Jeremias 6:1
Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Confortamini, filii Benjamin, in medio Jerusalem : et in Thecua clangite buccina, et super Bethacarem levate vexillum, quia malum visum est ab aquilone, et contritio magna.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Ἐνισχύσατε, υἱοὶ Βενιαμείν, ἐκ μέσου τῆς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐν Θεκοῦε σημάνατε σάλπιγγι, καὶ ὑπὲρ Βαιθθαχαρμὰ ἄρατε σημεῖον· ὅτι κακὰ ἐκκέκυφεν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη γίνεται,
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Strengthen. Hebrew also, "Flee, Benjamites, from the midst," &c. Jerusalem belonged partly to this tribe, which prided itself on its valour.
Thecua was in the lot of Juda, 15 miles south of Jerusalem.
North. The Chaldeans approach, chap. i. 13. (Calmet)
