King James VersionZechariah2

Zechariah

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.
