Dual Panel1I looked <05375> again, and there was a man <0376> with a measuring <04060> line <02256> in his hand <03027>.
2I asked <0559>, “Where <0575> are you <0859> going <01980>?” He replied <0559>, “To <0413> measure <04058> Jerusalem <03389> in order to determine <07200> its width <07341> and its length <0753>.”
3At this point the angelic messenger <04397> who spoke <01696> to me went out <03318>, and another <0312> messenger <04397> came <03318> to meet <07125> him
4and said <0559> to <0413> him, “Hurry <07323>, speak <01696> to <0413> this <01975> young man <05288> as follows <0559>: ‘Jerusalem <03389> will no longer <06519> be enclosed <03427> by walls <06519> because of the multitude <07230> of people <0120> and animals <0929> there <08432>.
5But I <0589> (the Lord <03069> says <05002>) will be <01961> a wall <02346> of fire <0784> surrounding <05439> Jerusalem and the source of glory <03519> in her midst <08432>.’”
6“You there! Flee <05127> from the northland <06828> <0776>!” says <05002> the Lord <03068>, “for <03588> like the four <0702> winds <07307> of heaven <08064> I have scattered <06566> you,” says <05002> the Lord <03068>.
7“Escape <04422>, Zion <06726>, you who live <03427> among the Babylonians <0894>!”
8For <03588> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> says <0559> to me that for his own glory <03519> he has sent <07971> me to <0413> the nations <01471> that plundered <07997> you– for <03588> anyone who touches <05060> you touches <05060> the pupil <0892> of his eye <05869>.
9“I am about to punish <05130> them in such a way,” he says, “that they will be <01961> looted <07998> by their own slaves <05650>.” Then you will know <03045> that <03588> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> has sent <07971> me.
10“Sing <07442> out and be happy <08055>, Zion <06726> my daughter <01323>! For <03588> look <02005>, I have come <0935>; I will settle <07931> in your midst <08432>,” says <05002> the Lord <03068>.
11“Many <07227> nations <01471> will join <03867> themselves to <0413> the Lord <03068> on the day <03117> of salvation, and they <01931> will also be <01961> my people <05971>. Indeed, I will settle <07931> in the midst <08432> of you all.” Then you will know <03045> that <03588> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> has sent <07971> me to <0413> you.
12The Lord <03068> will take possession <05157> of Judah <03063> as his portion <02506> in <05921> the holy <06944> land <0127> and he will choose <0977> Jerusalem <03389> once again <05750>.
13Be silent <02013> in the Lord’s <03068> presence <06440>, all <03605> people <01320> everywhere, for <03588> he is being moved to action <05782> in his holy <06944> dwelling place <04583>.
