New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
6You there! Flee from the land of the north,' declares the Lord, 'because I have spread you out like the four winds of the heavens,' declares the Lord. 7You, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.' 8For the Lord of armies says this: 'After glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. 9For behold, I am going to wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me. 10Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,' declares the Lord. 11And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me to you. 12And the Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.King James Version
Chapter 2
6Ho, 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. 7Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 8For 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. 9For, 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.
10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11And 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.
12And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

Chapter 2
6"Listen! Listen! Flee from the land of the north" —this is the Lord’s declaration—"for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven"—this is the Lord’s declaration. 7"Listen, Zion! Escape, you who are living with Daughter Babylon." 8For the Lord of Armies says this: "In pursuit of his glory, he sent me against the nations plundering you, for whoever touches you touches the pupil of my eye. 9For look, I am raising my hand against them, and they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me.
10"Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you"—this is the Lord’s declaration.
11"Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and become my people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you.
12The Lord will take possession of Judah as his portion in the Holy Land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.

Chapter 2
6The Lord says, 'Come away! Flee from Babylon in the land of the north, for I have scattered you to the four winds. 7Come away, people of Zion, you who are exiled in Babylon!'
8After a period of glory, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies sent me against the nations who plundered you. For he said, 'Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession.
9I will raise my fist to crush them, and their own slaves will plunder them.' Then you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sent me.
10The Lord says, 'Shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem, for I am coming to live among you.
11Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they, too, will be my people. I will live among you, and you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies sent me to you.
12The land of Judah will be the Lord’s special possession in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem to be his own city.

6Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. 7Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 8For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: 9"Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. 10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. 11And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. 12And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem."New International Version
