Zechariah Chapter 2
|
|||
|
|
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
|
|||
|
|
2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
|
|||
|
|
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
|
|||
|
|
4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
|
|||
|
|
8 For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
|
|||
|
|
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.
|
|||
|
|
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
|
|||
|
|
12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
|
|||
|
|
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
