Blow ye the trumpet— "Sound the alarm, that every one may save himself in the defenced cities: the enemy is come into the field; he hath set up his standard, the lion from his thicket [Jeremiah 4:7.]; Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the destroyer of nations; so called, as the Almighty had given not only Judaea, but also all the neighbouring countries, into his hands." See ch. Jeremiah 2:15 Jeremiah 48:8 Jeremiah 51:47-49. Instead of gather together, we may read, cry aloud, or make a full cry. Comp. ch. Jeremiah 12:8.
