“No longer shall your name be called Abram,
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

For I have heard the whispering of many,
“Terror on every side!

Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”

All my trusted friends,

Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”

Do not go out into the field

And do not walk on the road,
For the enemy has a sword,

Terror is on every side.

“Why have I seen it?
They are terrified,
They are drawing back,
And their mighty men are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back;

Terror is on every side!”

Declares the Lord.

Zephaniah the priest read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.

For I have heard the

slander of many,

Terror is on every side;

While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

You called as in the day of an appointed feast
My terrors on every side;
And there was no one who escaped or survived
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
Those whom I bore and reared,
My enemy annihilated them.
