Zechariah 2:1-9

1 I lifted up mine eyes again and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
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."
3 And behold, the angel who talked with me went forth; and another angel went out to meet him
4 and said unto him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, `Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
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.'"
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.
7 "Deliver thyself, O Zion, ye that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon."
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: "After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which despoiled you, for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.
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.
