Zechariah 2 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. ² Then I said, Where do thou go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem. To see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it. ³ And, behold, the agent who talked with me went forth. And another agent went out to meet him, ⁴ and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein. ⁵ For I, says LORD, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. ⁶ Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says LORD. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says LORD. ⁷ Ho Zion, escape, thou who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. ⁸ For thus says LORD of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye. ⁹ For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And ye shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me. ¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says LORD. ¹¹ And many nations shall join themselves to LORD in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me to thee. ¹² And LORD shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. ¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before LORD, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.
