1
5 And I lifted my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring cord.
2
6 And I said, whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.
3
7 And behold, the angel who spoke with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4
8 and said to him, Run, speak to the lad yonder, saying, Jerusalem shall dwell in the countryside from the multitude of man and beast in her midst.
5
9 And I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire all around, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6
10 Oh, oh, flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah, for I have spread you as the four winds of the heavens, says Jehovah.
7
11 Oh, Zion! Deliver thyself, thou who art dwelling with the daughter of Babylon.
8
12 For thus says Jehovah of Armies: He has sent me after the glory, to the nations which spoiled you; for he who touches on you touches on the daughter of His eye.
9
13 For, behold, I will wave My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants; and you shall know that Jehovah of Armies has sent me.
10
14 Sing aloud and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will reside in the midst of thee, says Jehovah.
11
15 And many nations shall be joined to Jehovah in that day, and shall be My people; and I will reside in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of Armies has sent me to thee.
12
16 And Jehovah shall take Judah for an inheritance, His part on the holy ground, and shall choose Jerusalem yet again.
13
17 Keep silent, O all flesh, before Jehovah; for He is stirred up out of His holy abode.
