chapter_Zechariah_2
Zechariah 2:1: And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line. Zechariah 2:2: And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much is its breadth, and how much its length.' Zechariah 2:3: And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him, Zechariah 2:4: and he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst. Zechariah 2:5: And I &#8212; I am to her &#8212; an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst. Zechariah 2:6: Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah. Zechariah 2:7: Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling with the daughter of Babylon. Zechariah 2:8: For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye. Zechariah 2:9: For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me. Zechariah 2:10: Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah. Zechariah 2:11: And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee. Zechariah 2:12: And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem. Zechariah 2:13: Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'
