[1] And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line. [2] And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.” [3] And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him, [4] and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, || Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, || From the abundance of man and beast in her midst. [5] And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, || And I am for glory in her midst. [6] Behold, and flee from the land of the north, || A declaration of YHWH, || For as the four winds of the heavens, || I have spread you abroad, || A declaration of YHWH. [7] Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon. [8] For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, || For he who is coming against you, || Is coming against the pupil of His eye. [9] For behold, I am waving My hand against them, || And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me. [10] Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, || For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, || A declaration of YHWH. [11] And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, || And they have been to Me for a people, || And I have dwelt in your midst, || And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you. [12] And YHWH has inherited Judah, || His portion on the holy ground, || And He has fixed again on Jerusalem. [13] Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, || For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
