Zechariah 2

A Man with a Measuring Cord

¹Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there was a man with a ^ameasuring cord in his hand. 2 So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To ^ameasure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is.” 3 And behold, the ^aangel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him 4 and said to him, “Run, speak to that ^ayoung man, saying, ‘^bJerusalem will be inhabited ¹^cwithout walls because of the ^dmultitude of men and cattle within it. 5 Indeed I,’ declares Yahweh, ‘will be a ^awall of fire ¹around her, and I will be the ^bglory in her midst.’”
6 “¹Ho there! ^aFlee from the land of the north,” declares Yahweh, “for I have ^bdispersed you as the four winds of the heavens,” declares Yahweh. 7 “Woe, Zion! ^aEscape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” 8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, “After ¹^aglory He has sent Me against the nations which have taken you as spoil, for he who touches you, touches the ²^bapple of His eye. 9 For behold, I will ^awave My hand over them so that they will be ^bspoil for their slaves. Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me. 10 ^aSing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold, I am coming and I will ^bdwell in your midst,” declares Yahweh. 11 “^aAnd many nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day and will become My people. Then I will ^bdwell in your midst, and you will ^cknow that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 Then Yahweh will ^ainherit Judah as His portion in the holy land and will again ^bchoose Jerusalem.
13 “¹^aBe silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for He is ^baroused from His holy habitation.”
