2
[Though she is] beautiful and delicate, I will destroy Daughter Zion.
Jeremiah 6:2 In-Context
1
“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction.
2
I will destroy Daughter Zion, so beautiful and delicate.
3
Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion.”
4
“Prepare for battle against her! Arise, let us attack at noon! But, alas, the daylight is fading, and the shadows of evening grow long.
5
So arise, let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses!”
