2:1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
2:2 And I said to him, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure
Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
2:3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel
went forth to meet him,
2:4 and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying,
Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and
cattle in the midst of her.
2:5 And I will be to her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I
will be for a glory in the midst of her.
2:6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I will
gather you from the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord,
2:7 [even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, ye that dwell [with] the daughter of
Babylon.
2:8 For thus saith the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the
nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the
apple of his eye.
2:9 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to
them that serve them: and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
2:10 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will
dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
2:11 And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and
they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of
thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.
2:12 And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he
will yet choose Jerusalem.
2:13 Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy
clouds. |
2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked,
and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure
Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length
thereof.
2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel
went out to meet him,
2:4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall
be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle
therein:
2:5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and
will be the glory in the midst of her.
2:6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD:
for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the
LORD.
2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto
the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple
of his eye.
2:9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil
to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell
in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be
my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that
the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and
shall choose Jerusalem again.
2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his
holy habitation. |
