| 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 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand. | 1 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line. | 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 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 And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof. | 2 And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much is its breadth, and how much its length.' | 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 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, | 3 And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him. | 3 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out 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 unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein. | 4 And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof. | 4 and he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst. | 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 For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. | 5 And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof. | 5 And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 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 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah. | 6 O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord. | 6 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of 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 Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. | 7 O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon: | 7 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling 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 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. | 8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye: | 8 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter 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 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me. | 9 For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me. | 9 For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known 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 and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. | 10 Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord. | 10 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 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 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me unto thee. | 11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they 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 to thee. | 11 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known 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 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. | 12 And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem. | 12 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on 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 Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation. | 13 Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his .holy habitation. | 13 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!' |
