Zechariah 2:5 in context

The verses around it, from Zechariah 2.

1 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

4 and 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.

5 For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

6 “Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.

7 “Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

9 I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”
