12. It will be a stronger wind than that.It will come from me.Now, I will pass sentence on them.”
13. The enemy comes up like clouds.His chariots are like a raging wind.His horses are faster than eagles.How horrible it will be for us! We will be destroyed!
14. Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heartso that you may be rescued.Don’t continue making evil plans.
15. A message is heard from Dan,and a report of disaster comes from the mountains of Ephraim.
16. Warn the nations about these things.Bring them to the attention of Jerusalem.“Hostile troops are coming from a distant country.They are shouting battle cries against the cities of Judah.
17. They surround them like men guarding a field,because Judah has rebelled against me,”declares the Lord.
18. “You brought this on yourself.This is your punishment.It is bitter.It breaks your heart.”
19. My anguish, my anguish!I writhe in pain.My heart is beating wildly!My heart is pounding!I can’t keep quietbecause I hear a ram’s horn sounding the alarm for war.
