So it happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and flashes of lightning, and a thick cloud was on the mountain, and a very loud blast was sounded on a ram’s horn, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

Into the fortified cities.’

Out of the midst of Jerusalem!

And raise a signal-fire in Beth-haccherem [near Jerusalem];

For evil is looking down [with eager anticipation] from the north,

And great destruction.

“I have set watchmen (prophets) over you,

Saying, ‘Listen and pay attention to the [warning] sound of the trumpet!’

But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
