- I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
- 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.
- And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
- 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:
- 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.

- Then I looked up--and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand!
- I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is."
- Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel came to meet him
- and said to him: "Run, tell that young man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it.
- And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be its glory within.'
