1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw a man with a measuring cord in his hand.
2 And I said, “Where are you going?”And he responded, “To measure Jerusalem and to note what is its width and length.”
3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and then another angel came out to meet him,
4 and said to him, “Run, say to this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and animals in her.
5 And I will be like a wall of fire all around her, says the Lord, and I will be as glory in her midst.”
6 Up, up, flee from the northern land, says the Lord, for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
7 Deliver yourself, O Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon.
