Destruction of Jerusalem Impending

“Flee for safety, O sons of (A)Benjamin,
From the midst of Jerusalem!
Now blow a trumpet in Tekoa
And raise a signal over [a](B)Beth-haccerem;
For evil looks down from the (C)north,
And a great destruction.
“The comely and (D)dainty one, (E)the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.

They will (G)pitch their tents [b]around her,
They will pasture each in his [c]place.
