Zechariah
2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a
measuring line in his hand.
2:2 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.
2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel
went out to meet him,
2:4 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:
2:5 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.
2:6 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.
2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
2:8 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.
2:9 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.
2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell
in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
2:11 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.
2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall
choose Jerusalem again.
2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his
holy habitation.
