Flee for safety, O children of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looms out of the north, and great destruction.

Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her. They shall pitch their tents around her; they shall pasture, all in their places.

5
"Up, and let us attack by night, and destroy her palaces!"
