2 I said, "Where are you going?"He said to me,"To measure Jerusalem to see how wide and long it will be."
3 As I watched, the messenger speaking with me went ahead and another messenger came to meet him.
4 He said to him,"Run! Say to this young man:Jerusalem will be inhabited like open fieldsbecause of the throngs of people and cattle inside it.
5 But I will be a wall of fire around it, says the Lord, and I will be glorious inside it.
6 Look out; look out! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord, for I will scatter you like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
7 Look out, Zion.Flee, you who dwell with Daughter Babylon!
8 The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims (after his glory sent me)concerning the nations plundering you:Those who strike you strike the pupil of my eye.
