Zechariah 1:14

Context
1:14 Turning to me, the messenger then said, “Cry out that the Lord who rules over all says, ‘I am very much moved 1  for Jerusalem and for Zion.

Zechariah 2:13

Context
2:13 Be silent in the Lord’s presence, all people everywhere, 2  for he is being moved to action in his holy dwelling place. 3 

1 tn Heb “jealous for” (so KJV, ASV); NIV, NRSV “very jealous for”; CEV “very protective of.” The meaning is that Jerusalem/Zion is the special object of God’s grace and purposes. This results in his unusual protection of his people, a protection not accorded others with whom he does not have such a close relationship.

2 tn Heb “all flesh”; NAB, NIV “all mankind.”

3 sn The sense here is that God in heaven is about to undertake an occupation of his earthly realm (v. 12) by restoring his people to the promised land.
