17 Gather up your belongings to leave the land,

you who live under siege.

17 Gather up thy wares out of the land,

O inhabitant of the fortress.

17 Pack your bags and prepare to leave;

the siege is about to begin.

17 Gather up your wares from the land,

O inhabitant of the fortress!

17 Get everything you own and prepare to leave,

you people who are trapped by your enemies.

17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.

17 Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress.

17 Pick up your bags. You are being blockaded. 

17 Gather up your belongings from the ground,

you who live under siege.

17 Gather up your bundle from the ground,

O you who live under siege!

17 Gather your bundle from the ground,

you who live under the siege.’ ”

17 People of Jerusalem, your enemies have surrounded you.

They are attacking you.

So gather up what belongs to you.

Then leave the land.

17 Pick up your bundle from the ground,

You who dwell under siege!
