Zechariah 2:4-13

4and said to him, “Run, speak to that 1young man, saying, ‘2Jerusalem will be inhabited 3 4without walls because of the 5multitude of men and cattle within it. 5For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a 6wall of fire 7around her, and I will be the 8glory in her midst.’”

6“9Ho there! 10Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have 11dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens,” declares the Lord. 7“Ho, Zion! 12Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” 8For thus says the Lord of hosts, “After 13 14glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the 15 16apple of His eye. 9For behold, I will 17wave My hand over them so that they will be 18plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me. 10 19Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will 20dwell in your midst,” declares the Lord. 11“21Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people. Then I will 22dwell in your midst, and you will 23know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12The Lord will 24 25possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again 26choose Jerusalem.

13“27 28Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord; for He is 29aroused from His holy habitation.”
