Then the Lord was jealous for his land and took pity on his people.

Then the Lord was concerned for his land. He took pity on his people.

Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people.

Then the LORD became jealous for his land and spared his people.

Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And will have compassion for His people.

Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people.

Then was Jehovah jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.

Then the Lord became jealous for His land and spared His people.

Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

Then the LORD became zealous for his land; he had compassion on his people.

Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.

Then the angel said to me,“ Shout this message for all to hear:‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: My love for Jerusalem and Mount Zion is passionate and strong.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: My love for Mount Zion is passionate and strong; I am consumed with passion for Jerusalem!

The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

Lord, look down from heaven; look from your holy, glorious home, and see us. Where is the passion and the might you used to show on our behalf? Where are your mercy and compassion now?

In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.

We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.

“ Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns, and their kings will serve you. For though I have destroyed you in my anger, I will now have mercy on you through my grace.

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods; they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

“ Is not Israel still my son, my darling child?” says the Lord.“ I often have to punish him, but I still love him. That’s why I long for him and surely will have mercy on him.

Then the Israelites put aside their foreign gods and served the Lord. And he was grieved by their misery.

“ Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.No, I will not unleash my fierce anger. I will not completely destroy Israel, for I am God and not a mere mortal. I am the Holy One living among you, and I will not come to destroy.

The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies.

But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children

“ So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.

“ Rejoice with him, you heavens, and let all of God’s angels worship him. Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles, and let all the angels be strengthened in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children; he will take revenge against his enemies. He will repay those who hate him and cleanse his people’s land.”

“ Indeed, the Lord will give justice to his people, and he will change his mind about his servants, when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free.
