# Zechariah 2 [[Zechariah 1|←]] • [[Zechariah 3|→]] --- ### 1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. ### 2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what the breadth thereof, and what the length thereof. ### 3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, ### 4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: ### 5 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. ### 6 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord. ### 7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest the daughter of Babylon. ### 8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. ### 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me. ### 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, 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 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 unto thee. ### 12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. ### 13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
