2:1  This time I saw someone holding a measuring line,
2:2  and I asked, “Where are you going?” “To measure Jerusalem,” was the answer. “To find out how wide and long it is.”
2:3  The angel who had spoken to me came toward me, when another angel came up to him
2:4  and said, “Hurry! Tell that man with the measuring line that Jerusalem won't have any boundaries. It will be too full of people and animals even to have a wall.
2:5  The Lord himself has promised to be a protective wall of fire surrounding Jerusalem, and he will be its shining glory in the heart of the city.”
2:6  The Lord says to his people, “Run! Escape from the land in the north, where I scattered you to the four winds.
2:7  Leave Babylonia and hurry back to Zion.”
2:8  Then the glorious Lord All-Powerful ordered me to say to the nations that had raided and robbed Zion: Zion is as precious to the Lord as are his eyes. Whatever you do to Zion, you do to him.
2:9  And so, he will put you in the power of your slaves, and they will raid and rob you. Then you will know that I am a prophet of the Lord All-Powerful.
2:10  City of Zion, sing and celebrate! The Lord has promised to come and live with you.
2:11  When he does, many nations will turn to him and become his people. At that time you will know that I am a prophet of the Lord All-Powerful.
2:12  Then Judah will be his part of the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his chosen city.
2:13  Everyone, be silent! The Lord is present and moving about in his holy place.
