2Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3And behold, the Angel that talked with me, went forth, and another Angel went out to meet him,
4And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, and say, Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, for the multitude of men and cattle therein.

8For thus saith the Lord of hosts, After this glory hath he sent me unto the nations, which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
9For behold, I will lift up mine hand upon them: and they shall be a spoil to those that served them, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10Rejoice and be glad, O daughter Zion: for lo, I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy place.
