21 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked , and behold , there was a man with a measuring line in his hand . 2 So I said , "Where are you going ?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem , to see how wide it is and how long it is." 3 And behold , the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 and said to him, "Run , speak to that young man , saying , ' Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. 5 'For I,' declares the Lord , 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst .' "
6 "Ho there ! Flee from the land of the north ," declares the Lord , "for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens ," declares the Lord . 7 "Ho , Zion ! Escape , you who are living with the daughter of Babylon ." 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts , "After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye . 9 "For behold , I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves . Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.
10 " Sing for joy and be glad , O daughter of Zion ; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst ," declares the Lord . 11 " Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people . Then I will dwell in your midst , and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 "The Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land , and will again choose Jerusalem . 13 " Be silent , all flesh , before e the Lord ; for He is aroused from His holy habitation ."
