5Announce in Judah, proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:
“Blow the ram’s horn throughout the land.
Cry aloud and say,
‘Assemble yourselves
and let us flee to the fortified cities.’
6Raise a signal flag toward Zion.
Seek refuge! Do not delay!
For I am bringing disaster from the north,
and terrible destruction.
— Jeremiah 4:5-6
