2:3  Then the angel who was talking with me left, and another angel came out to meet him.
2:4  The second angel said to him, “Run and tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will become a city without walls, because there will be so many people and cattle in it.
2:5  I will be a wall of fire around it,’ says the Lord. ‘And I will be the glory within it.’
2:6  “Oh no! Oh no! Run away from Babylon, because I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord.
2:7  “Oh no, Jerusalem! Escape, you who live right in Babylon.”
2:8  This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “After he has honored me and sent me against the nations who took your possessions—because whoever touches you hurts what is precious to me—
