Zechariah 2:1-7 ▼

1 And I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.

2 And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

3 And behold, the angel who was speaking with me went forth, and another angel was coming out to meet him.

4 And he said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will sit in the open country, because of the multitude of men and livestock in her midst.

5 And I will be unto her, a declaration of YHWH, a wall of fire all around, and I will be as glory in her midst!’”

6 “Up, up, and flee from the land of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “For like the four winds of the heavens, I have scattered you?,” a declaration of YHWH.

7 “Up, O Zion, Escape, you who are dwelling with the daughter of Babylon.”
