Zec 2:1Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Zec 2:2I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”

Zec 2:3While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him

Zec 2:4and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it.

Zec 2:5

Zec 2:5And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will be its glory within.’

Zec 2:6

Zec 2:9
