Zechariah 2:7-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with daughter Babylon. ⁸ For thus said the Lord of hosts after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you: Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.^{[a](A) 9} For I am going to raise^[b] my hand against them, and they shall become plunder for their own slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.^{(B) 10} Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! For I will come and dwell in your midst, says the Lord.^{(C) 11} Many nations shall join themselves to the Lord on that day and shall be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. ¹² The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.^(D)

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.^(E)
