1. Then I looked up and saw a man holding a rope for measuring things.
|
1. I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 again , and looked H7200 , and behold H2009 a man H376 with a measuring H4060 line H2256 in his hand H3027 .
|
|
2. I asked him, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "I am going to measure Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is."
|
2. Then said H559 I, Whither H575 goest H1980 thou H859 ? And he said H559 unto H413 me , To measure H4058 H853 Jerusalem H3389 , to see H7200 what H4100 is the breadth H7341 thereof , and what H4100 is the length H753 thereof.
|
|
3. Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel went out to talk to him.
|
3. And, behold H2009 , the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me went forth H3318 , and another H312 angel H4397 went out H3318 to meet H7125 him,
|
|
4. He said to him, "Run and tell that young man this: 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls, because there will be too many people and animals living there.'
|
4. And said H559 unto H413 him, Run H7323 , speak H1696 to H413 this H1975 young man H5288 , saying H559 , Jerusalem H3389 shall be inhabited H3427 as towns without walls H6519 for the multitude H4480 H7230 of men H120 and cattle H929 therein H8432 :
|
|
5. The Lord says, 'I will be a wall of fire around her, to protect her, and to bring glory to that city, I will live there.'" The Lord says,
|
5. For I H589 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , will be H1961 unto her a wall H2346 of fire H784 round about H5439 , and will be H1961 the glory H3519 in the midst H8432 of her.

6. "Hurry! Leave the land in the North in a hurry. Yes, it is true that I scattered your people in every direction.
|
6. Ho H1945 , ho H1945 , come forth , and flee H5127 from the land H4480 H776 of the north H6828 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I have spread you abroad H6566 H853 as the four H702 winds H7307 of the heaven H8064 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. You people from Zion now live in Babylon. Escape! Run away from that city!"
|
7. Deliver thyself H4422 , O H1945 Zion H6726 , that dwellest H3427 with the daughter H1323 of Babylon H894 .
|
|
8. The Lord sent me to the nations that took away your wealth. He sent me to bring you honor. And this is what the Lord All-Powerful said: "If anyone even touches you, it is as if they did it to the pupil of my eye.
|
8. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; After H310 the glory H3519 hath he sent H7971 me unto H413 the nations H1471 which spoiled H7997 you: for H3588 he that toucheth H5060 you toucheth H5060 the apple H892 of his eye H5869 .
|
|
9. I will punish them, and you, their slaves, will take all their wealth." When this happens, then you will know that the Lord All-Powerful sent me.
|
9. For H3588 , behold H2009 , I will shake H5130 H853 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 them , and they shall be H1961 a spoil H7998 to their servants H5650 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me.
|
|
10. The Lord says, "Zion, be happy, because I am coming, and I will live in your city.
|
10. Sing H7442 and rejoice H8055 , O daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 : for H3588 , lo H2009 , I come H935 , and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
11. At that time people from many nations will come to me. They will become my people, and I will live in your city." Then you will know that the Lord All-Powerful sent me.
|
11. And many H7227 nations H1471 shall be joined H3867 to H413 the LORD H3068 in that H1931 day H3117 , and shall be H1961 my people H5971 : and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee , and thou shalt know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me unto H413 thee.
|
|
12. The Lord will again choose Jerusalem to be his special city. Judah will be his share of the holy land.
|
12. And the LORD H3068 shall inherit H5157 H853 Judah H3063 his portion H2506 in H5921 the holy H6944 land H127 , and shall choose H977 Jerusalem H3389 again H5750 .
|
|
13. Everyone, be quiet! The Lord is coming out of his holy house.
|
13. Be silent H2013 , O all H3605 flesh H1320 , before H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 he is raised up H5782 out of his holy H6944 habitation H4480 H4583 .
