38:001:015 And I am very sore displeased with the
heathen that are at
ease:
for I was but a little displeased, and they helped
forward
the affliction.
38:001:016 Therefore thus saith the lord; I am
returned to Jerusalem with
mercies:
my house shall be built in it, saith the lord
of
hosts,
and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
38:001:017 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the lord
of hosts; My cities
through
prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the lord
shall
yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
38:001:018 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
38:001:019 And I said unto the angel that talked with
me, What be these?
And
he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered
Judah,
Israel, and Jerusalem.
38:001:020 And the lord shewed me four carpenters.
38:001:021 Then said I, What come these to do?
And he spake, saying,
These
are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no
man
did
lift up his head: but these are come to fray them,
to cast
out
the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn
over
the
land of Judah to scatter it.
38:002:001 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked,
and behold a man with
a
measuring line in his hand.
38:002:002 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.
38:002:003 And, behold, the angel that talked with
me went forth, and
another
angel went out to meet him,
38:002:004 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:
38:002:005 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.
38:002:006 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.
38:002:007 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest
with the daughter of
Babylon.
38:002:008 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.
38:002:009 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.
38:002:010 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion:
for, lo, I come, and I
will
dwell in the midst of thee, saith the lord.
