Zechariah 2

God’s Favor to Zion

11Then I liftedH5375 up my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, there was a manH376 with a 2measuringH4060 lineH2256 in his handH3027. 2So I saidH559, “WhereH575 are you goingH1980?” And he saidH559 to me, “To 3measureH4058 JerusalemH3389, to seeH7200 howH4100 wideH7341 it is and howH4100 longH753 it is.” 3And beholdH2009, the 4angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me was goingH3318 out, and anotherH312 angelH4397 was comingH3318 out to meetH7122 him, 4and saidH559 to him, “RunH7323, speakH1696 to that 5youngH5288 manH5288, sayingH559, ‘6JerusalemH3389 will be inhabitedH3427 78withoutH6519 wallsH6519 becauseH4480 of the 9multitudeH7230 of menH120 and cattleH929 withinH8432 it. 5For I,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘will be a 10wallH2346 of fireH784 11aroundH5439 her, and I will be the 12gloryH3519 in her midstH8432.’”

6“13HoH1945 thereH1945! 14FleeH5127 from the landH776 of the northH6828,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “for I have 15dispersedH6566 you as the fourH702 windsH7307 of the heavensH8064,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 7“HoH1945, ZionH6726! 16EscapeH4422, you who are livingH3427 with the daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.” 8For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “AfterH310 1718gloryH3519 He has sentH7971 me againstH413 the nationsH1471 which plunderH7997 you, for he who touchesH5060 you, touchesH5060 the 1920appleH892 of His eyeH5869. 9For beholdH2009, I will 21waveH5130 My handH3027 overH5921 them so that they will be 22plunderH7998 for their slavesH5647. Then you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has sentH7971 Me. 1023SingH7442 for joyH7442 and be gladH8055, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; for beholdH2009 I am comingH935 and I will 24dwellH7931 in your midstH8432,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 11“25ManyH7227 nationsH1471 will joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068 in that dayH3117 and will becomeH1961 My peopleH5971. Then I will 26dwellH7931 in your midstH8432, and you will 27knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has sentH7971 Me to you. 12The LordH3068 will 2829possessH5157 JudahH3063 as His portionH2506 in the holyH6944 landH127, and will againH5750 30chooseH977 JerusalemH3389.

13“3132Be silentH2013, allH3605 fleshH1320, beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068; for He is 33arousedH5782 from His holyH6944 habitationH4583.”
