Zechariah 2

¹Zechariah 2:1. Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.²Zechariah 2:2. “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”³Zechariah 2:3. Then the angel who was speaking with me went forth, and another angel came forward to meet him⁴Zechariah 2:4. and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.⁵Zechariah 2:5. For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”⁶Zechariah 2:6. “Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.⁷Zechariah 2:7. “Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”⁸Zechariah 2:8. For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—⁹Zechariah 2:9. I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”¹⁰Zechariah 2:10. “Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.¹¹Zechariah 2:11. “On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.¹²Zechariah 2:12. And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.¹³Zechariah 2:13. Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
