1O yee children of Beniamin, gather your selues to flee out of the middest of Ierusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa: and set vp a signe of fire in Beth-haccerem: for euill appeareth out of the North, and great destruction. 2I haue likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 3The shepheards with their flocks shall come vnto her: they shall pitch their tents against her round about: they shall feede, euery one in his place. 4Prepare yee warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp at noone: woe vnto vs, for the day goeth away, for the shadowes of the euening are stretched out. 5Arise, and let vs goe by night, and let vs destroy her palaces.
