The Book of Zechariah 2

2 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.” 3 And behold, the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him. 4 And he said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; saying,

‘Jerusalem will sit in the open country

because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.

5 For I—this is Yahweh’s declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her,

and I will be the glory in her midst.

6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—declares Yahweh—

for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—declares Yahweh.

7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!’”

8 For Yahweh of hosts said this, after he honored and sent me against the nations that plundered you—

for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God’s eye!

9 “For I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.”

Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.

10 “Sing and be glad, daughter of Zion,

for I myself will come and encamp among you!—declares Yahweh.”

11 Then great nations will join Yahweh in that day and they will become my people;

and I will encamp in your midst, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.

12 Then Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land

and will once again choose Jerusalem.

13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from his holy place!
