14 Then the Lord said to me, “Out of the rnorth disaster1 shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For behold, I am calling sall the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the Lord, and they shall come, and every one shall tset his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah.
6 Raise a standard toward Zion,
flee for safety, stay not,
for I bring disaster from the hnorth,
and great destruction.
Impending Disaster for Jerusalem
1 Flee for safety, O people of Benjamin,
from the midst of Jerusalem!
rBlow the trumpet in Tekoa,
and sraise a signal on Beth-haccherem,
for disaster looms out of the tnorth,
and great destruction.
22 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, a people is coming from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.
20 “Lift up your eyes and see
those who come from the jnorth.
Where is the flock that was given you,
your beautiful flock?
9 behold, I will send for sall the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, tmy servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, and make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation.
