^{1 5} And I lifted my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man^◦, and in his hand a measuring cord.

^{2 6} And I said, whither^▵ goest^◦ thou^◦? And he said to^▵ me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.

^{3 7} And behold, the angel who spoke with me went·​·out, and another angel went·​·out to meet him,

^{4 8} and said to^▵ him, Run, speak to^▵ the lad yonder, saying, Jerusalem shall dwell in the countryside from the multitude of man and beast in her midst.

^{5 9} And I^◦, says^◦ Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire all around, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

^{6 10} Oh, oh, flee from the land of the north, says^◦ Jehovah, for I have spread you as the four winds of the heavens, says^◦ Jehovah.

^{7 11} Oh, Zion! Deliver^◦ thyself, thou who art dwelling with the daughter of Babylon.

^{8 12} For thus says Jehovah of Armies: He has sent me after the glory, to^▵ the nations which spoiled you; for he who touches on you touches on the daughter of His eye.

^{9 13} For, behold, I will wave My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants; and you shall know that Jehovah of Armies has sent me.

^{10 14} Sing·​·aloud and be·​·glad, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will reside in the midst of thee, says^◦ Jehovah.

^{11 15} And many nations shall be joined to^▵ Jehovah in that^◦ day, and shall be My people; and I will reside in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of Armies has sent me to^▵ thee.

^{12 16} And Jehovah shall take· Judah ·for·​·an·​·inheritance, His part on the holy ground, and shall choose Jerusalem yet·​·again.

^{13 17} Keep·​·silent, O all flesh, before Jehovah; for He is stirred·​·up out·​·of His holy abode.
