Zechariah

 1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring ^aline in his hand.

 2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

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

 4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be ^ainhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

 5 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of ^afire round about, and will be the ^bglory in the midst of her.

 6 ¶Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the ^anorth, saith the Lord: for I have ^bspread you abroad as the ^cfour winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.

 7 ^aDeliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

 8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.

 10 ¶Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will ^adwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

 11 And many ^anations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the ^bmidst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

 12 And the Lord shall inherit ^aJudah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

 13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy ^ahabitation.
