13 Behold, he comes up like clouds;
    (A)his chariots like the whirlwind;
his horses are (B)swifter than eagles—
    woe to us, (C)for we are ruined!
14 O Jerusalem, (D)wash your heart from evil,
    that you may be saved.
How long shall your wicked thoughts
    lodge within you?
15 For a voice (E)declares from Dan
    and proclaims trouble from (F)Mount Ephraim.
16 Warn the nations that he is coming;
    announce to Jerusalem,
“Besiegers come (G)from a distant land;
    they shout against the cities of Judah.
17 Like keepers of a field (H)are they against her all around,
    because she has rebelled against me,
declares the Lord.

13 Look! He approaches like the clouds;
        his chariots advance like a tempest,
        his horses swifter than eagles.
    How horrible! We’re doomed!
14 Cleanse your heart of evil, Jerusalem,
    that you may be saved.
    How long will you entertain your destructive ideas?
15 A voice declares from Dan;
    someone proclaims disaster from the highlands of Ephraim.
16 Warn the nations,
    proclaim it to Jerusalem!
        Armies are approaching from a far-away country,
        raising their war cries against the towns of Judah.
17 They hem her in like those guarding a field,
    because she has rebelled against me,
        declares the Lord.
