Entonces alcé los ojos y miré a un hombre con un cordel de medir en la mano.

2 T hen I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

Y le dije: “¿Adónde vas?” “A medir a Jerusalén, para ver cuánta es su anchura y cuánta su longitud,” me respondió.

9 F or, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

“Yo alzaré Mi mano contra ellas, y serán despojo para sus esclavos. Entonces sabrán que el Señor de los ejércitos Me ha enviado.

10 S ing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

Canta de júbilo y alégrate, oh hija de Sion; porque voy a venir, y habitaré en medio de ti,” declara el Señor.

Guarde silencio toda carne delante del Señor, porque El se ha levantado de Su santa morada.”
