“‘Gather up your bundle
From the ground!
O you who live under siege!’
Thus says Yahweh.
‘I am going to sling out
The inhabitants of the land
At this time.
I will bring distress on them.
Thus they shall feel it.’”
Yahweh warns them to get ready to move. They were to gather up their bundles from the ground. They were going to be under siege in Jerusalem. Yahweh said that he was going to throw them out of their land. They would feel great distress over the things to come.
