1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
2 And I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be."
3 And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 And he said to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
5 And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
6 O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
