1. Then I looked up and saw a man.In his hand was a measuring line.
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.
