14O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?
15For a voice is sounding from Dan, giving out evil from the hills of Ephraim:
16Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.
17Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.
18Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.
19My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.
20News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.
