2:1 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with
a measuring line in his hand.
2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To
measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth, and what [is]
its length.
2:3 And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and
another angel went out to meet him,
2:4 And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying,
Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the
multitude of men and cattle in it.
2:5 For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on
every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
2:6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north,
saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds
of the heaven, saith the LORD.
2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter
of Babylon.
2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he
sent me to the nations which wasted you: for he that toucheth
you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
2:9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall
be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD
of hosts hath sent me.
2:10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and
I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day,
and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee,
and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to
thee.
2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy
land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised
up out of his holy habitation.
