1 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked him, |Where are you going?| He answered, |I am going to measure Jerusalem to see how wide and how long it is.| 3 Then the angel who was speaking with me left. Another angel came out to meet him 4 and said to him, |Run, and say to that young man, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited like an unwalled village because it will have so many people and animals in it. 5 I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD. I will be the glory within it.' 6 |Hurry, hurry! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. I've scattered you to the four winds of heaven. 7 Hurry, Zion! Escape, you inhabitants of Babylon! 8 This is what the LORD of Armies says: Afterwards, the Glory sent me to the nations who looted you. Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. 9 I'm going to shake my fist at the nations, and their own slaves will loot them. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.
