I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line 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. |

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. |
|

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. |
|

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. |
|
12
|
And the LORD shall inherit Judah 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 habitation. |
