Book 25 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - ZECHARIAH - Chapter 002
02:001
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns
02:002
And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are
these?' And he said unto me: 'These are the horns which have scattered Judah,
Israel, and Jerusalem.
02:003
And HaShem showed me four craftsmen
02:004
Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, saying:
'These--the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his
head--these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the
nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
02:005
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a
measuring line in his hand
02:006
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.
02:007
And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and
another angel went out to meet him
02:008
and said unto him: 'Run, speak to this young man, saying:
'Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and cattle
therein
02:009
For I, saith HaShem, will be unto her a wall of fire round
about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her
02:010
Ho, ho, flee then from the land of the north, saith HaShem;
for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith HaShem
02:011
Ho, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon.
02:012
For thus saith HaShem of hosts who sent me after glory
unto the nations which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the
apple of his eye
02:013
For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they
shall be a spoil to those that served them'; and ye shall know that HaShem of
hosts hath sent me
02:014
'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come,
and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith HaShem
02:015
And many nations shall join themselves to HaShem in that
day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee'; and thou
shalt know that HaShem of hosts hath sent me unto thee
02:016
And HaShem shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy
land, and shall choose Jerusalem again
02:017
Be silent, all flesh, before HaShem; for He is aroused out
of His holy habitation
