| 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 LORD, 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 LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. --
|
7 |
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon. --
|
8 |
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. --
|
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 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. --
