1I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2Then said I, Whither go you? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4And 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:
5For I, says Yahuah (LORD), will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, says Yahuah (LORD): for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, says Yahuah (LORD).
7Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8For thus says Yahuah Tseva'ot (LORD of hosts); After the glory has he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9For, behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know that Yahuah Tseva'ot (LORD of hosts) has sent me.
10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Yahuah (LORD).
11And many nations shall be joined to Yahuah (LORD) in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahuah Tseva'ot (LORD of hosts) has sent me unto you.
12And Yahuah (LORD) shall inherit Yahudah (Judah) his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13Be silent, O all flesh, before Yahuah (LORD): for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
