I LIFTED up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
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.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
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:
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.
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.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
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.
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.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
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.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

1I lift vp mine eyes againe, and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2Then said I, Whither goest thou? And hee said vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3And behold, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth, and another Angel went out to meete him:

4And said vnto him, Run, speake to this young man, saying; Ierusalem shall be inhabited as townes without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.

5For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 Ho, ho, come foorth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue spread you abroad as the foure windes of the heauen, sayth the Lord.

7Deliuer thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

8For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, After the glory hath he sent me vnto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

9For behold, I will shake mine hand vpon them, and they shall bee a spoile to their seruants: and yee shall know that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.

10 Sing and reioyce, O daughter of Zion: for loe, I come, and I will dwell in the middest of thee, sayth the Lord.

11And many nations shalbe ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwel in the middest of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.

12And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Ierusalem againe.

13Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy habitation.

1 I raised my eyes and looked; there were four horns.

2 Then I asked the angel who spoke with me what these were. He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah and Israeland Jerusalem."

3 Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths. And I asked, "What are these coming to do?"

4 And he said, "Here are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head any more; but these have come to terrify them: to cast down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."

5 Again I raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.

6 "Where are you going?" I asked. "To measure Jerusalem," he answered; "to see how great is its width and how great its length."

7 Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him,

8 and said to him, "Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst.

9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst."

10 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I scatter you to the four winds of heaven, says the LORD.

11 Up, escape to Zion! you who dwell in daughter Babylon.

12 For thus said the LORD of hosts (after he had already sent me) concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.

13 See, I wave my hand over them; they become plunder for their slaves. Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.

14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.

15 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

16 The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.

17 Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his holy dwelling.

v 1,2. [3] Vision of the man (Surveyor) with the measuring line in his hand. 
I believe the surveyor is Christ, measuring for the rebuilding of Jerusalem.

v 3-5. Another angel came to tell Zechariah that the city will be overflowing and safe. This looks forward to the Millennium when the Lord will be the protector within.

v 6-9. God had scattered Israel but is calling them to return from Babylon (via the north) before Babylon is judged. It looks beyond and speaks especially of the general regathering before and in the Millennium.

v 10-13. This speaks of the Millennium when many nations will come to worship the Lord, and as God chose Jerusalem for Israel, it will also be the seat of His world government. All nations will be in awe before Him. V 13 is only mention of “Holy Land”.
