2:1 Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2:2 I asked, "Where are you going?" He responded, "To measure Jerusalem in order to determine its width and length."
2:3 Look! That angel who was talking to me left, and another angel came forward to meet him.
2:4 That other angel told him, "Run and tell that young man: 'Jerusalem will be an inhabited city without walls due to the number of people and livestock within it.
2:5 I myself will be an encircling rampart of fire,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be the glory in her midst.'
2:6 "'Come now! Come now! Flee from the land of the north,' declares the LORD, 'for I have dispersed you like the four winds of heaven,' declares the LORD.
2:7 "'Come now, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the residents of Babylon.
2:8 For this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "In pursuit of glory I was sent to the nations who plundered you, because whoever injures you injures the pupil of my eye.
2:9 And look, I will shake my fist over them, and they will become plunder for their former slaves. And you will know that the LORD of the Heavenly Armies sent me."'"
2:10 "Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! Take note! I am coming to live in your midst," declares the LORD.
2:11 "Many nations will cling to the LORD at that time and will become my people. I will live in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of the Heavenly Armies has sent me to you.
2:12 The LORD will take possession of Judah as his own property in the Holy Land—and he will choose Jerusalem again.
2:13 Be silent, every living thing, in the presence of the LORD, because he is emerging from his Holy Place."
