Noyes - Zechariah - 2

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 to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

2:3  And behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went forth to meet him,

2:4  and said to him, Run, speak to that young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls On account of the multitude of men and of cattle within her.

2:5  And I will be to her, saith Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And glory will I be within her.

2:6  Ho! ho! flee ye out of the land of the North, saith Jehovah; For toward the four winds of heaven have I scattered you abroad, saith Jehovah.

2:7  Ho, Zion, escape, Thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon!

2:8  For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: For glory hath he sent me to the nations which plundered you; (For he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.)

2:9  For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, And they shall be a spoil to those that served them; And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

2:10  Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For, behold, I will come, And I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah;

2:11  And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, And shall be my people; And I will dwell in the midst of thee; And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to thee.

2:12  And Jehovah will possess Judah as his portion in the holy land, And will again choose Jerusalem.

2:13  Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah! For he riseth up from his holy habitation.
