1I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2Then said I, Where go you? He said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
3Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
5For I, says Yahweh, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Yahweh; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky, says Yahweh.
7Ho Zion, escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
