² Raise a banner^(A) on a bare hilltop,
    shout to them;
beckon to them
    to enter the gates^(B) of the nobles.

³ All you people of the world,^(A)
    you who live on the earth,
when a banner^(B) is raised on the mountains,
    you will see it,
and when a trumpet^(C) sounds,
    you will hear it.

¹⁷ A thousand will flee
    at the threat of one;
at the threat of five^(A)
    you will all flee^(B) away,
till you are left^(C)
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner^(D) on a hill.”
