15. A voice from Dan makes an announcement.From the mountains of Ephraim someone brings bad news.
16. “Report this to the nations.Spread this news in Jerusalem:‘Enemies are coming from a faraway country.They are shouting words of war against the cities of Judah.
17. The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem as men guard a field.This is because Judah turned against me,’” says the Lord.
18. “The way you have lived and actedhas brought this trouble to you.This is your punishment.How terrible it is!The pain stabs your heart!”
19. Oh, how I hurt! How I hurt!I am bent over in pain.Oh, the torture in my heart!My heart is pounding inside me.I cannot keep quiet.This is because I have heard the sound of the trumpet.I have heard the words of war.
