Zechariah 2:1-13 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹[11]Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.

²So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is.”

³And behold, the angel who had been speaking with me was going out, and another angel was going out to meet him.

⁴And he said to him, “Run, speak to that young man there, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as open country because of the multitude of people and cattle within it.

⁵But I,’ declares the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire to her on all sides, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”

⁶“[12]You there! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “because I have spread you out like the four winds of the heavens,” declares the LORD.

⁷“[13]You, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.”

⁸For the LORD of armies says this: “After glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the [14]apple of His eye.

⁹For behold, I am going to wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of armies has sent Me.

¹⁰Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares the LORD.

¹¹“And many nations will join themselves to the LORD on that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of armies has sent Me to you.

¹²And the LORD will [15]possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

¹³“[16]Be silent, all [17]mankind, before the LORD; for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
