2:1 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2:2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.”
2:3 Then the angel who spoke with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him
2:4 and said to him, “Run, say to that young man: Jerusalem shall be inhabited like unwalled villages because of the multitude of people and animals in it.
2:5 For I will be a wall of fire all around it, says the Lord, and I will be the glory within it.”
2:6 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord, for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
2:7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with daughter Babylon.
2:8 For thus said the Lord of hosts after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you: Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
2:9 For I am going to raise my hand against them, and they shall become plunder for their own slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! For I will come and dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
2:11 Many nations shall join themselves to the Lord on that day and shall be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
2:12 The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
2:13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
