Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
    remove the foreskin of your hearts,
    O people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or else my wrath will go forth like fire,
    and burn with no one to quench it,
    because of the evil of your doings.

Invasion and Desolation of Judah Threatened

Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:

Blow the trumpet through the land;
    shout aloud[a] and say,
‘Gather together, and let us go
    into the fortified cities!’
Raise a standard towards Zion,
    flee for safety, do not delay,
for I am bringing evil from the north,
    and a great destruction.
