Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
