| 1 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 2 So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is." | 2 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. | 2 I asked him, "Where are you going?" He answered, "I am going to measure Jerusalem to see how wide and how long it is." | 2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length." | 2 And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. | 3 And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him, | 3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, | 3 Then the angel who was speaking with me left. Another angel came out to meet him | 3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, | 3 And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him, | 4 and said to him, "Run, speak to that young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. | 4 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: | 4 and said to him, "Run, and say to that young man, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited like an unwalled village because it will have so many people and animals in it. | 4 and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. | 4 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; | 5 'For I,' declares the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'" | 5 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. | 5 I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD. I will be the glory within it.' | 5 For I,' says Yahweh, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. | 5 and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "Ho there! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens," declares the LORD. | 6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. | 6 "Hurry, hurry! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. I've scattered you to the four winds of heaven. | 6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,' says Yahweh; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says Yahweh. | 6 Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah. | 7 "Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon." | 7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. | 7 Hurry, Zion! Escape, you inhabitants of Babylon! | 7 'Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.' | 7 Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. | 8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, "After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. | 8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. | 8 This is what the LORD of Armies says: Afterwards, the Glory sent me to the nations who looted you. Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. | 8 For thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye. | 8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. | 9 "For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me. | 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. | 9 I'm going to shake my fist at the nations, and their own slaves will loot them. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me. | 9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me. | 9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me. | 10 "Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," declares the LORD. | 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. | 10 Sing for joy and rejoice, people of Zion. I'm going to come and live among you, declares the LORD. | 10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says Yahweh. | 10 Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 "Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. | 11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. | 11 On that day many nations will join the LORD and become my people. I will live among you. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you. | 11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. | 11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee. | 12 "The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. | 12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. | 12 The LORD will claim Judah as his own in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. | 12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. | 12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. | 13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused from His holy habitation." | 13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. | 13 "Everyone be silent in the presence of the LORD. He is waking up and setting out from his holy dwelling place." | 13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!" | 13 Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation. |
