1Then I lifted up my eyes
and looked
, and behold
, there was a man
with a ameasuring
line
in his hand
.
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."
And behold, the aangel
who was speaking
with me was going
out, and another
angel
was coming
out to meet
him,
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.
`For I,' declares the LORD
, `will be a awall
of fire
1around
her, and I will be the bglory
in her midst
.' "
" 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
.
"Ho, Zion
! aEscape
, you who are living
with the daughter
of Babylon
."
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
.
"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.
" 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
.
" 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.
"The LORD will 1 apossess
Judah
as His portion
in the holy
land
, and will again
bchoose
Jerusalem
.
" 1 aBe silent, all
flesh
, before
the LORD
; for He is baroused
from His holy
habitation
."
