Chapter 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.
2 And I said: Whither go you? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.
3 And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.
5 And I will be to it, said the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.
6 O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, said the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, said the Lord.
7 O Sion, flee, you that dwell with the daughter of Babylon:
8 For thus said the Lord of hosts: After the glory he has sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that touches you, touches the apple of my eye:
9 For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.
10 Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you: said the Lord.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
12 And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.
13 Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his .holy habitation.
