1. I raised my eyes and looked; there were four horns.
|
1. I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 again , and looked H7200 , and behold H2009 a man H376 with a measuring H4060 line H2256 in his hand H3027 .
|
|
2. Then I asked the angel who spoke with me what these were. He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah and Israeland Jerusalem."
|
2. Then said H559 I, Whither H575 goest H1980 thou H859 ? And he said H559 unto H413 me , To measure H4058 H853 Jerusalem H3389 , to see H7200 what H4100 is the breadth H7341 thereof , and what H4100 is the length H753 thereof.
|
|
3. Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths. And I asked, "What are these coming to do?"
|
3. And, behold H2009 , the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me went forth H3318 , and another H312 angel H4397 went out H3318 to meet H7125 him,
|
|
4. And he said, "Here are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head any more; but these have come to terrify them: to cast down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."
|
4. And said H559 unto H413 him, Run H7323 , speak H1696 to H413 this H1975 young man H5288 , saying H559 , Jerusalem H3389 shall be inhabited H3427 as towns without walls H6519 for the multitude H4480 H7230 of men H120 and cattle H929 therein H8432 :
|
|
5. Again I raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.
|
5. For I H589 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , will be H1961 unto her a wall H2346 of fire H784 round about H5439 , and will be H1961 the glory H3519 in the midst H8432 of her.
|
|
6. "Where are you going?" I asked. "To measure Jerusalem," he answered; "to see how great is its width and how great its length."
|
6. Ho H1945 , ho H1945 , come forth , and flee H5127 from the land H4480 H776 of the north H6828 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I have spread you abroad H6566 H853 as the four H702 winds H7307 of the heaven H8064 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him,
|
7. Deliver thyself H4422 , O H1945 Zion H6726 , that dwellest H3427 with the daughter H1323 of Babylon H894 .
|
|
8. and said to him, "Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst.
|
8. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; After H310 the glory H3519 hath he sent H7971 me unto H413 the nations H1471 which spoiled H7997 you: for H3588 he that toucheth H5060 you toucheth H5060 the apple H892 of his eye H5869 .
|
|
9. But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst."
|
9. For H3588 , behold H2009 , I will shake H5130 H853 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 them , and they shall be H1961 a spoil H7998 to their servants H5650 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me.
|
|
10. Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I scatter you to the four winds of heaven, says the LORD.
|
10. Sing H7442 and rejoice H8055 , O daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 : for H3588 , lo H2009 , I come H935 , and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
11. Up, escape to Zion! you who dwell in daughter Babylon.
|
11. And many H7227 nations H1471 shall be joined H3867 to H413 the LORD H3068 in that H1931 day H3117 , and shall be H1961 my people H5971 : and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of thee , and thou shalt know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me unto H413 thee.
|
|
12. For thus said the LORD of hosts (after he had already sent me) concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
|
12. And the LORD H3068 shall inherit H5157 H853 Judah H3063 his portion H2506 in H5921 the holy H6944 land H127 , and shall choose H977 Jerusalem H3389 again H5750 .
|
|
13. See, I wave my hand over them; they become plunder for their slaves. Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
|
13. Be silent H2013 , O all H3605 flesh H1320 , before H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 he is raised up H5782 out of his holy H6944 habitation H4480 H4583 .
|
|
14. Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.
|
14.
|
|
15. Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
|
15.
|
|
16. The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.
|
16.
|
|
17. Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his holy dwelling.
