Give yourselves to me, the Lord,
    and agree to serve me faithfully.
Remove from your lives everything that is not right,
    so that you obey my covenant.
If you do not do that,
    I will be very angry with you.
I will punish you like a hot fire that destroys things.
    Nobody will be able to stop my anger.
People of Judah and Jerusalem,
    if you continue to do wicked things,
    I will certainly punish you.’

    “Make a loud noise with trumpets in all the land!”
Shout loudly, “Come together!
    We must all run to the cities with strong walls!”

    Run quickly to a safe place! Do not wait!
I will soon bring great trouble from the north.
    An enemy will destroy your country.
