| 1 | I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. |
| 2 | Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth, and what is its length. |
| 3 | And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, |
| 4 | And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it. |
| 5 | For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her. |
| 6 | Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. |
| 7 | Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. |
| 8 | For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted 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 be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. |
| 10 | Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. |
| 11 | And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee. |
| 12 | And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. |
| 13 | Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. |
