Chapter 2
- And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand!
- Then 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.
- And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him
- and said to him, Run, say to that young man, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it.
- And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the Adonai, and I will be the glory in her midst.
- Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Adonai. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Adonai.
- Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
- For thus said the YHWH of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye :
- Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the YHWH of hosts has sent me.
- Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Adonai.
- And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.
- And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
- Be silent, all flesh, before the Adonai, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
