Zechariah 2

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

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

2 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.

And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

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

And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,

4 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.

and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

5 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.

And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

6 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.

Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,

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

[even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8 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.

For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.

9 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.

For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

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

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

11 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.

And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

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

And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.

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

Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
