Zech 2
1
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.
2
And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see
how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.
3
And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet
him.
4
And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited
without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.
5
And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in
glory in the midst thereof.
6
O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you
into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord.
7
O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:
8
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that
have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:
9
For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served
them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.
10
Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell
in the midst of thee: saith the Lord.
11
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people,
and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts
hath sent me to thee.
12
And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet
choose Jerusalem.
13
Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his
.holy habitation.
