Zechariah 2:5–13

⁵And I myself will be a wall^w of fire^x around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory^y within.’^z

⁶“Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered^a you to the four winds of heaven,”^b declares the Lord.^c

⁷“Come, Zion! Escape,^d you who live in Daughter Babylon!”^{e 8}For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye^f—⁹I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.^bg Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.^h

¹⁰“Shoutⁱ and be glad, Daughter Zion.^j For I am coming,^k and I will live among you,”^l declares the Lord.^{m 11}“Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.ⁿ I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.^{o 12}The Lord will inherit^p Judah^q as his portion in the holy land and will again choose^r Jerusalem. ¹³Be still^s before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.^t”
