1.6 KiB
Third Vision: Surveyor
Chapter 2
-
I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
-
I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem to determine its width and length."
-
Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him.
-
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."
-
The declaration of the Lord: "I myself will be a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory within it."
-
"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.
-
"Listen, Zion! Escape, you who are living with Daughter Babylon."
-
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.
-
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.
-
"Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you"--this is the Lord's declaration.
-
"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.
-
The Lord will take possession of Judah as his portion in the Holy Land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.
-
Let all humanity be silent before the Lord, for from his holy dwelling he has roused himself."
