Impending Destruction from the North

Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem!
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
And set up a signal-fire in Beth Haccerem;
For disaster appears out of the north,
And great destruction.

Так бо говорить Господь сил: Рубайте дерево та насипайте вал проти Ерусалиму. Сьому городові належиться кара; в йому повно насильства.
Як криниця держить у собі воду, так і він повний все ледарством. Нахаба й тїснота голосні в йому; перед моїм лицем — повсячасно кривда й знущаннє.
Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
Lest My soul depart from you;
Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.”

Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.”

To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Indeed their ear is uncircumcised,
And they cannot give heed.
Behold, the word of the Lord is a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.

Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.

Comes frankincense from Sheba,
And sweet cane from a far country?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”

And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”
