Le Livre de Zacharie

Chapître 2

1

I lifted up⁴ mine eyes again, and looked,⁴ and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2

Then said⁴ I, Whither goest⁶ thou? And he said⁴ unto me, To measure² Jerusalem, to see² what [is] the breadth thereof, and what [is] the length thereof.

3

And, behold, the angel that talked⁶ with me went forth,⁶ and another angel went out⁶ to meet² him,

4

And said⁴ unto him, Run,³ speak¹⁶ to this young man, saying,² Jerusalem shall be inhabited⁴ [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

5

For I, saith⁷ the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6

 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee³ from the land of the north, saith⁷ the LORD: for I have spread you abroad¹⁴ as the four winds of the heaven, saith⁷ the LORD.

7

 Deliver¹⁰ thyself, O Zion, that dwellest⁶ [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8

For thus saith¹ the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent¹ me unto the nations which spoiled⁶ you: for he that toucheth⁶ you toucheth⁶ the apple of his eye.

9

For, behold, I will shake⁵⁶ mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants:⁶ and ye shall know¹ that the LORD of hosts hath sent¹ me.

10

 Sing³ and rejoice,³ O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come,⁶ and I will dwell¹ in the midst of thee, saith⁷ the LORD.

11

And many nations shall be joined⁸ to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell¹ in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know¹ that the LORD of hosts hath sent¹ me unto thee.

12

And the LORD shall inherit¹ Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose¹ Jerusalem again.

13

Be silent,¹⁶ O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up⁸ out of his holy habitation.
