¹ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
² So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
³ And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
⁴ who said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying: "Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
⁵ For I,' says the LORD, "will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst."'
⁶ "Up, up! Flee from the land of the north," says the LORD; "for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven," says the LORD.
⁷ "Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon."
⁸ For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
⁹ For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.
¹⁰ "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says the LORD.
¹¹ "Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
¹² And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"
