⁶ “Raise a banner toward Zion!
    Take refuge! Do not delay!
    For I bring calamity from the north,
        even terrible destruction.
⁷ A lion has come up from his thicket—
    a destroyer of nations has set out.
    He has left his place
        to make your land a wasteland.
    Your cities will lie in ruins,
        without inhabitant.
⁸ Therefore, put on sackcloth—
        lament and wail!
    For the fierce anger of Adonai
        has not turned away from us.”
