Well, now 'shepherds' from the north have discovered her and brought in their flocks of soldiers. They've pitched camp all around her, and plan where they'll 'graze.'
3
Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch [their] tents all around her. Each will pasture his own portion.
Jeremiah 6:3 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!”
