Zechariah 2:5

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about - (cf. , "Jerusalem shall be ... as towns without walls"). Yet, as a city needs some wall, I, Yahweh, will act as a wall of fire which none durst approach (, I, who am "Salvation" itself, will be thy wall of salvation; ; ).

And will be the glory in the midst of her - not only a defense from foes outside, but a glory within (; ). The same combination of "glory and defense" is found in , alluding to the pillar of cloud and fire which defended and enlightened Israel in the desert. Compare the "chariots of fire round about Elisha" in Dothan, . As God is to be her "glory" so shall she be His crown of "glory" ().
