Zechariah 2
1THEN I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a man with a measuring line in his hand!
2and I said to him, Whither art thou going? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem to see how broad it is, and what is its length.
3Now behold the angel who had been talking with me had stopped—and another angel came out to meet him
4and spoke to him saying, Run and speak to that young man and say, Jerusalem shall be crowded with inhabitants by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
5And I will be to her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire around; and I will be a glory in the midst of her.
6O flee! flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord, for from the four winds of heaven I will gather you, saith the Lord.
7To Sion make your escape, ye who inhabit the daughter of Babylon!
8For thus saith the Lord Almighty. He behind glory hath sent me against the nations which plundered you: for he who toucheth you, is like one touching the apple of His eye.
9For behold I am bringing my hand upon them; and they shall be spoils for them who were their vassals: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty hath sent me.
10Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion! for lo! I am coming; and I will dwell amidst thee, saith the Lord;
11and many nations will flee to the Lord in that day, and be His people and dwell in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty hath sent me to thee.
12And the Lord will settle Juda in His portion, in the holy land; and will again make choice of Jerusalem.
13Let all flesh be struck with awe, at the presence of the Lord, for He is risen up from His holy clouds.
