1And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
2And I say, `Whither are thou going?` And he saith unto me, `To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much its length.`
3And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
4and he saith unto him, `Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
5And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.
6Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.
7Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
