“Blow the trumpet
In Zion!
Sound the alarm
On my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants
Of the land
Tremble!
The day of Yahweh
Is coming!
It is near!”
The day of Yahweh was coming to Zion. Thus, they had to blow the ram’s horn or the trumpet. They had to sound the alarm on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. Everyone in the land should tremble, because the day of Yahweh was coming. In fact, the day was near.
