¹ I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and see a man with a measuring line in his hand. ² Then said I, Where goes you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it. ³ And, see, the angel that talked with me went forward, and another angel went out to meet him, ⁴ And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it ⁵ For I, says the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. ⁶ Ho, ho, come forward, and flee from the land of the north, says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, says the LORD. ⁷ Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwells with the daughter of Babylon. ⁸ For so says the LORD of hosts After the glory has he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye. ⁹ For, see, I will shake mine hand on them, and they will be a spoil to their servants: and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me. ¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD. ¹¹ And many nations will be joined to the LORD in that day, and will be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. ¹² And the LORD will inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and will choose Jerusalem again. ¹³ Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
