15 I am going to call every family and kingdom from the north,”
    declares Yahweh.
        “They will come, and they will set up their thrones
            at the entrance of Jerusalem’s gates.
        They will attack all the walls around the city
            and all the cities of Judah.
16 I will pass sentence on my people because of all their wickedness.

        burned incense to other gods,
            and worshiped what their hands have made.

    Stand up, and say to them whatever I tell you to say.
    Don’t be terrified in their presence,
        or I will make you even more terrified in their presence.
