< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, 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 And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
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 angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,
And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete 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;
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 and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and 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, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith 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! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth 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 upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath 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 aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith 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 unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto 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 Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
