Zechariah 2

2I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold ^aa man ^abwith a measuring ^cline in his hand. ²Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, ^bTo measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. ³And, behold, ^dthe angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, ⁴And said unto him, Run, speak to ^ethis young man, saying,

^eeJerusalem shall be inhabited as ^ftowns ^gwithout walls

^hFor the multitude of men and cattle therein:

⁵For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her ^gia wall of fire ^kround about,

And will be ^lthe glory ^min the midst of her.

⁶Ho, ho, come forth, and ⁿflee ^ofrom the land of the north, saith the Lord:

For I have ^pqspread you abroad ^qas ^rthe four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.

^7nsDeliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

⁸For thus saith the Lord of hosts;

After ^lthe glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you:

For ^the that toucheth you ^utoucheth ^vthe apple of his eye.

⁹For, behold, I will ^wshake mine hand upon them,

And ^xthey shall be a spoil to their servants:

And ^yye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.

^10zSing and rejoice, ^aO daughter of Zion:

For, ^blo, I come, and ^cI will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

¹¹And ^dmany nations ^eshall be joined to the Lord ^fin that day,

And shall be my people:

And ^cI will dwell in the midst of thee,

And ^ythou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

¹²And the Lord shall ^fginherit Judah ^ghis portion in the holy land,

And ^hshall choose Jerusalem again.

¹³ⁱBe silent, O all flesh, before the Lord:

For he is raised up ^kout of ^†his holy habitation.
