# Zechariah 2

[1](#verse-1) I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

[2](#verse-2) Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

[3](#verse-3) Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

[4](#verse-4) and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

[5](#verse-5) For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

[6](#verse-6) Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.

[7](#verse-7) ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

[8](#verse-8) For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

[9](#verse-9) For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.

[10](#verse-10) Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.

[11](#verse-11) Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.

[12](#verse-12) The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

[13](#verse-13) Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
