2:1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw a man with a measuring cord in his hand.
2:2 And I said, “Where are you going?” And he responded, “To measure Jerusalem and to note what is its width and length.”
2:3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and then another angel came out to meet him,
2:4 and said to him, “Run, say to this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and animals in her.
2:5 And I will be like a wall of fire all around her, says the Lord, and I will be as glory in her midst.”
2:6 Up, up, flee from the northern land, says the Lord, for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
2:7 Deliver yourself, O Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon.
2:8 For thus says the Lord of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
2:9 For I will swing My hand against them, and they will become plunder for their servants. Then you will know well that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me.
2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for I am coming and will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
2:11 And many nations will join themselves with the Lord in that day, and they will be My people. And I will reside in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to you.
2:12 And the Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and He will again choose Jerusalem.
2:13 Be still, all flesh before the Lord, for He is stirred from His holy habitation.
