New International Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | Zec 2:1 | Then I looked up--and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand!
| |
| | Zec 2:2 | I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is."
| |
| | Zec 2:3 | Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel came to meet him
| |
| | Zec 2:4 | and said to him: "Run, tell that young man, `Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it.
| |
| | Zec 2:5 | And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the LORD, `and I will be its glory within.'
| |
| | Zec 2:6 | "Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven," declares the LORD.
| |
| | Zec 2:7 | "Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!"
| |
| | Zec 2:8 | For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you--for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye--
| |
| | Zec 2:9 | I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.
| |
| | Zec 2:10 | "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD.
| |
| | Zec 2:11 | "Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
| |
| | Zec 2:12 | The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
| |
| | Zec 2:13 | Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
