Chapter 2
The vision about Jerusalem that God gave to Zechariah
1Then I looked up and I saw a man in front of me. He had a line in his hand. The line was to measure something. 2I asked the man, ‘Where are you going?’ He said to me, ‘I am going to measure Jerusalem. I want to see how wide and how long it is.’ 3The angel that talked with me went away. Another angel came to meet him. 4The second angel said to the first angel, ‘Run to that young man with the line in his hand. Say that Jerusalem will be a city without walls. This is because of the many people and many animals that will live in it. 5The Lord himself promises that he will be like a wall of fire round Jerusalem. He will shine as a beautiful light inside the city.’
The Lord will be among his people
6‘Come! Come! Run away from the country in the north,’ says the Lord. ‘As the four winds blow in different directions, I sent you to many far countries.
7Come, my people. Run away from Babylon and return to Jerusalem.’ 8Return because the Lord says, ‘Anyone that attacks you is attacking the Lord's people. He is attacking the people that the Lord loves.’ So the Lord Almighty sent me, Zechariah, with this message about the countries that have robbed his people. 9‘The Lord himself will fight against your enemies and their own slaves will rob them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me, Zechariah, to you.’
10‘Sing and be happy, you people in Jerusalem. This is because I will come. And I will live among you,’ says the Lord. 11‘On that day, the people from many countries will come to me, the Lord, and they will become my people. I will live among you. You will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. 12The Lord will choose Judah for himself again. Jerusalem will be the city that he loves most of all cities. 13Be quiet, all people, because the Lord has left his home in heaven to come among you.’
