15 A voice is announcing from Dan,

proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim.

16 “Tell this to the nations,

proclaim concerning Jerusalem:

‘A besieging army is coming from a distant land,

raising a war cry against the cities of Judah.

17 They surround her like men guarding a field,

because she has rebelled against me,’ ”

declares the Lord.

15 For a voice declareth from Dan,

And publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.

16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem,

That watchers come from a far country,

And give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about;

Because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.

15 Your destruction has been announced

from Dan and the hill country of Ephraim.

16 “Warn the surrounding nations

and announce this to Jerusalem:

The enemy is coming from a distant land,

raising a battle cry against the towns of Judah.

17 They surround Jerusalem like watchmen around a field,

for my people have rebelled against me,”

says the Lord.

15 For a voice declares from Dan

And proclaims affliction from Mount Ephraim:

16 “Make mention to the nations,

Yes, proclaim against Jerusalem,

That watchers come from a far country

And raise their voice against the cities of Judah.

17 Like keepers of a field they are against her all around,

Because she has been rebellious against Me,” says the Lord.

15 A voice from Dan makes an announcement

and brings bad news from the mountains of Ephraim.

16 “Report this to the nations.

Spread this news in Jerusalem:

‘Invaders are coming from a faraway country,

shouting words of war against the cities of Judah.

17 The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem as men guard a field,

because Judah turned against me,’ ” says the Lord.

15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth evil from the hills of Ephraim. 16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. 17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about, because she hath been rebellious against me, saith Jehovah.

15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 16 Inform the nations; behold, make Jerusalem to hear: Besiegers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah. 17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about; for she hath been rebellious against me, saith Jehovah.

15 A message is heard from Dan, 

and a report of disaster comes from the mountains of Ephraim. 

16 Warn the nations about these things. 

Bring them to the attention of Jerusalem. 

“Hostile troops are coming from a distant country. 

They are shouting battle cries against the cities of Judah. 

17 They surround them like men guarding a field, 

because Judah has rebelled against me,” 

declares the Lord. 

15 For a voice announces from Dan,

proclaiming malice from Mount Ephraim.

16 Warn the nations: Look!

Proclaim to Jerusalem:

Those who besiege are coming

from a distant land;

they raise their voices

against the cities of Judah.

17 They have her surrounded

like those who guard a field,

because she has rebelled against Me.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

15 For a voice declares from Dan

and proclaims disaster from Mount Ephraim.

16 Tell the nations, “Here they are!”

Proclaim against Jerusalem,

“Besiegers come from a distant land;

they shout against the cities of Judah.

17 They have closed in around her like watchers of a field

because she has rebelled against me,

says the Lord.

15 For a voice is declaring from Dan,

and is proclaiming disaster from the mountain of Ephraim.

16 “Report to the nations, ‘Here they are!’

Proclaim against Jerusalem,

‘Besiegers are coming from a distant land,

and they raise their voice against the cities of Judah.’

17 Like watchers of a field they were against her from all around,

because she has rebelled against me,” declares Yahweh.

15 A voice is speaking all the way from the city of Dan.

From the hills of Ephraim it announces

that trouble is coming.

16 “Tell the nations.

Warn Jerusalem.

Say, ‘An army will attack you.

It is coming from a land far away.

It will shout a war cry

against the cities of Judah.

17 It will surround them like people who guard a field.

Judah has refused to obey me,’ ”

announces the Lord.

15 For a voice declares from Dan,

And proclaims wickedness from Mount Ephraim.

16 “Report it to the nations, now!

Proclaim over Jerusalem,

‘Besiegers come from a far country,

And lift their voices against the cities of Judah.

17 ‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her round about,

Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord.
