⁵ Report this message in Judah.
    Make it heard in Jerusalem.
    Say, “Blow the ram’s horn throughout the land.”
        Shout loudly and say, “Gather together!
            Let’s go into the fortified cities.”
⁶ Raise the flag to signal people to go to Zion.
    Take cover!
        Don’t just stand there!
    I’m bringing disaster and widespread destruction from the north.
⁷ A lion has come out of its lair.
    A destroyer of nations has set out.
    He has left his place to destroy your land.
        Your cities will be ruined, and no one will live in them.
