1 “ Seek refuge, O sons of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem! And in Tekoa blow the shofar, and in in Beth-haccherem lift up a signal, for disaster looks down from the north, even great destruction! 2 Though a beautiful and delicate woman, I will destroy the daughter of Zion! 3 The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her, and they shall pitch the tents against her all around; they shall pasture, each man with his own hand. 4 ‘Be sanctified for war against her! Arise, and let us go up at noon! Woe to us, for the day turns away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out! 5 Arise and let us go up in the night, and let us destroy her fortresses!’” 6 For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down trees, and pour out against Jerusalem a siege mound! She is the city to be punished, in her midst all of her of oppression. 7 As a fountain wells up with water, so she has dug up her evil; violence and destruction are heard in her, before My face continually are sickness and wounds.
