| Chapter 2 |
1 |
\1:18\Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. |
2 |
\1:19\And I said to the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. |
3 |
\1:20\And the LORD showed me four carpenters. |
4 |
\1:21\Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head: but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. |
5 |
\2:1\I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. |
6 |
\2:2\Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth, and what is its length. |
7 |
\2:3\And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, |
8 |
\2:4\And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it. |
9 |
\2:5\For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her. |
10 |
\2:6\Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. |
11 |
\2:7\Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. |
12 |
\2:8\For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye. |
13 |
\2:9\For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. |
14 |
\2:10\Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. |
15 |
\2:11\And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee. |
16 |
\2:12\And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. |
17 |
\2:13\Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. |
