1. ‘Flee for safety, people of Benjamin!Flee from Jerusalem!Sound the trumpet in Tekoa!Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!For disaster looms out of the north,even terrible destruction.
2. I will destroy Daughter Zion,so beautiful and delicate.
3. Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;they will pitch their tents round her,each tending his own portion.’
