Zechariah 2:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ “Hurry! Leave the land in the North in a hurry.
    Yes, it is true that I scattered your people in every direction.
⁷ You people from Zion now live in Babylon.
    Escape! Run away from that city!”
⁸ The Lord sent me to the nations that took away your wealth.
    He sent me to bring you honor.
    And this is what the Lord All-Powerful said:
“If anyone even touches you,
    it is as if they did it to the pupil of my eye.
