# Chapter 2
|
||
1 And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand!
|
||
2 Then 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 behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him
|
||
4 and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it.
|
||
5 And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”
|
||
6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord.
|
||
7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
|
||
8 For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye:
|
||
9 “Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
|
||
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord.
|
||
11 And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
|
||
12 And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.”
|
||
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling. |
