1 Then I looked up and saw a man holding a rope for measuring things.
2 I asked him, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “I am going to measure Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.”

4 He said to him, “Run and tell that young man this: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls, because there will be too many people and animals living there.’
5 The Lord says, ‘I will be a wall of fire around her, to protect her, and to bring glory to that city, I will live there.’” The Lord says,
6 “Hurry! Leave the land in the North in a hurry. Yes, it is true that I scattered your people in every direction.
