NASB Bible

Zechariah 2

God's Favor to Zion

1

 1Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a  ameasuring line in his hand.

2

So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To  ameasure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is."

3

And behold, the  aangel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him,

4

and said to him, "Run, speak to that  ayoung man, saying, ` bJerusalem will be inhabited  1 cwithout walls because of the  dmultitude of men and cattle within it.

5

`For I,' declares the LORD, `will be a  awall of fire  1around her, and I will be the  bglory in her midst.' "

6

1Ho there!  aFlee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have  bdispersed you as the four winds of the heavens," declares the LORD.

7

"Ho, Zion!  aEscape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon."

8

For thus says the LORD of hosts, "After  1 aglory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the  2 bapple of His eye.

9

"For behold, I will  awave My hand over them so that they will be  bplunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.

10

aSing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will  bdwell in your midst," declares the LORD.

11

aMany nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will  bdwell in your midst, and you will  cknow that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.

12

"The LORD will  1 apossess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again  bchoose Jerusalem.

13

1 aBe silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is  baroused from His holy habitation."
