1I looked up again, and I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2Then 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."
3Then the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man. Say, 'Jerusalem will be lived in like towns without walls, because of the great number of people and cattle in it.'"
5"For I myself," says the LORD, "will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in the middle of her."
6"Ho, ho, come out, and run away from the land of the north," says the LORD, "for I have scattered you abroad like the four winds of heaven," says the LORD.
7Save yourself, Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon.
8For this is what the LORD of hosts says: After the glory he has sent me to the nations that robbed you. For anyone who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9Look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10"Sing and be glad, daughter of Zion. For look, I am coming, and I will live among you," says the LORD.
11Many nations will be joined to the LORD on that day, and they will be my people. And I will live among you, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
13Be silent, all people, before the LORD, for he has risen up out of his holy dwelling place.
