Zechariah 1:9-13

Then I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.”

And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees responded and said, “These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.”

So they responded to the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is still and quiet.”

Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord of armies, how long will You take no pity on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been indignant for these seventy years?”

And the Lord responded to the angel who was speaking with me with gracious words, comforting words.
