Zechariah Chapter 2 (Index)

001  I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

002  Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

003  And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

004  And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

005  For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

006  Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

007  Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

008  For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

009  For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

010  Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

011  And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

012  And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

013  Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
