Trouble from the North

“Announce this message in Judah and say it in Jerusalem:
    ‘Blow the trumpet throughout the country!’
Shout out loud and say,
    ‘Come together!
    Let’s all escape to the strong, walled cities!’
Raise the signal flag toward Jerusalem!
    Run for your lives, and don’t wait,
because I am bringing disaster from the north
    There will be terrible destruction.”

A lion has come out of his den;
    a destroyer of nations has begun to march.
He has left his home
    to destroy your land.
Your towns will be destroyed
    with no one left to live in them.

Denunciad en Judá, y haced oid en Jerusalem, y decid: Sonad trompeta en la tierra. Pregonad, juntad, y decid: Reuníos, y entrémonos en las ciudades fuertes.

Alzad bandera en Sión, juntaos, no os detengáis; porque yo hago venir mal del aquilón, y quebrantamiento grande.

El león sube de su guarida, y el destruidor de gentes ha partido; salido ha de su asiento para poner tu tierra en soledad; tus ciudades serán asoladas, y sin morador.
