Jeremiah 6

2 Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.

3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:

4 ‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.
