Footnotes

  1. 4.5 Judah: Hebrew “Judah and Jerusalem.”

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
    circumcise your hearts,(A)
    you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath(B) will flare up and burn like fire(C)
    because of the evil(D) you have done—
    burn with no one to quench(E) it.

Disaster From the North

“Announce in Judah and proclaim(F) in Jerusalem and say:
    ‘Sound the trumpet(G) throughout the land!’
Cry aloud and say:
    ‘Gather together!
    Let us flee to the fortified cities!’(H)
Raise the signal(I) to go to Zion!
    Flee for safety without delay!
For I am bringing disaster(J) from the north,(K)
    even terrible destruction.”
