Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
    and take away the foreskins of your heart,
    you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
lest My fury come forth like fire,
    and burn so that no one can quench it,
    because of the evil of your deeds.

Declare in Judah and publish in Jerusalem, and say:
    Blow the trumpet in the land.
Cry aloud and say,
    “Assemble yourselves,
    and let us go into the fortified cities.”
Set up the standard toward Zion.
    Seek refuge, do not delay.
For I will bring disaster from the north,
    and a great destruction.

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.”
