CHAP. II.
1 I Lift up mine eyes a∣gain, and looked, and behold, a man with a mea∣suring-l••ne in his hand.
2 Then said I, whither goest thou? and he said un∣to me, To measure Ierusa∣lem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 And behold, the angel that talked with me, went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Ierusalem shall be inhabited as towns with∣out walls for the multitude of men and cattel therein.
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you a∣broad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 Deliver thy self, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you, for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoyce, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, & I will dwel in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
