Keep your covenant with me, your Lord, and dedicate yourselves to me, you people of Judah and Jerusalem. If you don't, my anger will burn like fire because of the evil things you have done. It will burn, and there will be no one to put it out.”

Judah Is Threatened with Invasion

Blow the trumpet throughout the land!
    Shout loud and clear!
Tell the people of Judah and Jerusalem
    to run to the fortified cities.
Point the way to Zion!
    Run for safety! Don't delay!
The Lord is bringing disaster
    and great destruction from the north.

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
    circumcise your hearts,(A)
    you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath(B) will flare up and burn like fire(C)
    because of the evil(D) you have done—
    burn with no one to quench(E) it.

Disaster From the North

“Announce in Judah and proclaim(F) in Jerusalem and say:
    ‘Sound the trumpet(G) throughout the land!’
Cry aloud and say:
    ‘Gather together!
    Let us flee to the fortified cities!’(H)
Raise the signal(I) to go to Zion!
    Flee for safety without delay!
For I am bringing disaster(J) from the north,(K)
    even terrible destruction.”
