Zechariah 2:1-5

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Third Vision: Surveyor

2 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. ² I asked, ‘Where are you going? ’

He answered me, ‘To measure Jerusalem to determine its width and length.’

³ Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him. ⁴ He said to him, ‘Run and tell this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the number of people and animals in it.’^{(A) 5} The declaration of the Lord: ‘I myself will be a wall^(B) of fire round it, and I will be the glory within it.’
