“Sebab sesungguhnya, Aku akan memanggil semua kaum dari kerajaan-kerajaan utara,” demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal, “dan mereka akan datang, dan masing-masing akan menempatkan takhtanya di depan pintu-pintu gerbang Yerusalem, dan melawan seluruh temboknya di sekelilingnya, dan melawan semua kota Yehuda.”
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“For I am summoning all the peoples of the kingdoms of the north, declares the Lord” [1:15]. I will implant a thought in all the families of the evil people, and to the kings that they should come to Jerusalem. Just as I might call them to come, so will I give into their hearts that each king should place his throne near the gates of Jerusalem, and near the walls and there will be kings over the cities of Judah.
