Bible. Zechariah
38:001:015 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at
ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped
forward the affliction.
38:001:016 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with
mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of
hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
38:001:017 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD
shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
38:001:018 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
38:001:019 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these?
And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
38:001:020 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
38:001:021 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying,
These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man
did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast
out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over
the land of Judah to scatter it.
38:002:001 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with
a measuring line in his hand.
38:002:002 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To
measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and
what is the length thereof.
38:002:003 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and
another angel went out to meet him,
38:002:004 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying,
Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the
multitude of men and cattle therein:
38:002:005 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round
about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
38:002:006 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith
the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of
the heaven, saith the LORD.
38:002:007 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon.
38:002:008 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent
me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth
you toucheth the apple of his eye.
38:002:009 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall
be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD
of hosts hath sent me.
38:002:010 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I
will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
38:002:011 And 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.
