Vision of the Measuring Line
2 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, (A)a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 So I said, “Where are you going?”
And he said to me, (B)“To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 who said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: (C)‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. 5 For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be (D)a wall of fire all around her, (E)and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”
Future Joy of Zion and Many Nations
6 “Up, up! Flee (F)from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have (G)spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. 7 “Up, Zion! (H)Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who (I)touches you touches the [a]apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will (J)shake My hand against them, and they shall become [b]spoil for their servants. Then (K)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.
10 (L)“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I (M)will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 (N)“Many nations shall be joined to the Lord (O)in that day, and they shall become (P)My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then (Q)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will (R)take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 (S)Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused (T)from His holy habitation!”

A Man With a Measuring Line
2 [a]Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?”
He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”(A)
3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls(B) because of the great number(C) of people and animals in it.(D) 5 And I myself will be a wall(E) of fire(F) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory(G) within.’(H)
6 “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered(I) you to the four winds of heaven,”(J) declares the Lord.(K)
7 “Come, Zion! Escape,(L) you who live in Daughter Babylon!”(M) 8 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye(N)— 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[b](O) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.(P)
10 “Shout(Q) and be glad, Daughter Zion.(R) For I am coming,(S) and I will live among you,”(T) declares the Lord.(U) 11 “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.(V) I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.(W) 12 The Lord will inherit(X) Judah(Y) as his portion in the holy land and will again choose(Z) Jerusalem. 13 Be still(AA) before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.(AB)”

Mannen med mätsnöret
2 Och jag lyfte upp ögonen och såg, och se, där var en man med ett mätsnöre i handen. 2 Då frågade jag: "Vart går du?" Han svarade: "Att mäta Jerusalem för att se hur brett och långt det skall bli." 3 Och se, ängeln som talade med mig kom fram, och en annan ängel kom emot honom. 4 Han sade till denne: "Skynda i väg och säg till den unge mannen: Jerusalem skall ligga som en obefäst plats, på grund av den stora mängd människor och djur som finns därinne. 5 Och jag själv, säger Herren, skall vara en mur av eld omkring staden, och jag skall vara härligheten därinne."
Den nya tiden för Israel och hednafolken
6 Upp, upp! Fly från landet i norr, säger Herren, ty som himlens fyra vindar har jag skingrat er, säger Herren. 7 Upp, Sion! Rädda dig, du som bor hos Babels dotter. 8 Ty så säger Herren Sebaot, han som för sin härlighets skull[a] har sänt mig till hednafolken som har plundrat er: "Den som rör vid er, rör vid hans ögonsten. 9 Se, jag lyfter min hand mot dem, och de skall bli ett byte för sina slavar." Ni skall då förstå att Herren Sebaot har sänt mig.
10 Jubla och gläd dig, du Sions dotter, ty se, jag kommer och jag skall bo i dig, säger Herren. 11 Många hednafolk skall på den dagen sluta sig till Herren och bli mitt folk, och jag skall bo i dig. Du skall förstå att Herren Sebaot har sänt mig till dig. 12 Herren skall äga Juda som sin del i det heliga landet, och än en gång skall han utvälja Jerusalem.
13 Var stilla inför Herren, allt kött, ty han har trätt fram ur sin heliga boning.
