like that of a mighty people!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

out of Jerusalem!
Sound the ram’s horn^(B) in Tekoa;^(C)
raise a smoke signal^(D) over Beth-haccherem,^[a]
for disaster threatens from the north,^(E)
even great destruction.

¹⁵ The Lord has rejected^(A)
all the mighty men within me.

to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah^(B)
like grapes in a winepress.^(C)
