New International Version NIV
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
15
The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
16
The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
17
The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.
