 Then the angel of Yahweh said, “How long, O Yahweh of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?” 13 So Yahweh spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me. 14 Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what Yahweh of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, 15 but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’ 16 Therefore this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares Yahweh of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’ 17 Proclaim further that this is what Yahweh of Hosts says: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity; Yahweh will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’ ”
