In context
1Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2“Where are you going?” I asked. 3Then the angel who was speaking with me went forth, and another angel came forward to meet him 4and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it. 5For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
