“Declare in Judah!
Proclaim in Jerusalem!
Say!
‘Blow the trumpet
Through the land!
Shout aloud!
Say!
‘Gather together!
Let us go Into the fortified cities!’
Raise a standard toward Zion!
Flee for safety!
Do not delay!’”
Jeremiah warns the people of Judah and Jerusalem that they ought to gather together in their fortified cities. They should sound a trumpet throughout the land, as well as shout and cry out. They should raise the standard in Zion. They should flee to safety without delay. They should get their defenses ready for an attack.
