Zechariah

Zechariah 2:6–13

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. ⁷“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

⁸For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me^a against the nations that have plundered you — for whoever touches you touches the apple^b of His eye — ⁹I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”

¹⁰“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD. ¹¹“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. ¹²And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem. ¹³Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
