Zechariah 2:6-13

6“1Ho there! 2Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have 3dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens,” declares the Lord. 7“Ho, Zion! 4Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” 8For thus says the Lord of hosts, “After 5 6glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the 7 8apple of His eye. 9For behold, I will 9wave My hand over them so that they will be 10plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me. 10 11Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will 12dwell in your midst,” declares the Lord. 11“13Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people. Then I will 14dwell in your midst, and you will 15know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12The Lord will 16 17possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again 18choose Jerusalem.

13“19 20Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord; for He is 21aroused from His holy habitation.”
