1 I lifted up my eyes again, and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then said I, Where do you go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth, and what is the length.
3 And, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, says Jehovah: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, says Jehovah.
7 Deliver yourself, Oh Zion, that dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus says Jehovah  of hosts; After the glory has he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 For, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know that Jehovah  of hosts has sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, Oh daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Jehovah.
11 And many nations shall be joined to Jehovah  in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Jehovah  of hosts has sent me to you.
12 And Jehovah  shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, Oh all flesh, before Jehovah: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
