^{3 Ref} And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

^{4 Ref} and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

^{13 Ref} Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.

^{3 Ref} And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

^{4 Ref} and he saith unto him, `Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

^{5 Ref} And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.

^{6 Ref} Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.

^{12 Ref} And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

^{13 Ref} Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'
