Zechariah 2

English MEV 2014 (Modern English Version)

← Chapter 1 Jump to: Chapter 3 →

1And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw a man with a measuring cord in his hand.

2And I said, “Where are you going?” And he responded, “To measure Jerusalem and to note what is its width and length.”

3Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and then another angel came out to meet him,

4and said to him, “Run, say to this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and animals in her.

5And I will be like a wall of fire all around her, says the Lord, and I will be as glory in her midst.”

6Up, up, flee from the northern land, says the Lord, for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.

7Deliver yourself, O Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon.

8For thus says the Lord of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.

9For I will swing My hand against them, and they will become plunder for their servants. Then you will know well that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me.

10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for I am coming and will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.

11And many nations will join themselves with the Lord in that day, and they will be My people. And I will reside in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to you.

12And the Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and He will again choose Jerusalem.

13Be still, all flesh before the Lord, for He is stirred from His holy habitation.
