Jeremiah 6:2-6

Leeser(i) 2 The comely and the delicate, the daughter of Zion do I destroy. 3 Unto her shall come shepherds with their flocks; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed off every one his own place. 4 Prepare ye war against her! “Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day waneth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. 5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.” 6 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Cut ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city whose time of punishment is come; she is full of oppression in her midst.
