Chapter 2 |
| 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 is the breadth thereof, and what is 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 as 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, come forth, 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 with
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. |
