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.
