Zechariah 2

1 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked him, "Where are you going?" He answered, "I am going to measure Jerusalem to see how wide and how long it is." 3 Then the angel who was speaking with me left. Another angel came out to meet him 4 and said to him, "Run, and say to that young man, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited like an unwalled village because it will have so many people and animals in it. 5 I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD. I will be the glory within it.'

6 "Hurry, hurry! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. I've scattered you to the four winds of heaven. 7 Hurry, Zion! Escape, you inhabitants of Babylon! 8 This is what the LORD of Armies says: Afterwards, the Glory sent me to the nations who looted you. Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. 9 I'm going to shake my fist at the nations, and their own slaves will loot them. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me. 10 Sing for joy and rejoice, people of Zion. I'm going to come and live among you, declares the LORD. 11 On that day many nations will join the LORD and become my people. I will live among you. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you. 12 The LORD will claim Judah as his own in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.

13 "Everyone be silent in the presence of the LORD. He is waking up and setting out from his holy dwelling place."
