5. Proclaim it in Judah,in Jerusalem announce it;Blow the trumpet throughout the land,call out, “Fill the ranks!”Say, “Assemble, let us marchto the fortified cities.”
6. Raise the signal—to Zion!Seek refuge! Don’t stand there!Disaster I bring from the north,and great destruction.
7. Up comes the lion from its lair,the destroyer of nations has set out,has left its place,To turn your land into a desolation,your cities into an uninhabited waste.
