Jeremiah

Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
