Zechariah Chapter 2

1And I lifted up my eyes and looked, and what I saw was a man, and in his hand was a measuring cord. 2And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what its width is and what its length is.” 3Then what I saw was the angel who had been speaking to me going out, and another angel coming out to meet him. 4And he said to him, “Run, speak to this young man and say, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as open villages, because of the large number of men and cattle inside it. 5And I will be to it a wall of fire round about, says the Lord, and I will be there for glory in its precincts. 6Hey, hey! Now flee from the northern land, says the Lord, for I am the one who scattered you like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord. 7Hey, Zion, make your escape, you who dwell as a dependency of Babylon. 8For this is what the Lord of hosts says: «He has sent me after glory, to the Gentiles who spoil you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of my eye. 9For I am about to wave my hand at them, and they will become a spoil to their servants, and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. 10Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion, for behold, I am coming, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord. 11And many nations will be joined to the Lord on that day, and they will be a people to me, and I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. 12And the Lord will inherit Judah his portion, on holy ground, and he will still choose Jerusalem. 13Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has been roused from his holy dwelling place.» ’ ”
