Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh,
    and remove the foreskins of your hearts,[a]
men[b] of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
    lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and burns,
and there is no one who extinguishes it,[c]
    because of the evil of your deeds.”

Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say,
    “Blow a horn through the land,
call with a loud voice[d] and say,
    ‘Be gathered and let us go into the fortified cities.’
Lift up a signal toward Zion,
    bring yourselves to safety; you must not remain standing,
for I am bringing evil from the north,
    and a great destruction.
