MLV(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 you 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 messenger who talked with me went forth. And another messenger went out to meet him, 4 and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it. 5 For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire all around and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah. For I have spread you* abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Jehovah. 7 Ho Zion, escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For Jehovah of hosts says thus: 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 will be a spoil to those who served them. And you* will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Jehovah. 11 And many nations will join themselves to Jehovah in that day and will be my people and I will dwell in the midst of you. And you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. 12 And Jehovah will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will yet choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.
