Zechariah 1:16

Context
The Oracle of Response

1:16 “‘Therefore,’ says the Lord, ‘I have become compassionate 1  toward Jerusalem 2  and will rebuild my temple 3  in it,’ says the Lord who rules over all. ‘Once more a surveyor’s measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’

Jeremiah 30:10-11

Context

30:10 So I, the Lord, tell you not to be afraid,

you descendants of Jacob, my servants. 4 

Do not be terrified, people of Israel.

For I will rescue you and your descendants

from a faraway land where you are captives. 5 

The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace.

They will be secure and no one will terrify them. 6 

30:11 For I, the Lord, affirm 7  that

I will be with you and will rescue you.

I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you.

But I will not completely destroy you.

I will indeed discipline you, but only in due measure.

I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished.” 8
