2:1  I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold! A man with a measuring line in his hand.

2:2  Then I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."

2:3  And behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him.

2:4  And he said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited, as towns without walls for the multitude of men and livestock in her midst.

2:5  And I,' says the LORD, 'will be to her a wall of fire all around, and will be the glory in her midst.' ”

2:6  "Ho! Ho! Flee then from the land of the north," says the LORD, "for I have scattered you as the four winds of the heavens," says the LORD.

2:7  "Ho! O Zion, escape, you who live with the daughter of Babylon."

2:8  For thus says the LORD of hosts; "After His glory, He sent me unto the nations who plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye,

2:9  For behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a prize for their servants. And you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.

2:10  Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for lo, I come, and I will dwell in your midst," says the LORD.

2:11  "And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people; and I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

2:12  And the LORD shall possess Judah, His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

2:13  Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He has risen out of His holy dwelling place."
