Zechariah 2

1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Then I said, Where do thou go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem. To see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3 And, behold, the agent who talked with me went forth. And another agent went out to meet him,

And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,

4 and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.

5 For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.

6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Jehovah.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.

7 Ho Zion, escape, thou who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.

8 For thus says Jehovah of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me.

For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.

10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says Jehovah.

Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.

11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to thee.

And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.

12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.

13 Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.

Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
