1Flee from Jerusalem to safety, people of Benjamin! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise a warning signal at Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north—great destruction!

2I will destroy Daughter Zion, lovely and delicate as she is.

3Shepherds will come against her with their flocks; they will pitch their tents all around her, each pasturing his flock on his own stretch of land.

4“Prepare for war against her! Rise up, let us attack at noon! Woe to us! The day is fading; the evening shadows are stretching out.”

5“Rise up! Let us attack by night and destroy her palaces!”
