[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!”
King James Version

A Measuring Line

[1] I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 again, and looked, H7200 and behold a man H376 with a measuring H4060 line H2256 in his hand. H3027 [2] Then said H559 I, Whither goest H1980 thou? And he said H559 unto H413 me, To measure H4058 H853 Jerusalem, H3389 to see H7200 what H4100 is the breadth H7341 thereof, and what is the length H753 thereof. [3] And, behold, the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me went forth, H3318 and another H312 angel H4397 went out H3318 to meet H7125 him, [4] and said H559 unto H413 him, Run, H7323 speak H1696 to this H1975 young man, H5288 saying, H559 Jerusalem H3389 shall be inhabited H3427 as towns without walls H6519 for the multitude H7230 of men H120 and cattle H929 therein: H8432 [5] For I, saith H5002 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. [6] Ho, H1945 ho, H1945 come forth, and flee H5127 from the land H776 of the north, H6828 saith H5002 the Lord: H3068 for H3588 I have spread you abroad H6566 as the four H702 winds H7307 of the heaven, H8064 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [7] Deliver H4422 thyself, O H1945 Zion, H6726 that dwellest H3427 with the daughter H1323 of Babylon. H894 [8] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 After H310 the glory H3519 hath he sent H7971 me unto the nations H1471 which spoiled H7997 you: for he that toucheth H5060 you toucheth H5060 the apple H892 of his eye. H5869 [9] For, behold, I will shake H5130 H853 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 them, and they shall be a spoil H7998 to their servants: H5647 and ye shall know H3045 that the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me. [10] Sing H7442 and rejoice, H8055 O daughter H1323 of Zion: H6726 for, lo, I come, H935 and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [11] And many H7227 nations H1471 shall be joined H3867 to the Lord H3068 in that day, H3117 and shall be my people: H5971 and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee, and thou shalt know H3045 that the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me unto thee. [12] And the Lord H3068 shall inherit H5157 H853 Judah H3063 his portion H2506 in the holy H6944 land, H127 and shall choose H977 Jerusalem H3389 again. [13] Be silent, H2013 O all flesh, H1320 before H6440 the Lord: H3068 for H3588 he is raised up H5782 out of his holy H6944 habitation. H4583§
