In context
1 Go in flight out of Jerusalem, so that you may be safe, you children of Benjamin, and let the horn be sounded in Tekoa, and the flag be lifted up on Beth-haccherem: for evil is looking out from the north, and a great destruction.
2 The fair and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will be cut off by my hand.
3 Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.
4 Make war ready against her; up! let us go up when the sun is high. Sorrow is ours! for the day is turned and the shades of evening are stretched out.
5 Up! let us go up by night, and send destruction on her great houses.
