Zechariah:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I raised my eyes and looked ,
and behold ,
a man with a measuring line in his hand .
*
So I said , "
Where are you going ?"
And he said to me , "
To measure Jerusalem ,
to see what is its width and what is its length ."
*
And there was the angel who talked with me ,
going out ;
and another angel was coming out to meet him ,
*
who said to him , "
Run ,
speak to this young man ,
saying : "
Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls ,
because of the multitude of men and livestock in it .
*
For I ,'
says the LORD , "
will be a wall of fire all around her ,
and I will be the glory in her midst ."'
* "
Up ,
up !
Flee from the land of the north ,"
says the LORD ; "
for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven ,"
says the LORD .
* "
Up ,
Zion !
Escape ,
you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon ."
*
For thus says the LORD of hosts : "
He sent Me after glory ,
to the nations which plunder you ;
for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye .
*
For surely I will shake My hand against them ,
and they shall become spoil for their servants .
Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me .
* "
Sing and rejoice ,
O daughter of Zion !
For behold ,
I am coming and I will dwell in your midst ,"
says the LORD .
* "
Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day ,
and they shall become My people .
And I will dwell in your midst .
Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you .
*
And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land ,
and will again choose Jerusalem .
*
Be silent ,
all flesh ,
before the LORD ,
for He is aroused from His holy habitation !"
