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!”

Zechariah 2 (KJVS)

[1] I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
[2] Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
[3] And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
[4] and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
[5] For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
[6] Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
[7] Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
[8] For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
[9] For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
[10] Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
[11] And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
[12] And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
[13] Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
