Zechariah
2
- Then I looked up -- and there before me
was a man with a measuring line in his hand !
- I asked, "Where are you going?"
He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long
it is."
- Then the angel who was speaking to me left,
and another angel came to meet him
- and said to him: "Run, tell that young
man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of
men and livestock in it.
- And I myself will be a wall of fire around
it,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be its glory within.'
- "Come! Come! Flee from the land of
the north," declares the LORD, "for I have scattered you to the
four winds of heaven," declares the LORD.
- "Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live
in the Daughter of Babylon !"
- For this is what the LORD Almighty says:
"After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have
plundered you -- for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye --
- I will surely raise my hand against them
so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty
has sent me.
- "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion.
For I am coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD.
- "Many nations will be joined with the
LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you
will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
- The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion
in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
- Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because
he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
