SET UP A SIGN OF FIRE

JEREMIAH 6:1-9 

 

O YE CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN, 

GATHER YOURSELVES 

TO FLEE

OUT OF 

THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM, 

AND 

BLOW THE TRUMPET IN TEKOA, 

AND

SET UP A SIGN OF FIRE 

IN BETHHACCEREM: 

FOR EVIL APPEARETH 

OUT OF THE NORTH, 

AND GREAT DESTRUCTION.
I HAVE LIKENED 

THE DAUGHTER OF ZION 

TO 

A COMELY AND DELICATE WOMAN.
THE SHEPHERDS WITH THEIR FLOCKS 

SHALL COME UNTO HER; 

THEY SHALL PITCH THEIR TENTS 

AGAINST HER ROUND ABOUT; 

THEY SHALL FEED EVERY 

ONE IN HIS PLACE. 

PREPARE YE WAR AGAINST HER; 

ARISE, 

AND LET US GO UP AT NOON. 

WOE UNTO US! 

FOR THE DAY GOETH AWAY, 

FOR THE SHADOWS OF THE EVENING 

ARE STRETCHED OUT. 

ARISE, AND LET US GO BY NIGHT, 

AND LET US DESTROY 

HER PALACES. 

FOR 

THUS HATH THE LORD OF HOSTS SAID, 

HEW YE DOWN TREES, 

AND 

CAST A MOUNT AGAINST 

JERUSALEM: 

THIS IS THE CITY TO BE VISITED; 

SHE IS WHOLLY OPPRESSION 

IN THE MIDST OF HER.
AS A FOUNTAIN CASTETH 

OUT HER WATERS,

 SO SHE CASTETH OUT 

HER WICKEDNESS: 

VIOLENCE AND SPOIL

IS HEARD IN HER; 

BEFORE ME CONTINUALLY 

IS GRIEF AND WOUNDS. 

BE THOU INSTRUCTED, 

O JERUSALEM, LEST MY SOUL 

DEPART FROM THEE; 

LEST I MAKE THEE DESOLATE, 

A LAND NOT INHABITED. 

THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, 

THEY SHALL THROUGHLY 

GLEAN THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL 

AS A VINE: 

TURN BACK THINE HAND 

AS A GRAPEGATHERER 

INTO THE BASKETS.

LOVE
