Zechariah 2

2:1

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2:2

“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

2:3

Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

2:4

and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.

2:5

For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

2:6

“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.

2:7

“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

2:8

For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

2:9

I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”

2:10

“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.

2:11

“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.

2:12

And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

2:13

Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
