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 eyes my and I saw and there! a man and [was] in hand his a cord of measurement.

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 where? [are] you going and he said to me to measure Jerusalem to see how much? [is] breadth its and how much? [is] length its.

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

And there! the angel who was speaking with me [was] going out and an angel another [was] going out 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 he said (to him *Q(k)*) run speak to the young man this saying open regions it will remain Jerusalem from [the] multitude of person[s] and livestock in [the] midst of it.

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 I will be to it [the] utterance of Yahweh a wall of fire all around and glory I will become in [the] middle of it.

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.

Alas! alas! flee from [the] land of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh that like [the] four [the] winds of the heavens I have scattered you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

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

Alas! O Zion escape O inhabitant[s] of [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 he says Yahweh of hosts after honor he has sent me to the nations who plundered you for the [one who] touches you [is] touching [the] pupil of eye his.

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 here I [am] about to brandish hand my on them and they will be plunder for own slaves their and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he 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.

Shout for joy and rejoice O daughter of Zion for here I [am] about to come and I will dwell in midst of you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

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 they will join themselves nations many to Yahweh in the day that and they will become for me a people and I will dwell in midst of you and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you.

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

And he will inherit Yahweh Judah portion his on [the] land of holiness and he will choose again Jerusalem.

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

Hush! O all flesh from before Yahweh for he has roused himself from [the] dwelling place of holiness his.
