Jeremiah 4:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say,
    “Blow a horn through the land,
call with a loud voice^[a] and say,
    ‘Be gathered and let us go into the fortified cities.’
⁶ Lift up a signal toward Zion,
    bring yourselves to safety; you must not remain standing,
for I am bringing evil from the north,
    and a great destruction.
⁷ A lion has gone up from his thicket,
    and a destroyer of nations has set out.
He has gone out from his place to make your land as a horror,
    your cities will go to ruin without^[b] inhabitant.
