Zechariah 2

1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.

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

2 Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.

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 spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;

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

4 And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.

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 But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be 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 Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.

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 Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

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

8 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever 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 swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord 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, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

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 will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord 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 the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.

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

13 Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.

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