1. And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2. And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3. And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,
4. and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein;
5. and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6. Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.
