¹Then I looked up and saw a man. He had a measuring line in his hand. ²I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered, "I am going to measure Jerusalem. I want to see how wide and how long it is." ³Then the angel who was talking with me went out. Another angel came out to meet him. ⁴He said to him, "Run and tell that young man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls. There will be too many people and animals in it for walls. ⁵I myself will be a wall of fire all around it,' says the LORD. 'And I will be the glory inside it.'" ⁶"Get up! Get up! Run away from the land of the north," says the LORD. "For I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven," says the LORD. ⁷"Get up, Zion! Escape, you who live with Daughter Babylon!" ⁸For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: "His Glory has sent me against the nations that robbed you. For whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. After that, ⁹I will surely raise my hand against them. Then they will be robbed by their own slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me." ¹⁰"Shout for joy and be glad, Daughter Zion! For I am coming to live among you," says the LORD. ¹¹"On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD. They will become my people. I will live among you. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. ¹²The LORD will take Judah as his own share in the Holy Land. He will choose Jerusalem once again. ¹³Be silent before the LORD, all people. For he has gotten up from his holy home."
