Raise the flag to signal people to go to Zion.
    Take cover!
        Don’t just stand there!
    I’m bringing disaster and widespread destruction from the north.
A lion has come out of its lair.
    A destroyer of nations has set out.
    He has left his place to destroy your land.
        Your cities will be ruined, and no one will live in them.
So put on sackcloth, mourn, and cry
    because Yahweh’s burning anger hasn’t turned away from us.

Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.
