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 9:2

Context
9:2 as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre 2  and Sidon, 3  though they consider themselves to be very wise.

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.
