¹⁰ The man standing among the myrtles responded,
        “These are the ones the Lord sent to patrol the earth.”
¹¹ Then they responded to the Lord’s messenger,
    who was standing among the myrtles,
        “We have patrolled the earth. The whole earth is peaceful and quiet.”
¹² Then the Lord’s messenger, who was speaking with me, said:
    “Lord of heavenly forces,
            how long will you withhold compassion from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah,
                with whom you have been angry these seventy years?”
