I lifted
up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man
with a measuring line in his hand.
02 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.
03 And, behold, the angel that talked with me
went forth, and another angel went out to meet
him,
04 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:
05 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall
of fire round about, and will be the glory in the
midst of her.
06 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.
07 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with
the daughter of Babylon.

08 For thus saith the Lord 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.
09 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them,
and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and
ye shall know that the Lord 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 Lord.
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 unto thee.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion
in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem
again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for
he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
