6 Set up the standard toward Zion: take refuge, delay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7 The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the nations is on his way; he has gone forth from his place to make your land desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 For this gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament and wail: for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day,
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; when the sword reaches unto the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
