Chapter 2
1
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5
For I, saith the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6
¶ Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*.
7
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8
For thus saith the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* of hosts hath sent me.
10
¶ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*.
11
And many nations shall be joined to the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12
And the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13
Be silent, O all flesh, before the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
