Zechariah

Zechariah 2:7–9

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.”
