Zechariah 2:6-8

New International Reader's Version

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.

⁷ “Come, people of Zion! Escape, you who live in Babylon!” ⁸ The Lord rules over all. His angel says to Israel, “The Glorious One has sent me to punish the nations that have robbed you of everything. That’s because anyone who hurts you hurts those the Lord loves and guards.
