Jeremiah 4:6

4:6 Raise a signal flag that tells people to go to Zion. ¹ 

Run for safety! Do not delay!

For I am about to bring disaster out of the north.

It will bring great destruction. ² 

Jeremiah 43:13

43:13 He will demolish the sacred pillars in the temple of the sun ³  in Egypt and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.”’”

¹ tn Heb “Raise up a signal toward Zion.”

² tn Heb “out of the north, even great destruction.”

³ sn It is generally agreed that the temple of the sun was located in Heliopolis, which is elsewhere referred to as On (cf. Gen 41:45). It was the center for the worship of Amon-Re, the Egyptian sun god, and was famous for its obelisks (conical shaped pillars) dedicated to that god. It was located about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of modern-day Cairo.
