Zechariah 2 (WEBP)

[1] I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
[2] Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
[3] Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
[4] and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
[5] For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
[6] Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.
[7] ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
[8] For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
[9] For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.
[10] Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.
[11] Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
[12] Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
[13] Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

[1] I lifted up H5375 (8799) mine eyes H5869 again, and looked H7200 (8799), and behold a man H376 with a measuring H4060 line H2256 in his hand H3027.
[2] Then said H559 (8799) I, Whither goest H1980 (8802) thou? And he said H559 (8799) unto me, To measure H4058 (8800) Jerusalem H3389, to see H7200 (8800) what H4100 [is] the breadth H7341 thereof, and what [is] the length H753 thereof.
[3] And, behold, the angel H4397 that talked H1696 (8802) with me went forth H3318 (8802), and another H312 angel H4397 went out H3318 (8802) to meet H7125 (8800) him,
[4] And said H559 (8799) unto him, Run H7323 (8798), speak H1696 (8761) to this H1975 young man H5288, saying H559 (8800), Jerusalem H3389 shall be inhabited H3427 (8799) [as] towns without walls H6519 for the multitude H7230 of men H120 and cattle H929 therein H8432:
[5] For I, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068, will be unto her a wall H2346 of fire H784 round about H5439, and will be the glory H3519 in the midst H8432 of her.

[7] Deliver H4422 (8734) thyself, O H1945 Zion H6726, that dwellest H3427 (8802) [with] the daughter H1323 of Babylon H894.
[8] For thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635; After H310 the glory H3519 hath he sent H7971 (8804) me unto the nations H1471 which spoiled H7997 (8802) you: for he that toucheth H5060 (8802) you toucheth H5060 (8802) the apple H892 of his eye H5869.
[9] For, behold, I will shake H5130 (8688) mine hand H3027 upon them, and they shall be a spoil H7998 to their servants H5647 (8802): and ye shall know H3045 (8804) that the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 (8804) me.
[10] Sing H7442 (8798) and rejoice H8055 (8798), O daughter H1323 of Zion H6726: for, lo, I come H935 (8802), and I will dwell H7931 (8804) in the midst H8432 of thee, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068.
[11] And many H7227 nations H1471 shall be joined H3867 (8738) to the LORD H3068 in that day H3117, and shall be my people H5971: and I will dwell H7931 (8804) in the midst H8432 of thee, and thou shalt know H3045 (8804) that the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 (8804) me unto thee.
[12] And the LORD H3068 shall inherit H5157 (8804) Judah H3063 his portion H2506 in the holy H6944 land H127, and shall choose H977 (8804) Jerusalem H3389 again.
[13] Be silent H2013 (8761), O all flesh H1320, before H6440 the LORD H3068: for he is raised up H5782 (8738) out of his holy H6944 habitation H4583.
