New International Version - Zechariah 2 << | >> 1234567891011121314 2:1 Then I looked up-and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2:2 I asked, 'Where are you going?' He answered me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.' 2:3 Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel came to meet him 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. 2:5 And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the Lord , 'and I will be its glory within.' 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. 2:7 'Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!' 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- 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. 2:10 'Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,' declares the Lord. 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. 2:12 The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. 2:13 Be still before the Lord , all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.'
