6  Raise a standard toward Zion,

flee for safety, stay not,

for I bring disaster from the ^hnorth,

and great destruction.

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.
