⁶ Set up the banner in Zion: come together, do not delay: for I bring evil from the north wind, and a great destruction.

⁷ The lion is come up from his den, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

⁸ For this, gird yourselves with sackcloth; lament and howl; for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
