2:1 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2:2 I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem to determine its width and length."
2:3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him.
2:4 He said to him, "Run and tell this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the number of people and livestock in it."
2:5 The declaration of the LORD: "I will be a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory within it.""
2:6 Get up! Leave the land of the north"--this is the LORD's declaration--"for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven"--this is the LORD's declaration. "
2:7 Go, Zion! Escape, you who are living with Daughter Babylon."
2:8 For the LORD of Hosts says this: "He has sent Me for His glory against the nations who are plundering you, for anyone who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.
2:9 I will move against them with My power, and they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me."
2:10 Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you"--this is the LORD's declaration. "
2:11 Many nations will join themselves to the LORD on that day and become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.
2:12 The LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.
2:13 Let all people be silent before the LORD, for He is coming from His holy dwelling."
