Zechariah 2:3

1 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

4 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.’”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
