Zechariah 2
The Exiles
Summoned |
1 |
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked,
and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
|
2 |
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he
said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the
breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
|
3 |
And, behold, the angel that talked with
me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
|
4 |
and said unto him, Run, speak to this
young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns
without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
|
5 |
For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and
will be the glory in the midst of her.
|
6 |
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee
from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for
I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the
LORD.
|
7 |
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
|
8 |
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto
the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth
the apple of his eye.
|
9 |
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon
them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know
that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
|
10 |
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion:
for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the
LORD.
|
11 |
And many nations shall be joined to the
LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I
will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
|
12 |
And the LORD shall
inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose
Jerusalem again.
|
13 |
Be silent, O all flesh, before the
LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy
habitation.
