“You survivors
Of the sword!
Go!
Do not linger!
Remember Yahweh
In a distant land!
Let Jerusalem
Come into your mind!
We are put to shame!
We have heard insults!
Dishonor has covered
Our face!
Aliens have come
Into the holy places
Of Yahweh’s house.”
Those who have survived the sword should not linger. They should remember Yahweh in Jerusalem. They should not be put to shame, even though they hear insults. Their dishonor has covered their faces, since aliens now have come into their holy places, especially the house of Yahweh, the Temple in Jerusalem.
