Jeremiah 4:6-9 Lift up an ensign––Zion–ward, Bring into safety, do not tarry,––For, calamity, am, I, bringing in from the North, Even, a great destruction:

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Lift up an ensign––Zion–ward, Bring into safety, do not tarry,––For, calamity, am, I, bringing in from the North, Even, a great destruction: ⁷ There hath come up a lion, out of his thicket, Yea, a destroyer of nations––hath set forward, hath come forth out of his place,––To make thy land, a desolation, Thy cities, shall fall in ruins, so as to have no, inhabitant. ⁸ On this account, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl,––Because the glow of the anger of Yahweh, hath not turned, from us. ⁹ And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, That the courage of the king, shall fail, And the courage of the princes,––And the priests, shall be astonished, And, the prophets, shall be amazed.
