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

2:2   So I said, "Where do you intend to go?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see its width and its length."

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

2:4   and said to him, "Run, speak to that young man, saying, ' Jerusalem will receive new inhabitants without walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it.

2:5   'For I,' declares the LORD, 'will provide a wall of fire around her, and I will serve as the glory in her midst.'"

2:6   "Ho there! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens," declares the LORD.

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

2:8   For thus says the LORD of hosts, "After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.

2:9   "For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will become plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.

2:10   " Sing for joy and feel glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I come and I will dwell in your midst," declares the LORD.

2:11  " Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.

2:12   "The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

2:13   " Keep silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He has aroused Himself from His holy habitation."
