¹ And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line. ² And I said to him, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it. ³ And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood by, and another angel went forth to meet him, ⁴ and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, ⁵ And I will be to her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

⁶ Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord, ⁷ even to Sion: deliver yourselves, ye that dwell with the daughter of Babylon. ⁸ For thus saith the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye. ⁹ For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

¹⁰ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. ¹¹ And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee. ¹² And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy land, and he will yet choose Jerusalem. ¹³ Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
