Flee for safety people of Benjamin. Run from the midst of Jerusalem! Blow a ram's horn in Tekoa and raise a signal over Beth-haccerem. Evil looks down from the north. There is great destruction.

Declare and proclaim among the nations. Proclaim it and lift up a standard. Do not conceal it but say: 'Babylon has been captured. Bel has been put to shame. Marduk has been shattered! Her images have been put to shame and her idols have been shattered.'

Will the trumpet be blown in a city and the people not be afraid? Will disaster happen to a city and Jehovah not cause it?

I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem! The city will be defeated. The houses will be plundered and the women raped! Half of the city will be taken into captivity. The remainder of the people will not be removed from the city.
