Zechariah 2

God’s Favor to Zion

11Then I raisedH5375 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 had been speakingH1696 with me was goingH3318 outH3318, and anotherH312 angelH4397 was goingH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 him. 4And he saidH559 to him, “RunH7323, speakH1696 to thatH1975 5youngH5288 manH5288 thereH1975, sayingH559, ‘6JerusalemH3389 will be inhabitedH3427 7as openH6519 countryH6519 becauseH4480 of the 8multitudeH7230 of peopleH120 and cattleH929 withinH8432 it. 5But I,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘will be a 9wallH2346 of fireH784 to her on allH5439 sidesH5439, and I will be the 10gloryH3519 in her midstH8432.’”

6“11YouH1945 thereH1945! 12FleeH5127 from the landH776 of the northH6828,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “becauseH3588 I have 13spreadH6566 you outH6566 like the fourH702 windsH7307 of the heavensH8064,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 7“14YouH1945, ZionH6726! 15EscapeH4422, you who are livingH3427 with the daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.” 8For the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: “AfterH310 16gloryH3519 He has sentH7971 me againstH413 the nationsH1471 that plunderH7997 you, for the one who touchesH5060 you, touchesH5060 the 1718appleH892 of His eyeH5869. 9For beholdH2009, I am going to 19waveH5130 My handH3027 overH5921 them so that they will be 20plunderH7998 for their slavesH5650. Then you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has sentH7971 Me. 1021ShoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 and rejoiceH8055, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; for beholdH2009 I am comingH935 and I will 22dwellH7931 in your midstH8432,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 11“And 23manyH7227 nationsH1471 will joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 and will becomeH1961 My peopleH5971. Then I will 24dwellH7931 in your midstH8432, and you will 25knowH3045 that the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has sentH7971 Me to you. 12And the LordH3068 will 2627possessH5157 JudahH3063 as His portionH2506 in the holyH6944 landH127, and will againH5750 28chooseH977 JerusalemH3389.

13“2930Be silentH2013, allH3605 31mankindH1320, beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068; for He has 32rousedH5782 Himself from His holyH6944 dwellingH4583.”
