| 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. |
