Chapter 2 I lifted up mine eyes again and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring
line in his hand.
Then said I, With a ghost thou?
And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof,
and what is the length thereof.
And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to
meet him, 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.
For I, saith the Lord, will be under her a wall of fire round about, and will be the
glory in the midst of her.
O 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.
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
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.
For behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be aspoiled at their
servants, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the
midst of thee, saith the Lord.
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.
And the Lord shall inherit Judah, his portion in the holy land, and shall
choose Jerusalem again.
Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord, for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
