THE MESSAGE
"Sound the alarm in Judah, broadcast the news in Jerusalem. Say, ‘Blow the ram's horn trumpet through the land!' Shout out—a bullhorn bellow!— ‘Close ranks! Run for your lives to the shelters!' Send up a flare warning Zion: ‘Not a minute to lose! Don't sit on your hands!' Disaster's descending from the north. I set it off! When it lands, it will shake the foundations. Invaders have pounced like a lion from its cover, ready to rip nations to shreds, Leaving your land in wrack and ruin, your cities in rubble, abandoned. Dress in funereal black. Weep and wail, For God 's sledgehammer anger has slammed into us head-on.

Contextual Overview
5Declare in Judah, proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:6Lift up a signal flag toward Zion.Run for cover! Don’t stand still!For I am bringing disaster from the north—a crushing blow. 7A lion has gone up from his thicket;a destroyer of nations has set out.He has left his lairto make your land a waste.Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins. 8Because of this, put on sackcloth;mourn and wail,for the Lord’s burning angerhas not turned away from us. 9“On that day”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the king and the officials will lose their courage. The priests will tremble in fear, and the prophets will be scared speechless.” 10I said, “Oh no, Lord God, you have certainly deceived this people and Jerusalem, by announcing, ‘You will have peace,’ while a sword is at our throats.” 11“At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, ‘A searing wind blows from the barren heights in the wilderness on the way to my dear people. It comes not to winnow or to sift; 12a wind too strong for this comes at my call. Now I will also pronounce judgments against them.’” 13Look, he advances like clouds;his chariots are like a storm.His horses are swifter than eagles.Woe to us, for we are ruined! 14Wash the evil from your heart, Jerusalem,so that you will be delivered.How long will you harbormalicious thoughts?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say,.... Exhortations to repentance being without effect in general, though they might have an influence on some few particular persons, the Lord directs the prophet to lay before the people a view of their destruction as near at hand; who calls upon some persons as a sort of heralds, to publish and declare in the land of Judea, and in Jerusalem the metropolis of it, what follows:
blow ye the trumpet in the land; as an alarm of an approaching enemy, and of an invasion by him, and of danger from him; and this was to be done, not in order to gather together, and put themselves in a posture of defence, to meet the enemy, and give him battle; but to get together, that were in the fields, and in country villages, and hide themselves from him:
cry, gather together, and say; or cry with a full mouth, with a loud voice, that all might hear; which shows imminent danger:
assemble yourselves and let us go into the defenced cities; such as Jerusalem, and others, where they might think themselves safe and secure; see Matthew 24:16.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rather, Make proclamation âin Judah, and in Jerusalemâ bid them hear, âand say, Blow the trumpetâ throughout âthe land:â cry aloud âand say etc.â The prophecy begins with a loud alarm of war. The verse sets forth well, in its numerous commands, the excitement and confusion of such a time.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 4:5. Blow ye the trumpet — Give full information to all parts of the land, that the people may assemble together and defend themselves against their invaders.
