Zec2:1 Vision of the Measuring LineThe Man with the Measuring Line Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Zec2:2 So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
Zec2:3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
Zec2:4 who said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying: "Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
Zec2:5 For I,' says the LORD, "will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst."'Future Joy of Zion and Many Nations
Zec2:6 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; "for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven," says the LORD.
Zec2:7 Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
Zec2:8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
Zec2:9 For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.
Zec2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst, says the LORD.
Zec2:11 Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
Zec2:12 And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
