# Chapter 2
|
|
1. I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
|
|
2. I asked, "Where are you going?"
|
|
He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem to determine its width and length."
|
|
|
|
3. Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him.
|
|
4. He said to him, "Run and tell this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the number of people and animals in it."
|
|
5. The declaration of the Lord: "I myself will be a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory within it."
|
|
|
|
6. "Listen! Listen! Flee from the land of the north"--this is the Lord's declaration--"for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven"--this is the Lord's declaration.
|
|
7. "Listen, Zion! Escape, you who are living with Daughter Babylon."
|
|
8. For the Lord of Armies says this: "In pursuit of his glory, he sent me against the nations plundering you, for whoever touches you touches the pupil of my eye.
|
|
9. For look, I am raising my hand against them, and they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me.
|
|
|
|
10. "Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you"--this is the Lord's declaration.
|
|
11. "Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and become my people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you.
|
|
12. The Lord will take possession of Judah as his portion in the Holy Land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.
|
|
13. Let all humanity be silent before the Lord, for from his holy dwelling he has roused himself."
