Zechariah 2 — WEBBE
2Verse 1I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.Verse 2Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”Verse 3Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,Verse 4and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.Verse 5For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.Verse 6Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.Verse 7‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’Verse 8For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.Verse 9For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.Verse 10Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.Verse 11Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell amongst you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.Verse 12The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.Verse 13Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
