^{1 Ref} And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

^{2 Ref} And I say, `Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, `To measure Jerusalem, to see how much `is' its breadth, and how much its length.'

^{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.

^{7 Ref} Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling `with' the daughter of Babylon.

^{8 Ref} For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

^{9 Ref} For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me.

^{10 Ref} Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.

^{11 Ref} And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.

^{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!'

^{1 Ref} And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.

^{2 Ref} And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.

^{3 Ref} And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.

^{4 Ref} Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.

^{5 Ref} And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

^{6 Ref} And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

^{7 Ref} And the angel who was talking to me went out, and another angel went out, and, meeting him,

^{8 Ref} Said to him, Go quickly and say to this young man, Jerusalem will be an unwalled town, because of the great number of men and cattle in her.

^{9 Ref} For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire round about her, and I will be the glory inside her.

^{10 Ref} Ho, ho! go in flight from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I have sent you far and wide to the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.

^{11 Ref} Ho! Zion, go in flight from danger, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.

^{12 Ref} For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In the way of glory he has sent me to the nations which have taken your goods: for anyone touching you is touching what is most dear to him.

^{13 Ref} For at the shaking of my hand over them, their goods will be taken by those who were their servants: and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me.

¹⁴ Give songs of joy, O daughter of Zion: for I come, and I will make my resting-place among you, says the Lord.

¹⁵ And a number of nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and will become my people; and I will be living among you, and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

¹⁶ And Judah will be the Lord's heritage in the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his.

¹⁷ Let all flesh be quiet and make no sound before the Lord: for he is awake and has come from his holy resting-place.

^{1 Ref} I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

^{2 Ref} Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."

^{3 Ref} Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

^{4 Ref} and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it.

^{5 Ref} For I,' says Yahweh, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

^{6 Ref} Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,' says Yahweh; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says Yahweh.

^{7 Ref} 'Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'

^{8 Ref} For thus says Yahweh of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

^{9 Ref} For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Hosts has sent me.

^{10 Ref} Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says Yahweh.

^{11 Ref} Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Hosts has sent me to you.

^{12 Ref} Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

^{13 Ref} Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!"
