Zechariah 2:4-9
New American Standard Bible
4 And he said to him, “Run, speak to that (A)young man there, saying, ‘(B)Jerusalem will be inhabited (C)as open country because of the (D)multitude of people and cattle within it. 5 But I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a (E)wall of fire to her on all sides, and I will be the (F)glory in her midst.’”
6 “[a]You there! (G)Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “because I have (H)spread you out like the four winds of the heavens,” declares the Lord. 7 “[b]You, Zion! (I)Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” 8 For the Lord of armies says this: “After (J)glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the [c](K)apple of His eye. 9 For behold, I am going to (L)wave My hand over them so that they will be (M)plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me.

4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls(A) because of the great number(B) of people and animals in it.(C) 5 And I myself will be a wall(D) of fire(E) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory(F) within.’(G)

7 “Come, Zion! Escape,(K) you who live in Daughter Babylon!”(L) 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(M)— 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[a](N) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.(O)
