Видение за земемерна връв

(A)След това повдигнах очите си и видях, и, ето, човек с връв за мерене в ръката му.

(B)Тогава казах: Къде отиваш? А той ми отвърна: Да измеря Йерусалим, за да видя каква е широчината му и каква е дължината му.

И ето, ангелът, който говореше с мен, излезе; и друг ангел излезе да го посрещне и му каза:

(C)Тичай, говорѝ на този юноша: Йерусалим ще бъде населен без стени поради многото хора и добитък в него;

(D)защото Аз, казва Господ, ще бъда огнена стена около него и ще бъда славата сред него.

(E)О! О! Бягайте от северната земя, казва Господ; защото ще ви разширя към четирите небесни ветрища, казва Господ.

(F)О! Отърви се, сионова дъще, която живееш с вавилонската дъщеря.

(G)Защото така казва Господ на Силите: След възстановяването на славата Той ме изпрати при народите, които ви ограбиха; понеже който засяга вас, засяга зеницата на окото Му.

(H)Защото аз ще помахам с ръката си върху тях и те ще станат плячка на онези, които са им работили; и ще познаете, че Господ на Силите ме е изпратил.

10 (I)Пей и се радвай, Сионова дъще; защото Аз ида и ще обитавам сред тебе, казва Господ.

11 (J)И в онзи ден много народи ще се прилепят към Господа и ще бъдат Мой народ, и Аз ще обитавам сред теб, и ще познаеш, че Господ на Силите ме е изпратил при теб.

12 (K)И Господ ще наследи Юда за Свой дял в святата земя и пак ще избере Йерусалим.

13 (L)Всяка твар да замълчи пред Господа; защото Той се е събудил от святото Си обиталище.

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

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.

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

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

For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

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.

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 dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

11 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.

Vision of the Measuring Line

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, (A)a man with a measuring line in his hand. 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.”

And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, 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. 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

“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. “Up, Zion! (H)Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

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. 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!”
