1 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, aa man with a measuring line in his hand.  
2 So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, a“To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”  
3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
4 who said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: a‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.  
5 For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be aa wall of fire all around her, band I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”
