Bible, King James Version
Zechariah
Zech.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.
