Zechariah 2
- I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked,
and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
- Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is
the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
- And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another
angel went out to meet him,
- And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem
shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle
therein:
- For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about,
and will be the glory in the midst of her.
- Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the
LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the
LORD.
- Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
- For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me
unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple
of his eye.
- For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a
spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
- Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in
the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
- And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall
be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that
the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
- And the LORD shall inherit Judah
his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
- Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of
his holy habitation.
