A Vision of a Man with a Measuring Line

2 ^[a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, ^(A)a man with a measuring line in his hand! ²Then 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.” ³And behold, ^(C)the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him ⁴and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ^(D)‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited ^(E)as villages without walls, because of ^(F)the multitude of people and livestock in it. ⁵And I will be to her ^(G)a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”

A Vision of a Flying Scroll

5 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying ^(A)scroll! ²And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying ^(B)scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”^[a] ³Then he said to me, “This is ^(C)the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who ^(D)steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who ^(E)swears falsely^[b] shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. ⁴I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of ^(F)him who swears falsely by my name. And ^(G)it shall remain in his house and ^(H)consume it, both timber and stones.”
