Zechariah 1:12-13

Context
1:12 The angel of the Lord then asked, “Lord who rules over all,¹ how long before you have compassion on Jerusalem² and the other cities of Judah which you have been so angry with for these seventy years?”³ 1:13 The Lord then addressed good, comforting words to the angelic messenger who was speaking to me.

¹sn Note that here the angel of the Lord is clearly distinct from the Lord who rules over all himself.

³sn The seventy years refers to the predicted period of Babylonian exile, a period with flexible beginning and ending points depending on the particular circumstances in view (cf. Jer 25:1; 28:1; 29:10; Dan 9:2). Here the end of the seventy years appears to be marked by the completion of the temple in 516 b.c., exactly seventy years after its destruction in 586.
