Impending Destruction from the North

1 “O you children of Benjamin,
Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem!
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
And set up a signal-fire in aBeth Haccerem;
bFor disaster appears out of the north,
And great destruction. 
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion
To a lovely and delicate woman.
3 The ashepherds with their flocks shall come to her.
They shall pitch their tents against her all around.
Each one shall pasture in his own place.” 
4 “Preparea war against her;
Arise, and let us go up bat noon.
Woe to us, for the day goes away,
For the shadows of the evening are lengthening. 
5 Arise, and let us go by night,
And let us destroy her palaces.”
6 For thus has the Lord of hosts said:
“Cut down trees,
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.
She is full of oppression in her midst.
7 aAs a fountain1 wells up with water,
So she wells up with her wickedness.
bViolence and plundering are heard in her.
Before Me continually are1 grief and wounds.
