1 2:1 Verses 2:1-13 are numbered 2:5-17 in Hebrew text.When I looked again, I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 "Where are you going?" I asked.
He replied, "I am going to measure Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is."

Many will live outside the city walls. 5 Then I, myself, will be a protective wall of fire around Jerusalem, says the Lord. And I will be the glory inside the city!’"
