Zechariah 2 / 14
- 1Then I looked up-and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand!
- 2I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is."
- 3Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel came to meet him
- 4and said to him: "Run, tell that young man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it.
- 5And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the LORD , 'and I will be its glory within.'
- 6"Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD , "for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven," declares the LORD .
- 7"Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!"
- 8For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you-for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye-
- 9I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.
- 10"Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD .
- 11"Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
- 12The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
- 13Be still before the LORD , all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
