Zechariah 2

The Third Vision: A Man With a Measuring Line

1Then I looked up, and I saw a man there with a measuring line in his hand.[#2:1 English verses 2:1–13 are verses 2:5–17 in Hebrew.]

2I asked him, “Where are you going?”

He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and its length.”

3At that moment, when the angel who was speaking with me was about to leave, another angel came to meet him and

4said, “Run and tell this young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited as a city without walls because of the large number of people and livestock in it.

5For I myself will be a wall of fire around it, declares the Lord , and I will be the glory within it.”
