Zechariah 2:4
2 “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”
3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him
and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.
5 For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
6 “Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
