- Kapitel 2 -

(Ezekiel 40:1–4)
1
Next, I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2
I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
3
Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him.
4
The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, ’Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.
5
For I-this is Yahweh’s declaration-will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.

The Redemption of Zion

(Hosea 3:1–5)
6
Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north-this is Yahweh’s declaration-for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!-This is Yahweh’s declaration.
7
Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!’”
8
For after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you-for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God’s eye!-after Yahweh did this, he said,
9
“I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.
10
“Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!-this is Yahweh’s declaration.”
11
Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
12
For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
13
Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from 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!”
