2:2 I asked him, "Where are you going?" He answered, "I am going to measure Jerusalem to see how wide and how long it is."

2:4 and said to him, "Run, and say to that young man, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited like an unwalled village because it will have so many people and animals in it.
2:5 I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD. I will be the glory within it.'
2:6 "Hurry, hurry! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. I've scattered you to the four winds of heaven.
2:7 Hurry, Zion! Escape, you inhabitants of Babylon!
2:8 This is what the LORD of Armies says: Afterwards, the Glory sent me to the nations who looted you. Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.

2:10 Sing for joy and rejoice, people of Zion. I'm going to come and live among you, declares the LORD.
2:11 On that day many nations will join the LORD and become my people. I will live among you. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
