Zechariah 2:5–10

5 The declaration of the Lord: “I myself will be a wallb of fire around it, and I will be the glory within it.”

6 “Listen! Listen! Flee from the land of the north”c—this is the Lord’s declaration—“for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven”—this is the Lord’s declaration. 7 “Listen, Zion! Escape, you who are living with Daughter Babylon.” 8 For the Lord of Armies says this: “In pursuit of his glory, he sent me against the nations plundering you, for whoever touches you touches the pupilB of myC eye. 9 For look, I am raising my hand against them, and they will become plunder for their own servants.d Then you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me.

10 “Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you”—this is the Lord’s declaration.
