The restoring of Ierusalém and Iudáh.

1 I Lift vp mine eyes againe 〈◊〉〈◊〉 loked, and beholde, aa man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Then said I, Whether goest thou? And he said vnto me, To measure Ierusalém, that I may se what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3 And beholde, the Angel that talked with me went forthe: and another Angel went out to mete him.

4 And said vnto him, Runne, speake to thisb yong man, and say,c Ierusalem shalbe in∣habited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattel therein.

5 For I, saith the Lord, wil be vnto her a wall of fyre rounde about, and wile be the glo rie in the middes of her.

6 Ho, ho (comef forthe) and flee frō the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scat tered you into the foureg windes of the hea uen, saith the Lord.

7 h Saue thy self, ô Zion, that dwellest with the Daughter of Babél:

8 For thus saith the Lord of hostes. Afterd

(this)i glorie hathe he sent me vnto the na cions, which spoiled you: for he that tou∣cheth you, toucheth thek apple of his eye

9 For beholde, I wil lift vp mine handl vpon them: andm they shalbe a spoile to those that serued them, and ye shal knowe, that the Lord of hostes hathen sent me.

10 Reioyce, and be glad, ô daughter Zión: for lo, l come & wil dwell in the middes of thee saith the Lord.

11 And many nacions shalbe ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shal be my people: & I wil dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hathe sent me vnto thee.

12 And the Lord shal inherit Iudah his portiō in the holy land, and shal chuse Ierusalém againe.

13 Let all flesh be stil before the Lord, for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
