Zechariah 2:3-5

Common English Bible

³ As I watched, the messenger speaking with me went ahead and another messenger came to meet him.
⁴ He said to him,
    “Run! Say to this young man:
        Jerusalem will be inhabited like open fields
            because of the throngs of people and cattle inside it.
⁵         But I will be a wall of fire around it, says the Lord,
            and I will be glorious inside it.
