(Ezekiel 40:1–4)
1
I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2
Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3
And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,
4
And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.
5
For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.

The Redemption of Zion

(Hosea 3:1–5)
6
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.
7
Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
8
For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
9
For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.
10
Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.
11
And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.
12
And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.
13
Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
(Ezekiel 40:1–4)
1
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2
Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
3
Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4
and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
5
For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

The Redemption of Zion

(Hosea 3:1–5)
6
Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.
7
Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
8
For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9
For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.
10
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
11
Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
12
The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
