Zechariah 2:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ He said to him, “Run! Tell that young man Zechariah, ‘Jerusalem will be a city that does not have any walls around it. It will have huge numbers of people and animals in it. ⁵ And I myself will be like a wall of fire around it,’ announces the Lord. ‘I will be the city’s glory.’

⁶ “Israel, I have scattered you,” announces the Lord. “I have used the power of the four winds of heaven to do it. Come quickly! Run away from the land of the north,” announces the Lord.
