An Imminent Invasion

Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:

(A)“Blow the trumpet in the land;
Cry, ‘Gather together,’
And say, (B)‘Assemble yourselves,
And let us go into the fortified cities.’
Set up the [a]standard toward Zion.
Take refuge! Do not delay!
For I will bring disaster from the (C)north,
And great destruction.”

(D)The lion has come up from his thicket,
And (E)the destroyer of nations is on his way.
He has gone forth from his place
(F)To make your land desolate.
Your cities will be laid waste,
Without inhabitant.
For this, (G)clothe yourself with sackcloth,
Lament and wail.
For the fierce anger of the Lord
Has not turned back from us.

“And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord,
That the heart of the king shall perish,
And the heart of the princes;
The priests shall be astonished,
And the prophets shall wonder.”

  1. Jeremiah 4:6 banner

Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities. Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us. And it shall come to pass at that day, saith Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
